SLO Subcommittee Report Fall 2005
SLO Subcommittee Report
for College Curriculum Committee
Fall 2005
Subcommittee members:
Marcy Alancraig, English, chair
Michael Mangin, History
Dave Schwartz, Geology and Oceanography
Highlights:
278 courses proposals examined
77 approved – 28% of total
29 approved because they were not required to write SLOs
48 approved who wrote SLOs - 17% of total
201 returned – 72% of total
87 returned because they didn’t list Core Competency #4
114 returned because SLOs needed to be rewritten – 41% of total
See detailed report below for lists of the specific courses.
Recommendations:
1. 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
- More training of Division Curriculum Committees in how to write SLOs so that they can work with faculty and/or send back proposals that need help.
