SLO Assessment: students
in all sections of MGT 150 did not meet assessment criteria for written
communication skills on a final writing project. The average rating for this instructor’s
students for “mechanics” was 2.6 on a 4.0 scale. Students experienced 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. |
Participate in a
professional development program on constructing effective writing exercises. Place greater emphasis on
written communication skills in course materials and assignments. |
1. The instructor will revamp assignments
and assessment techniques in MGT 150 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 in MGT 150 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. |
