ULO Scholars Topic Descriptions - Spring 2022
ULO Topic | Description |
---|---|
ULO1-Oral Communication (GE A1) |
Currently, we have a mix of students who have taken at least one A1 course, including the recently developed HCOM 110, and those who have not taken any A1 courses. The goal of this year’s co-op (and Summer Assessment) will be to compare those two situations to recognize the benefits of the A1 course. We will collect artifacts from students who are at or near graduation from across the disciplines to determine the similarities and differences between students who are pre-A1 and students who have taken A1. We will prepare a questionnaire for every student submitting an artifact to complete regarding whether they took an A1 course, a comparable course in community college, or any course that taught them public speaking skills. As a result, we will be able to focus on developing all students’ oral communication skills from their freshman year to their senior year. |
ULO1-Written Communication (GE A2) |
This semester, we will focus on completing our work revising the integrated WC rubric to make the language simpler and more accessible for students. We will also work to develop a more comprehensive definition of equity (including but not exclusive to course grades and writing performance) to use to guide our summer assessment of capstone classes. |
ULO1-Critical Thinking (GE A3) |
Last semester this group finished its recommendation to the GECC regarding how critical thinking should be incorporated into the Course Certification and Recertification processes. This semester the group will focus on gathering materials to support course authors with their submissions, as well as support the teaching of critical thinking across the campus. We'll gather materials on how to teach critical thinking, examples of excellent readings, teaching techniques, assignments, assessments, etc., and consider how best to help connect with campus with these materials. |
ULO1-Information Literacy |
We ask students to cite their sources, but how do they use the information from those sources in their papers? Are they synthesizing information from multiple sources and expressing what it all means together and how it supports their thesis? Are they summarizing information from individual sources without making connections among them? Are they paraphrasing sentences from sources without demonstrating an understanding of the source’s main concepts or findings? Are they cherry-picking direct quotes to meet the minimum number of required citations? This co-op will explore how students incorporate information from sources into their papers or projects, leading to a better understanding of how to improve teaching and learning in this area. |
ULO1-Quantitative Reasoning | For the past two years, the QR co-op has focused on how faculty from different disciplines interpret what different aspects of QR look like in their discipline. This year, we are focusing on the student perspective. We will hold a student workshop investigating how students have experienced different elements of QR in their coursework and how QR skills are relevant for their personal and professional goals. We will survey student participants as part of the workshop. Co-op members will analyze these data and compare the findings to those from the faculty-focused survey project of the past two years. |
ULO2-Personal, Professional, and Social Responsibility |
The group has developed a series of excellent resources, including the most recent Annotated ULO2 Signature Assignment. The Spring 2022 semester we will be developing outreach materials, and testing them with willing departments. We will also be preparing for the first round of assessment, working with two instructors who have implemented the "signature assignment" this semester. |
ULO3-Integrative Knowledge |
We are focusing on how we can help students and faculty alike understand what IK is and how to engage in IK. We have held workshops for CLC tutors and Math/Science Teacher Initiative students on helping students read assignment prompts from the perspective of integrating knowledge, and we plan to create at least one short video based on this work. |
