function. 2. Students will exhibit the ability to apply key
management concepts to practical problems. 3. Students will
demonstrate competency in written communication skills. 4. Students

assessment rubric to evaluate students’ oral communication skills on an oral
presentation of case project results. |
At least 80 percent of
students will answer each embedded question correctly on selected exams. The average
rating of student achievement in each performance category will be 5 or
higher on a scale of 1-7. The average
rating of student achievement in each performance category will be 3 or
higher on a scale of 1-4. The average
rating of student achievement in each performance category will be 3 or

Criteria for Teaching Success |
SLO Assessment: students
did not meet assessment criteria for written communication skills on a final
writing project. The average rating
for “mechanics” was 2.6 on a 4.0 scale.
Students experienced particular problems with spelling and
punctuation. Course
Evaluation: the instructor received ratings of
3.0 or lower on a scale of 1-5 on items (5) practical work was appropriate
for SLOs, (7) details of assessment procedures were clear, and (8) students
were kept informed of progress toward achieving SLOs. Students
indicated in the comments section that they would have benefited from
additional opportunities to develop and practice their writing skills. |
1. The instructor will revamp assignments and assessment techniques in
an effort to help students hone their writing skills and demonstrate
competency on a final writing project. |
The instructor will include three writing exercises prior
to the required case project. He will preview the writing assessment rubric with
students before the initial exercise and share assessment results with them
as they complete each writing assignment, emphasizing areas needing
improvement. The instructor will use the same rubric to assess
students’ writing skills on a detailed paper produced at the conclusion of
the case project. |
Students will average 3.0 or higher in each performance
category for written communication skills on the final writing project. The instructor will receive average ratings of 4.0 or
higher on items 5, 7 and 8 of the spring 2009 course evaluation. Peer reviewers will rate the instructor’s performance in
all areas related to this TEO as very good or excellent on the classroom
observation report. Peer reviewers will report that all course portfolio
materials related to this TEO meet or exceed standards of excellence. |
