More Details	Although the outcome of the Spring 2013 SLO assessment was excellent, I will reassess to make sure that this result is consistent. However, I will be implementing other changes that will be reflected in the updated course outlines including revised SLOs. Therefore, I will also assess the revised SLOs.
