occurring and therefore
cannot evaluate whether
they are affecting student
performance on this SLO.
Thus in 2010-2011 we were
planning to implement two
new assessment tools; this
has not been done yet and
we will do so in 2011- 2012 :
- a questionnaire for all
graduate students to ask
how many times they have
participated in oral
discussions, such as mock
exams or interactions in the
classroom with the
instructor and other
students; 2) a questionnaire
for faculty asking how often
they have incorporated oral
skills and discussion in the
class. We hope that this
information will permit
evaluation of whether these
activities are being carried
out, and if so whether they
are helping our students
reach a higher level of
achievement for this SLO.
The faculty discussed the
results of assessment to
date at the 2011 retreat and
decided to monitor student
performance over the next
few years on this SLO before
considering any other
changes to our program.
