Business Items
I.
SLO and PSLO update per discipline
Details: Be prepared to briefly give an update on what your discipline has done to continue
the SLO/PSLO discussions.
 Marie gave details of what she is doing with SLOs and PSLOs first. She has 3
adjunct faculty that work with her. SLOs are discussed one-on-one based on the
courses each faculty teach. The PSLO are discussed at the annual advisory
committee meeting and on opening day, since these are the only times that all
faculty can meet. Data are reviewed and discussions take place as to the need for
changes or not. So far, students in the program have been achieving with much
success. Faculty have been very satisfied with student performance.
LNT, AT, and ARCH stated that they too follow the same process. Adjunct faculty
from CADD and CI/CM were not available to attend this meeting (there is still no FT
faculty overseeing these programs), but it is likely that they too have the same
challenges being able to meet more regularly than opening day and one-on-one.
Marie will confirm this with the two lead adjuncts.
Mark also mentioned that he is working directly with Randy Beach on a new transfer
degree for LNT.
II.
Perkins update
Details: Information given on Perkins grant:
 There is a question on the table as to whether faculty should be submitting grants
based on the TOP code or based on the discipline. For example, EHMT has 2 TOP
codes that are valid to submit independently. However, past practice has been to
lump TOP codes together under the single “discipline” There is a Perkins Advisory
Committee that meets monthly, your feedback on this is welcomed.
III.
SWP update
Details: SWP proposal process and stipend info:
 The SWP proposal document is almost complete. There are few things that need to
be ironed out because faculty still have some concern with the lack of instructions
that exists and the grading rubric. Marie handed out the draft. There is also an
update on the Strong Workforce Program Incentive Funding (17%). The California
Community Colleges Chancellor's Office convened the 17% Committee, (comprised
of practitioners and other experts) to provide recommendations on the incentive
funding model that will direct 17% of Strong Workforce Program allocations funding
model which will start in 2017-18. Details will be released to the field on Monday,
April 10 that includes a description of the model, background information on its
development, information on upcoming presentations about the model, and a
mechanism to provide input on the funding formula the committee developed.
IV.
Course requisite information
Details: clarification of course requisites
 Marie presented the information listed in the catalog regarding requisites to the
faculty as some had concerns about co-requisites. Marie suggested that if a corequisite is too strict for a course that faculty could consider using a “recommended”
rather than required requisite. This change would need to go through curriculum
committee.
V.
SCEA representative
Details: APT representative needed.
The SCEA meets on the 2nd and 4th Thursday from 11:45-12:35 (lunch included). Marie
asked for volunteers since she is currently on 10 committees and doesn’t have much more
time to add another one. Jose said he will check on his schedule. Eric stated that if Jose
cannot attend he will be able to make that time and day.
Adjourned at ___12:00 pm.
Next Dept. meeting - TBD
4/6/17 Minutes – Council of Chairs, Cynthia McGregor - notetaker
Approval of Agenda – Approved
Public Comment:
SEP (Student Education Plan): David Ramirez
David explained the importance and benefits of SEPs. The abbreviated SEP is a one-semester plan for
students in terms of registration. The Comprehensive SEP maps out the complete path for the student. When
students work on a comprehensive SEP with a counselor, they also discuss deadlines (such as petition to
graduate, transfer to UC or CSU), supplemental forms needed to transfer, etc.
One concern expressed by chairs is the lack of support for students interested in completing CTE program
while concurrently working on a transfer degree. Faculty have experience this lack of support from
counseling is negatively impact not just the programs themselves, but student success. This needs to be an
ongoing conversation with counseling and CTE faculty so that students understand their options and have a
clear plan that benefits them. It was also expressed we need to remember that adding degrees often adds
units, which then puts pressure on financial aid running out over time.
Martina Peinado, Articulation Officer
Martina discussed the SDSU list of courses that articulate with SWC courses that arrived just before spring
break. There are courses that are crossed out, and she is re-submitting them for articulation. There is concern
that all courses submitted for articulation must have a COR (Course of Record in Curricunet) with 3-year
recency. Since we the Chancellor’s Office only requires 5-year recency, this isn’t aligned with the rhythm of
