SLO Subcommittee Report
for College Curriculum Committee
Spring 2006
Subcommittee
members:
Marcy
Alancraig, English, chair
Michael
Mangin, History
Dave
Schwartz, Geology and Oceanography
Highlights:
131 courses proposals examined
98 approved – 75% of total
5 approved because they were not
required to write SLOs
93 approved who wrote SLOs - 70% of
total
33 returned – 25% of total
Note:
These percentages are a near reversal of last time when almost 3/4s of all proposals were returned. Whoopee! See detailed report for lists of specific classes.
Problems: The report we were given did not include Core
Competency #4 in the print out. Unfortunately, we did not realize this until
afterward and dunned many
courses which were actually done correctly.
The report also included 40
courses which were not being considered by the Curriculum
Committee but which we evaluated, not realizing the problem. Dale says
this is a reporting problem that can be fixed.
Recommendations:
1.
Fix
the report problem!!
2. Core
competency #4, Personal Responsibility and Professional Development, should be
always included unless the class doesn’t require any student work, student
attendance or coming on time. We
suggest:
- Changing the curriculum handbook to
reflect this
- Altering Fiesta to reflect this
