PSLO Assessment Report Summary

What we looked at:

The Business Administration Program assessment focused on PSLO 1 that was the originally identified and looked at in the AY 2012-2103 PAS. In that assessment summary, we proposed to resolve the problem of financial reports turned in by students revealing a weakness in their understanding and skills in this area of accounting by assigning activities related to service or merchandising only (as opposed to manufacturing). We also looked at the scheduling problems by engaging in a more coordinated set of activities by holding a conference of faculty members concerned, at the start of the semester, for planning purposes.

What we found:

None of the proposed plans were implemented because most of the faculty got heavily engaged in the program review for the division's four programs, which took up much of their time outside instructional duties.

What we are planning to work on:

In early August 2014, we will hold a faculty meeting to prepare a mapping document that will specify how the PSLOs will be met at the course level. This document will also indicate who’s in charge, and when each assessment strategy will be carried out. This will insure that student learning outcomes will definitely be assessed by a designated person according to scheduled time frame.

Recommendations for students:

Share the mapping document contents with the students early in the semester to clarify course and program expectations and requirements. Also, continue to motivate all students to participate in collaborative learning activities, especially those that involve other courses within the program, to better grasp and appreciate the relationships among the different courses.