updates provided by faculty. Martina will reach out to faculty when there is specific concern, and she also
encourages faculty to contact her with any questions. Martina provided an overview of articulation and her
role as articulation officer, reminding us that curriculum is faculty driven and she is providing the support we
need. We also got to hear about her boyfriend, Oscar, where only she can access all course outlines for all
community college courses. There were some questions about C-IDs, and her most recent experience was a
one-week turnaround for an approval.
SLOS and Discipline Discussion
Please remember to submit your agendas and minutes with SLO discussions. This is needed for accreditation
follow-up to show campus-wide conversations. Forward the Angie Stuart.
Presiding Chair Report
Department chair elections are in progress. Must be present to vote. Voting occurs during a department
meeting. Results need to be recorded by the end of the semester, so please take action this month or during
May department meeting.
April is “Vote of Confidence” month for chairs. According to the by-laws, please do this as you wish. A paper
ballot is fine. Cynthia will send an email to all chairs and deans with details.
Calendar Survey is coming. It’s short. Please take it. There is concern that the security was faulty and some
people were submitting multiple surveys. Cynthia will pass that along to Linda Hensley.
College Preview Day is April 18th. We expect 700 students. Thank you to faculty how are accommodating the
classroom visits. A sheet went around the table confirming classroom visit list. A few faculty added their class
to the list. Cynthia will forward to Sandra Calderon. Also, we will have another majors pavilion with tables,
banners, and sandwiches for faculty. School Deans should be coordinating this with you. If not, please talk to
your dean. The commitment is 11:45-12:45 (college hour).
Chair By-Laws need to be reviewed annually. We looked them over and included clarifying language about
what happens if a chair goes on leave and then doesn’t come back. It seems some of us find that idea
appealing. Nonetheless, we agreed to clarify if there is no return from leave, there will be an election,
facilitated collaboratively between Dean, Presiding Chair, and department faculty, to elect a chair
replacement to finish the term. After that, business as usual. There was a motion, second, and then vote on
on approving the by-laws. They were unanimously approved, and we are excited to not see them again until
next year.
Next meeting, May 4th 2017.
Curriculum Committee
DE Moratorium has been lifted!
◦ If you have disciplines that want to propose online/hybrid sections, there will be an
additional form to fill out (in development), including a section on 508 Compliance. Word on
the street is that the hiring of a 508 Compliance Officer is in the pipeline
SCC – Report on Financial Aid 101 (Patti Larkin)
- Please review powerpoint sent from Patti Larkin
- 74% of our students receive some type of financial aid
- SWC facilitates over $44 million of financial aid to students
- Students continue to receive financial payments THROUGHOUT the semester
◦ Please remind faculty to drop students if they stop attending – they will continue receiving
their aid until they are officially dropped. If they aren’t dropped until the end of the
semester but stopped attending early on, they will likely owe money back and not be able
to further enroll anywhere until that money is paid.
Calendar Committee
Block scheduling
- Please continue to seek out addressing Calendar Committee if you need to have an exception to the
block scheduling
- Future Calendar Meetings (email Kim Rader to be put on agenda)
◦ 3/3 11am-12pm in L246N
◦ 3/10 1:30-2:30pm in Conf 104
◦ 3/24 1:30-2:30pm in Conf 104
Draft 2018-2019 calendar (Four versions, hand-out has the two that impact faculty schedule)
◦ Student Services prefers to start calendar at the same time as normal (for summer turnaround), therefore added days will be in December
◦ Please put this on your department agenda and email me if there is a favorite version
◦ We need to “pick one” to vote on during the Spring Calendar Survey (April?)
Summer Schedule 2017 – Change in Locations
All three centers are under their target FTES for funding
We currently have over 400 sections scheduled; about 1/3 will be relocated to centers
VPAA will work with Deans on Monday 3/6 to strategize what sections to be moved. If you have any brilliant
ideas or concerns, please send them to your Dean. Cynthia has also sent an email to VPAA to please be
careful with moving courses since many faculty have already assigned their summer sections to faculty. Any
changes in time/days will be a disruption. Though inevitable, hopefully they won’t be disastrous to
scheduling.
Proposed plan:
- 50 sections to National City (-86 FTES)
- 50 sections to Otay Mesa (-114 FTES)
- 25 sections to San Ysidro (at target…)
Chair By-Laws First Read
Email feedback to Cynthia. These will be emailed to all chairs for their perusal.

