SLO Committee Update October 13, 2006
1. Review committee recommendations regarding role with curriculum committee.
A. Change in course outlines of record from Student Outcomes to Student Learning Outcomes and Methods of Evaluation to Methods of Assessing Student Learning Outcomes.
B. Work in conjunction with the curriculum committee in reviewing SLOs during the curriculum revision process. The proposal is to review SLOs prior to submission of course outlines to the dean. Much like the sign-off from the director of the library, there will be a place for the SLO committee to sign-off their recommendation of SLO acceptance to the curriculum committee. The SLO committee felt that this process would help speed up the passage of curriculum through the acceptance process. This was discussed at the September 29 curriculum committee meeting and has the support of the committee.
C. Recommend that Student Learning Outcomes be an agenda item at each curriculum committee meeting.
2. Committee recommendations to the senate.
A. Include the Student Learning Outcome committee report as a standing senate report.
B. Review the SLO course completion timeline.
C. Add the student learning outcomes report to the senate board report given at the board meetings.
