Major LGBT
Stage 3

Assessment Activities

Assessment Methods
  • Quizzes, exams, or homework items linked to specific learning outcomes
  • Assignments based on rubrics (such as essays, projects, and performances)
  • Direct observation of performances, practical exams, group work
  • Student self-assessments (such as reflective journals and surveys)
Assessment DescriptionThis was the first full year for the LGBT Studies Major and the department focused on all of the Program Learning Outcomes. Part of the process was to develop an articulation agreement between our Program Learning Outcomes alongside Napa Valley College's LGBT Certificate Program as well as San Diego State's LGBT B.A. degree. We are looking at all three programs in terms of intersecting identities within historic and political contexts.

Changes

Details

We were able to collaborate with Napa Valley College on a work-focused LGBT Studies course that incorporates "real world" learning with work and service-learning. This helps focus LGBT Studies not only in an academic context, but also within the context of hands-on applications - particularly in various health fields where cultural competency is needed.

Tentative Future Assessment Plans

Assessment TermFall 2013
Assessment Activities
  • Revision of outcomes and assessment methods (measurements)
  • Assessment (measurement) of outcomes
  • Analysis and discussion of assessment data and next steps
  • Implementation of planned changes and reassessment
Assessment DetailsWe have been through one calendar year round of these assessments for the major. We will be re-assessing in all classes to make sure that the SLO's line up and support the PLO's. All faculty will be tracking SLO's in terms of PLO's and we will be having several meetings throughout the semester in person and via e-mail to continue our assessment and changes.
