ULO Coordinator Topic Descriptions
ULO Topic Description
| ULO1-Oral Communication (GE A1) |
We are interested in learning about students verbally and textually ascribing information to outside sources - a requirement in HCOM 110 and an expectation in other courses. To complete this work, we need more scholars. |
| ULO1-Written Communication (GE A2) |
We are working on interpreting the results from last summer's assessment, piloting the revised rubric, and planning the summer assessment. |
| ULO1-Critical Thinking (GE A3) |
This year, the group is working to raise the visibility of critical thinking across campus. We've designed several posters that we'll put around campus over spring break. The posters are attempts to get students to visit our website via a QR code on the posters. In a second project, critical thinking has now been incorporated into all Area B courses. We're getting ready for our summer assessment, which will come primarily from Area B courses. |
| ULO1-Information Literacy |
Join us as we continue to investigate how students use information from sources in their assignments and consider the implications for our teaching practices. This spring, we will gather student perspectives on their own information literacy behaviors and plan our summer assessment of student work. We will also support each other with classroom practices and generate ideas for incorporating information literacy into our instruction. |
| ULO1-Quantitative Reasoning |
We are finalizing the rubric revision and faculty guide. These will be ready to post on the TLA website and shared by the end of the semester. We are also connecting our work with these assessment materials to our planned summer assessment project. |
| ULO2-Personal, Professional, and Social Responsibility |
Creating ULO2 assessment manual. |
| ULO3-Integrative Knowledge |
We are working on a metacognitive activity book that will be distributed to students, and considering how to publicize/promote it to faculty. We are also planning a longitudinal two-year assessment of FTF/transfer student IK skills. |
