Not present: John Cashell, Mari Hunter. Mike McFarlane asked our committee and past chairs of the Assessment Committee to meet to discuss the findings of our General Education Program assessment activities that we conducted in the fall semester of 2007. Dr. McFarlane asked us to prepare a report of our findings. He also requested that our committee take charge of the following: The VPAA has asked the Assessment Committee to develop a formal document that faculty can use to assess if students are reaching general education outcomes. Some suggestions from a March 4, 2008 meeting are: Using student evaluations and self-reflection at the end of the year to adjust teaching methods Creating some guidelines for faculty to show them what they should be writing The VPAA also asked the committee to: Develop a component of the institutional assessment plan that addresses how student learning outcomes tie in to program outcomes and the colleges mission. In order to do this, we need to look at how programs support our mission and how we are meeting our mission. Write an assessment plan Request that faculty adopt the assessment plan by a certain date Gary Hannington suggested that each department should create its own reflection. Instructors would have a form and review how well they met general education outcomes. This idea mirrors the reflection process that the Assessment Committee conducted in the fall. Another suggestion is to evaluate one factor each year. The person in charge of each program would do this. Our committee will meet March 14 to discuss the development of an assessment plan and writing the report of our findings. Respectfully submitted by Susanne Bentley, March 4, 2008.
