CSLO Assessment Procedure • Indentify courses for assessment of each CSLO • Select courses with enrollment of over 5 students with 45+ credits • Randomly order selected courses • Randomly sample students with 45+ credits in those courses to attain a 10% sample size • Request artifacts from courses • Student names, instructor names are kept confidential • School administrative assistants pull and copy sampled student work and submit to Assessment Committee and returns all artifacts to instructor • Committee meets to do a consensus assessment using rubrics • Committee consists of representatives and content experts from each school • Results are compiled, analyzed and shared with college community • Copied artifacts are destroyed • This procedure is constantly under review as part of the analysis
Spring 2009 Artifact Assessment • Courses chosen throughout schools that lend themselves to the CSLO “THINK” and “LEARN” • Courses and students randomly sorted • Instructors notified by school representatives • School admins given instructions and names of students • Admins collect and copy student artifacts • ___ courses identified, ___ courses sampled, ___ students identified • Assessment Committee with school representatives meet on May 18th for three hours, and again on June 1st for three hours • Some sample sets were unable to be assessed due to errors in collection and sampling but still may be useable • 21 THINK artifacts, 26 LEARN artifacts
Assessment Results • THINK • Proficient: 7 • Adequate: 6 • Developing: 5 • Unsatisfactory: 0 • Unable to determine: 3 • LEARN • Proficient: 9 • Adequate: 9 • Developing: 5 • Unsatisfactory: 0 • Unable to determine: 3
Plans for future CSLO Assessment • Determine courses applicable for each CSLO • Refine collection process • Training with School admins for the collection process • Ongoing collection of artifacts throughout Fall and Spring semesters • Goal of 50 artifacts per CSLO for the 2009-2010 school year • Assess artifacts in summer of 2010 • Analyze results • Continue to modify assessment process • “norm” rubric assessment process • Visit schools/departments to discuss CSLO assessment
Questions we still have • Do we want to give feedback to programs? Faculty (at their request)? In what form? • How can we maintain anonymity for students and instructors? • How will we assess large groups of artifacts? What are the logistics? • What kinds of recommendations to we foresee as we analyze artifacts in an institutional manner?
