6 SECTION VI- COLLECTING, ANALYZING, AND INTERPRETING EVIDENCE OF ASSURANCE OF LEARNING (FOR BASIC AND ADVANCED PLANS) INDICATORS (Use the Indicators Below as Needed to Provide Brief Summary Observations): • Strengths and Weaknesses of the Evidence Collection • Strengths and Weaknesses of the Analysis of Evidence • Strengths and Weaknesses of the Interpretation of Evidence Gathered Council’s Summary Observations: The return rates for student surveys were 30% for spring 2005 and 34% for fall 2005. The department is working on how to increase the return rate. Perhaps the use of a frequency count would be more realistic than the “mean scores” on the survey. For the embedded course questions the Biology team analyzed, evaluated and discussed student deficiencies in relevant areas and is planning course revisions, accordingly.
7 SECTION VII- USING FINDINGS OF ASSURANCE OF LEARNING FOR QUALITY ENHANCEMENT (FOR BASIC AND ADVANCED PLANS) INDICATORS Use the Indicators Below as Needed to Provide Brief Summary Observations): • Quality of the Academic Program Improvement Plan • Quality of the Assurance of Learning Process Improvement Plan • Completeness of the Academic Program Improvement Plan • Completeness of the Assurance of Learning Process Improvement Plan Council’s Summary Observations: On page 24 the report mentions a “rubric” – where is it? It appears that the Biology department embraces the assurance of learning process as a means for improving student learning. There is a clear plan to encourage professors to deliver a uniform program using teaching and assessment tools at each level as appropriate.. The department is considering developing a capstone course or exit exam – with a clearly stated timetable. On page 26 of the report we were curious about the phrase “if each agrees to release their data to the other”.
