Measure:
|
- Students will average 2.0 or better on each individual competency completed in the competency profile for each class completed.
Note: Due to the unique nature of the Environmental Technology program, it does not have competency profile that is a summary of all individual classes in the program. Each class has its own, individual, detailed competency profile. |
Explain how you plan on measuring learning? |
As much of our curriculum is delivered to a small number of students in a specialized environment, our competency profiles are by the class. Therefore, we assesses students technical, communication, and critical thinking skills in each class using a variety of instructional strategies, including tests, projects, quizzes, homework, hands-on demonstrations, etc. Student mastery of these skills is documented in the competency profile. Competency profiles are stored in the registrar’s office.
Also, this program does not assess workplace skills/interpersonal communication. |
What were the end of year results?
Any other “indirect” measures of student learning? Graduate and job placement data? Student survey data? NOCTI scores? % of students meeting graduation requirements? |