4. ESL Pilot Project – Surian Figueroa and Jessica Whitsett, Guests (15 min.)

Handout-

ESL department is proposing a pilot project that will allow students to
enroll directly into ENGL 114 after completing ESL 159A & ESL 159B
 Pilot project that will last 1 year (2 semesters)
 Students who complete ESL 159A & 159B with an ‘A’ or ‘B’
will be enrolled into ENGL 114 and their progress will be
tracked for a year
 Goal is to reduce exit points and ensure students succeed in
their English classes, after ESL

At present, ENGL 71 is a prerequisite to enroll into ENGL 114;
however, a compare and contrast of between ESL 159A/B & ENGL
71 shows course descriptions/objectives are parallel (handout)
 Exception: ESL 159A/B does not address rhetorical strategies

Questions: Why are students expected to pass with an ‘A’ or ‘B’
instead of just passing the class with a ‘C’? Can ENGL 99 be
included?
 ESL department will consider both questions

ESL department wishes for input/feedback as well as for cooperation
from English department regarding this pilot project- suggestions are
welcomed!
5. Curriculum Update – Claire Utgaard (10 min.)

Proposal for ADN 140 to replace ENGL 115 as a pre-requisite in
Medical Lab Tech program
 The goal is to reduce the number of units for the program after
receiving pressure from state

It was agreed to maintain ENGL 115 for now. However, concerns
remain due to:
 ADN 140 is a 3 unit class that meets the writing proficiency
required for A.A. degree- in theory, any student could chose to
take ADN 140 instead of ENGL 115
 While ADN 140 is supposed to be parallel to ENGL 115 (it’s
not a degree-specific course) there’s still concern regarding its
content/rigor

Proposal to change language regarding RDG proficiency
requirement The goal of the Reading department is to change the catalog
language to say that RDG proficiency can be met by earning a
proficient result in the assessment test OR by earning a ‘C’
grade or higher in RDG 158 or ENGL 116
 Current language lists RDG 158 and ENGL 115 as meeting
proficiency for Reading
o Instructors would like a written description of BOTH
ideas/proposals in order to be able to compare/contrast
 This change requires action from senate to be approved
 There’s a meeting on April 13th to determine whether or not
any changes will be taken to senate- please submit any
recommendations to the RDG dept. soon!

Introduction
The Math Department is committed to student success and for that purpose will evaluate its courses and
programs on a regular basis.
Analysis of all courses and programs will be done using SLO assessment results, enrollment/retention/success
rates and any other data that will enhance the process and maintain the integrity of all programs. Official
review will follow the timeline schedule included in this document; however, specific courses or programs may
be reviewed at other times if deemed necessary.
Results of any analysis or discussion will be shared will all Math Department faculty and the Dean of MSE. In

Basic Skills Courses (Math 35/45/48/60/70)
Method of Evaluation
Student Learning Outcomes for Basic Skills courses are assessed through a common Departmental Final Exam
for each course. All course SLO assessment is reported in aggregate form. At this time, eLumen does not
support aggregate input; therefore, the Math Department maintains its own spreadsheet of results.
Evaluation process is as follows:
•
•
•
•
•
The Mathematics Department formed a “Logistics Committee” that is entrusted with evaluating the
validity of all departmental finals. The committee is comprised of full time faculty members.
Each calendar year course coordinators write a departmental final for a particular course. Math 35, 45, 48,
and 60 exams contain 50 multiple choice questions. Exams are carefully drafted to ensure that the
questions are representative of the stated objectives of the course and respect the relative weight
assigned to each objective. To further improve the quality of the questions used, the exam writers use
test reports that provide statistics about the efficiency of the prior year’s exam. The reports include data
for distractor vs. non-distractor answer choices and point biserial analysis per question.
The independent writers submit the exam to the logistics committee whose members gather as a group to
thoroughly proof read each question for accuracy, validity, clarity, and bias. Any changes and suggestions
for improvement are passed along to the writers.
Once the writer implements the suggested changes, the committee reviews the exam again until a
satisfactory version is produced.
After the exams are administered, all test answer sheets (Scantron forms) are collected and analyzed using
a dedicated software package (Remark Classic OMR). The software generates results that allow us to
assess each SLO at the course “aggregate” level.
o Each exam question is assigned to the related SLO. In addition, certain questions are tied to
objectives of particular interest.
o Remark Classic OMR is programmed to assess the SLO questions using the following rubric:
0 = No Proficiency
1 = Low Proficiency
2 = Proficiency
3 = High Proficiency
4 = Mastery
% of questions within SLO
group answered correctly
0% - 25%
25% - 60%
60% - 75%
75% - 90%
90% - 100%
o In addition to SLO data, Remark provides grade distribution and other reports. A sample
for “Fall 2016 Math 60 – Form A” reports are attached.
o The data collected from Remark for Form A and B of each exam is summarized in an Excel
spreadsheet by the Department Chair.
•
Form Math 70, the course coordinator writes an open ended final exam that consists of 35
questions. Of those questions, there are some that are intentionally written to assess all
course SLOs; a detailed rubric to grade these questions for SLO purposes is provided (this
minimizes the differences in instructor grading). At the end of each Spring semester,
instructors provide aggregate SLO results for their course section to the Department Chair.
Transfer Courses Method of Evaluation (Math 100 and above)
Student Learning Outcomes for Transfer courses are assessed through the Final Exam for each course. All
course SLO assessment is reported in aggregate form. At this time, eLumen does not support aggregate input;
therefore, the Math Department maintains its own spreadsheet of results. Evaluation process is as follows:
•
•
•
Course coordinators write question(s) to assess each SLO during the Spring semester. At the
same time, they write an answer key and rubric.
The Department Chair forwards those questions to all faculty teaching a particular course with
the request that they be included in their final exam.
After the exam is administered, instructors provide aggregate SLO results to the Department
Chair.

