SLOs and assessments

From Claudia:

Here are the steps for this week’s SLO assessment (March 23-28, 2026) across all Emeritus courses:

1) Use the selected SLO for your Course Outline of Record (COR)
All colleagues teaching the same COR have agreed on one (!) SLO to assess this year.

• Please see the selected SLO highlighted in yellow in this document:  Emeritus Course SLOs

2) Conduct a simple assessment activity
Measure student learning in your course using an activity such as:

• Zoom poll

• Discussion participation

• Verbal or written quiz

• Or another quick, effective method

3) Report your results
Please complete the survey as soon as possible after your class. You will report:

• The number of students who met the SLO

• The number of students who did not meet the SLO

• A brief description of:

  • The assessment method you used (e.g., quiz, discussion)

  • What part of the process was most meaningful to you

As discussed yesterday, we will conduct our assessments next week and submit results before spring break. Let’s complete this together so we can all head into the spring break with this work finished.

If you missed yesterday’s meeting, here are the

1. Zoom recording

2. PowerPoint  Slides

3. Approved and Current  Emeritus Course SLOs

4. Complete one Survey per CRN after each assessment (latest by April 17, 2026 but please, submit it before spring break!)

Thank you all for your collaboration and commitment. Emeritus team - we are an amazing team!

Best wishes always,
Claudia
