PSLO Assessment Report Summary

What we looked at:
The Liberal Arts/ Health Careers Opportunity Program assessment focused on two HCOP PSLOs (PSLO 1 and PSLO 2) during the academic year 2018-2019 (Fall 18 & Spring 19)

What we found:

  • HCOP_PSLO_1: Describe the structure and function of organ systems in the human body.
    Fall 2018-Anatomy & Physiology I (SC 122A)
    Over 92% of students were able to describe the structure and function of organ systems in the human body based on the number of students passing the Anatomy and Physiology course with a score of 70% or better.
  • Spring 2019-Anatomy & Physiology II (SC 122A)
    All the students (100%) were able to describe the structure and function of organ systems in the human body based on the number of students passing the Anatomy and Physiology course with a score of 70% or better.
  • HCOP_PSLO_2:Demonstrate a solid foundation in basic biological sciences
    SPRING 2019-Microbiology (SC 180)
    Over 98% of students were able to demonstrate a solid foundation in basic biological sciences based on the number of students passing the Microbiology course with a score of 70% or better.

What we worked on and planning to work in the near future:

  • Assess PSLO 3 and PSLO 4 for the next PSLO summary assessment cycle ( Fall 2019 and Spring 2020)
  • HCOP faculty members are working to improve survey tactics to determine the number of students who are currently seeking advance degrees related to HCOP.
  • Attendance is still a concern, and we recommend that the college administration adopt a universal mandatory attendance policy. The current, flexible policy, which leaves attendance requirements up to individual instructors gives students the impression that attendance is not all that important and results in a high rate of absenteeism that negatively impacts student success rate.

Recommendations for students:

  • Take advantage of advertised tutoring opportunities with the Math&Science Division.
  • Review and revise notes after class.
  • Submit all assignments on time.
  • Interact meaningfully with faculty.
  • Attend class regularly and arrive on time.
  • Continue to work with advisors, get help as need, and ask questions.