Detail of Math Department Course/Program Discussions based on SLO and
other Data:
2012 – Spring 2019 (End of Current Program Review Cycle)
Friday, January 6, 2012 – Room 344 – participants FT faculty
Opening Day SLO Activity
Courses: Math 20/35/45/60
Describe how SLOs were measured:
A standardized final exam is given to all sections of this course. The final exam is created by a full time
faculty member and then reviewed by a committee of different full time faculty to ensure accuracy. The
results of this multiple choice exam are analyzed by an independent firm and individual data analysis
reports are returned directly to each instructor at the beginning of the following semester.
This firm also provides aggregate SLO assessment data for the department.
After analyzing aggregated course data collected, what strengths and/or weaknesses in achieving
student learning outcomes are indicated?
At the time of the analysis, sufficient information was not available to formulate accurate results or
perform comparative analysis; given that:
• Data received was for Spring 2011 semester only
• A direct objective/SLO link was not available
What can faculty within your discipline do to improve your students’ performance? Offer a plan(s) for
improvement.
First we will be improving the method of assessment to obtain reliable results. During the Spring 2012
semester, new final exams will be written for all developmental courses. Each exam will include a record of
the link between individual question and the corresponding SLO/Objective tested. This will be used to
target specific questions for SLO assessment.
Although data analysis did not provide direct results, the Math Department is committed to student success
and plans to promote student understanding through the Math Center by:
• Providing assistance during the semester via weekly workshops and at the end of the semester
through final exam reviews
• Having some faculty available during office hours held at the Math Center
• Conducting a student survey at the end of the semester requesting for input and suggestions to
better serve their needs
• Seeking additional budget funds to increase the tutor staff so that we may better service our
students’ needs
Course: Math 70
Describe how SLOs were measured:
A common, open-response, final exam was written by a committee of full-time faculty and administered to
all Math 70 students by all Math 70 faculty. The first, multipart question assessed student’s ability to graph
a basic function, find the domain and range, and use interval notation. The instructors used a general
rubric and reported aggregate scores using 0 – 1 point as No Pass and 2 – 4 points and Pass. The same
question was used in both Spring and Fall 2011.
After analyzing aggregated course data collected, what strengths and/or weaknesses in achieving
student learning outcomes are indicated?
Following is a summary of the Spring/Fall data using the Pass/No Pass rubric:
Spring 2011 – 76 (24%) No pass
Fall 2011 –
61 (17%) No pass
235 (75%) Pass
289 (83%) Pass
Total Students: 315
Total Students: 350
This reflects improvement from Spring to Fall, with most students proficient in both semesters.
What can faculty within your discipline do to improve your students’ performance? Offer a plan(s) for
improvement.
In Spring 2012, we will be providing:
• More questions to assess
• More than one SLO
• Specific grading rubrics for each question (rather than the department guidelines only) to insure
uniformity in instructor scoring.
Individual instructors are becoming more aware of the unusual content of this course, and report making
refinements of instruction regarding procedural vs. analytical methods.
Instructors have the option to use graphing calculator worksheets provided by a full time faculty member’s
sabbatical project.
Courses: All Transfer Level, Math 100 and above
Describe how SLOs were measured:
One question specifically formulated by full time faculty was included in the final exam for each section of
the course. Individual instructors then graded the question using a 0 to 4 rubric and submitted their
aggregate results to the Math Department Chair. However, those aggregate results consisted of a simpler
Pass/No Pass scale using 0 or 1 scores for No Pass and 2, 3, or 4 for Pass.
After analyzing aggregated course data collected, what strengths and/or weaknesses in achieving
student learning outcomes are indicated?
Our analysis suggested that the method of assessment was not sufficient to arrive at any meaningful
conclusions about learning outcomes. Instead, the need for changing and improving the assessment
process was thoroughly discussed.
What can faculty within your discipline do to improve your students’ performance? Offer a plan(s) for
improvement.
At this moment, our faculty will focus on improving the assessment tools so that we can obtain more
reliable and meaningful data. Some of the changes suggested include increasing the number of questions
