Student Learning Outcomes Committee
Minutes
September 19, 2007 2:00 pm, LMC Conference Room
I. Call to Order
II. Approval of Agenda
III. Approval of Minutes
IV. Action Items
A. Susan Regier will be note taker
B. Format for SLOs in course outlines.
Sara distributed handouts: Bakersfield College sample; sample from PC; blank form.
Jay Hargis discussed the information he read on Oxnard College website public information. Questions that instructors need to ask themselves before they create student learning outcomes.
Ron supported the work that was done during this summer’s workshop and that we accept the form worked on this summer. He also suggested that the form be attached as an addendum to the course outline.
Ron suggested that if the course objective differs from what would have been on the outline, it will need to be changed.
Members changed wording on the draft form for student learning outcomes from course objective to student learning objective. Removing “course” will help programs and divisions use the same form.
Form will be called Student Learning Outcomes Matrix. Student Learning Objective in the first column.
Change course outline to include idea that “Student Learning Objectives Matrix” must be attached. Refer to curriculum committee for changes.
C. Plan of Action.
Decision needs to be made as to whether recommendations of this committee should go to the Curriculum Committee or the Academic Senate. Since Ron is on this committee, it would be better if this committee reports directly to Senate.
Composition of committee should be a representative from every division, academic senate president, curriculum chair, adjunct representative, and student rep.
Give out samples of SLOs done in the summer as samples and send out key words from Bloom’s Taxonomy.
Information for SLOs should be put on Curriculum Drive—Student Learning Outcomes Resources folder—K drive. Should include samples, instructions, action words. And Bloom’s Taxonomy, Frequently asked questions. Items should be called “drafts”.
Sara will work with Randy Morgan to create a website.
Bring drafts of 5-year plan (Dale will work on it.) Jay will bring Bloom’s Taxonomy.
