Data Analysis

Data Shared With
  • Faculty and staff within the same program (at CCSF)
  • Faculty and staff within the same department
Data Sharing Methods
  • Face-to-face meetings
  • Email
  • Website review and commentary
Data Summary98% of students surveyed showed a satisfactory rating

69% scored excellent.

27% scored satisfactory.

4% needed improvement.

The data collected showed strong a success rate but could be somewhat subjective to each instructor’s perceived mastery.
Data AnalysisWe will continue to emphasize all points in the SLO across all courses by making sure that all instructors use the same terminology in regards to this SLO.

We will continue with the same evaluation process but each course will work on standardizing –as much as possible the evaluation table to be used.
Next Steps Planned

We will continue to emphasize all points in the SLO across all courses by making sure that all instructors use the same terminology in regards to this SLO. We will continue with the same evaluation process but each course will work on standardizing –as much as possible the evaluation table to be used.

Additional Highlights

We have completed our second full SLO cycle, and have closed the loop for the second semester in a row. We will continue to assess all of our courses offered and close the loop after each semester. This entire process has not only brought our department closer but has given us some great concrete data that we are using to improve our courses and teaching methodologies. The process is working for our department!

The implementation of Google forms for exit survey data collection –and soon to be implemented this Spring 2014 – skills assessment data collection is and will continue to be a tremendous tool for us. Not only does it make collection easy but also allows a clean and seamless transfer to Excel to run pivot table tabulations to allow for a clean collection, tabulation and presentation of data not only to be publicly posted but most importantly to be utilized by our instructors for stage 5 course loop closure. Best of all, it is free!
