The Agriculture & Natural Resources Management Program assessment focused on ANR_PSLO 1, ANR_PSLO 2, ANR_PLSO3, ANR_PSLO4;

What we found:

ANR_PSLO_1:Acquire fundamental concepts and principles of land resources focusing towards development and production in a sustainable manner appropriate to Micronesia.

FALL 2014 AG 140
75% of students passed the posttest demonstrating an understanding of how human choices influence the relationship between living beings, their surroundings, and the quality of life.

ANR_PSLO_2:Demonstrate basic competencies in the management of land resources and food production.

SPRING 2015 AG 140
80% of the students passed the post-test demonstration and understanding of the livestock production including feeding practices, breeds, management, housing, marketing, diseases sanitation practices under tropical conditions.

ANR_PSLO_3:Acquire basic skills, knowledge and attitude to manage a sustainable food production enterprise or qualify for entry-level employment in an agriculture or natural resource management-related agency.

SPRING 2015 AG 299
95% of the students who took AG299 passed the written research paper and the presentation regard to their learning experiences gained while working in the area or agencies of their own choice in the field during the summer session.

What are we planning to work on

• We plan to teach the general Botany course in spring 2016. The course is part of the planned course completion for the ANRM program. This course is being revised/updated for review by CAC during fall 2015.
• Improve student success in our program by providing students support in study skill, tutoring, mentoring and being pro-active in supporting the students in any way possible so that they can succeed. To achieve these we have planned to have 3-4 1 hour workshops for all ANRM majors. We have also decided to put one faculty in the A+ center, 3 hours per week to help ANRM students in need for help.
• Improve recruitment strategies including visiting high schools. We planned to work with the Marine Science program to do outreach in the high schools, both Public and private high schools. Our plan at this time is to focus on the island of Pohnpei, yet we will open ourselves for other states.
• Improve and continue the way we assess our courses so that we can improve our program and continue to graduate more student in ANRM program.

Recommendations for students:

• Take advantage of advertised tutoring opportunities with the math/science division
• Take advantage of your ANR instruction tutoring hours in the A+ center and see them if you need assistant beyond the classroom.
• Talk to your advisor, get help if you are struggling and ask questions!
• Read your textbooks before coming to class. It will help you understand the lectures better.
• Going to classes every day, doing assignments, lab work and studying is the key for student success.
• If you are planning to attend College of Micronesia-FSM, please make yourself available during the orientation week. Coming and attending the orientation week will help support you in completing your program here at the College.
• Come and see your instructor’s at ANR, we are willing to help you to become an excellent student.

Completed by: Kiyoshi Phillip, Mark Kostka

AP Review Submission Date: March 28th, 2014

AR Review Cycle: Fall 2012 – Spring 2014

1. Program Mission

   This program prepares individuals for careers in agriculture or for further under-graduate study. The curriculum is structured to offer a well-rounded education in basic and applied sciences of agriculture. The program blends comprehensive classroom instruction with practical experience. The aim of the program is to graduate skilled agriculturists who can further develop and promote agriculture across the nation. The program learning outcomes for the Agriculture and Natural Resources Management program are as follows;

2. Program Goals

   Its primary purpose is to provide students with marketable entry-level skills in the telecommunication industry or any related field/career. It is designed to qualify students to take external licensure, vendor-based, or skill standards examinations in the field. If standardized external exams are not available in the field of study, the program prepares students at skill levels expected of employees in an occupation found in the local economy.

   • Acquire fundamental concepts and principles of land resources focusing towards development and production in a sustainable manner appropriate to Micronesia.
   • Demonstrate basic competencies in the management of land resources and food production.
   • Acquire basic skills, knowledge and attitude to manage a sustainable food production enterprise or qualify for entry-level employment in a land resource management related agency.
   • Acquire a sound scientific background that will allow transfer to a higher degree program related to land resources and food systems.

3. Program History

   This program was created by an act of the Congress of Micronesia, to fulfill the long cherished goal of creating education that was suited to the needs of the island economy. In 1981 Community College of Micronesia was given a Land Grant Intuitions status by the United States Congress through the United States Department of Agriculture as part of the compact of free association between the United states and the three Micronesian entities. This fund created College of Micronesia, which included FSM, RMI, and ROP. Programs that were established include the Cooperative Extension Service (CES), Agriculture Experiment Station, (AES), and a residential agriculture instruction program (RI).The Agriculture A.S. Degree Program was established in early 1990’s and had its first graduates in 1993. Even though this program was very slow growing in its development. The FSM and the United States off American continues to support the program because they believe that agriculture is an important component of the FSM’s economic growth. Over many years the US continues to provide support to the program by providing funds to pay faculty salaries, providing support for scholarship through Agriculture development in the Asia Pacific (ADAP). Just recently the ADAP program ended and new programs did develop; one of the most recent programs that support the agriculture program was the CARIPAC program that is under our CRE program today. Today student enrollment and transfers have increased and more and more students are graduating from this program each year. Today we have two full time Faculty at the college whom are products of this program.

4. Program Descriptions

   The program offers the two year Associate of Science degree in General Agriculture. The program blends comprehensive classroom instructions with practical learning experiences through the use of the two acres College Instructional Farm that has a greenhouse, a two piggery operation, and the portable poultry rearing quarters. Students can experience practical learning in various enterprises such as: Crop production, Animal production. ANR program requirement includes a course in directed field study AG 299 which enables students to do actual day to day work with Agriculture agencies in Pohnpei and other FSM states to gain on the job work experience. ANR students also get experience through overseas summer trainings; students field schools in Saipan, GUAM and the Virgin Islands in Central America. These field schools are funded by CARIPAC funds, a program under USDA National In-studied of Food and Agriculture. The agriculture courses taught at the college are used as electives by most of the programs at the college as science with lab courses. The ANR program also contributes to the state economy by providing technical support and other resources to our partner agencies throughout the states. Some of the key examples of programs include; Distribution of breeding stock to farmers; Providing farmers with compost for vegetable production; Providing fruits and vegetables to the COM-FSM dining hall; The farm is also used as a demonstration farm to all the people of the FSM. From elementary school students to our leadership of the FSM.

10. Analysis

    Findings:

    1. Courses at both degree level and certificate level are not aligned.
    2. Enrollment was effected at degree level due to the fact that certificate programs are not a feeder program
    3. Some major requirement courses are not offered ever since the program started but still listed as major requirement.
    4. Current major requirement courses don't equipped students with the needed competencies.
    5. General Botany course is a graduation requirement for agriculture students but hasn’t been taught for a long time.
    6. CSLO's are mixed up. CSLO for Ag101 is under ag110.

    Recommendations:

    1. Courses at Certificate level need to be modified and align with the degree program.
    2. Need to review and fix course outline for Ag 101 and ag110 (Mark kostka will do it)
    3. Linkage between high schools and the College is highly recommended so it can improve enrollment rate. (Work with high schools to help with their curriculum (Mark and Kiyoshi to work with department of education Pohnpei state and other public high school to bridge the Cap.
    4. Remove or delete General Botany and Etno-botany, and add AG 280 (Food Processing) to major required courses.
    5. Under program requirement, chemistry and statistic must be added.
    6. Remove General Botany or find someone who can teach this course. This is Math and science course. SC 250.
