1-26-12 meeting:
-
No discussion about how the course meets GE criteria. In the syllabus, under the boilerplate language for the VPA category, there should be an explanation of how the course will actually fulfill the GE’s learning outcomes.
-
Assessment plan:
-
Should be about assessing the success of the course in fulfilling the 2 VPA learning outcomes, rather than assessing students. Provide specific examples of methods used. Thus, if you plan to use embedded questions on exams, pre and post-tests, or a particular essay assignment, provide some examples. If you plan on using indirect measures such as discursive evaluations or class visits by peer evaluators, give concrete examples as well.
-
There should also be a brief explanation of the follow-up process (once unit collects the data on student achievement, how will unit use this information to make course improvements?).