that are used to assess a specific SLO and changing the rubric to a true 0 – 4 scale (instead of Pass/No Pass).
FALL 2015 – DISCUSSIONS AMONG FACULTY TEACHING CALCULUS COURSES
FT faculty had several discussions related to inadequate trigonometry skills noted in Calculus students.
As a result, a non-credit Trigonometry refresher course was created. The details of the course (which
was submitted in CurricUNET on August 9, 2016) are as follows:
Hours of instruction: 9; Class maximum: 24
Course Description & Scope: Provides a review to students who wish to refresh their trigonometry skills.
Includes topics such as trigonometric functions; radian measure of angles; graphs of sine, cosine, and
tangent; trigonometric equations and inverse trigonometric equations; and law of sines and cosines.
Consists of personalized computer-assisted instruction to refresh those concepts identified as needed for
each student.
Calculus instructors would refer students to the course for enrollment. The course will be set to begin
during the second or third week of the semester, beginning Spring 2016.
Friday, May 6, 2016 – Room 342 – 11 participants FT and PT faculty
SLO results up to Fall 2015 considered for Math 34/45/60
Math 35:
After analyzing aggregate course data, what strengths and/or weaknesses in achieving SLOs are
indicated:
For Spring and Fall 2015 we achieved roughly 60% proficiency in SLO 3 (Solving linear equations…). We
would consider this strength in our SLO achievement. However, for SLO 1 and 2 (Perform calculations
with… and Set-up and simplify ratios…) we achieved only 20-30% proficiency. We would consider SLOs 1
and 2 our weakness in achieving SLO goals.
What can faculty do to improve students’ performance in achieving SLOs? Offer a plan or plans of
improvement:
To improve SLO 1, faculty could have multiplication table drills. For SLO 2, many topics are based on
formulas and students struggle to remember those formulas. We can work on teaching students to form
relationships between formulas. Another suggestion would be for all Math 35 instructors to have an
understanding of the “most important” or essential formulas and to concentrate on teaching those
(depth not breath).
Also, we could include some multiple choice assessments throughout the semester to prepare students
for the final.
Math 45:
After analyzing aggregate course data, what strengths and/or weaknesses in achieving SLOs are
indicated:
Strengths were noted in SLO 1 (Recognize and apply…) at 80% proficiency, and SLO 2 (Solve linear
equations…) at 60% proficiency. However, SLO 3 (Graph lines and inequalities…) was identified as a
weakness given the 40-50% proficiency levels.
What can faculty do to improve students’ performance in achieving SLOs? Offer a plan or plans of
improvement:
One suggestion is to re-arrange the suggested sequence of topics by having the chapter in factoring
introduced earlier and then incorporate the topic into every assessment thereafter. Suggested order is:
Chapter 1, 2, 5, 6, 3, 4. This rearrangement might help strengthen factoring and graphing. To assess
results we would need to split SLO data based on course arrangement.
Math 60:
After analyzing aggregate course data, what strengths and/or weaknesses in achieving SLOs are
indicated:
Strengths were SLO 1 (Recognize and apply algebraic vocabulary…) and SLO 2 (Graph linear, quadratic…)
which are topics that students would have seen before and may be review.
Weaknesses were noted in SLO 3 (Use algebraic techniques…) which is the outcome related to word
problems and applications.
What can faculty do to improve students’ performance in achieving SLOs? Offer a plan or plans of
improvement:
Introduce word problems and application problems at the beginning of each chapter and throughout the
chapter (not necessarily solving the problem, but practicing set-up and variable definition) rather than at
the end.
Write a final exam question where students have to write an equation of the word problem. Also,
incorporate some multiple choice questions in semester exams so that students get familiar with multiple
choice format.
Friday, August 19, 2016 – Participants: FT and PT faculty
Opening Day SLO Activity
MATH 35:
Which SLO did you assess?
All Math 35 SLOs
How did your discipline collect data for this SLO?
Departmental Exam Final – selected questions are assigned to assess each SLO
Is this outcome measuring what should be measured in this course, and are students achieving an
acceptable level of proficiency in your opinion? Please explain.
On SLO 1 36% of students scored as proficient or better; on SLO 2 only 23% were proficient or better;
however, on SLO 3, 65% were proficient or better.
SLOs are measured via the final exam, but the level of difficulty among SLO questions is not consistent
(fractions/decimals – harder questions; word problems – easier).
What conclusions did you make after looking at the data? What did you discuss?
SLOs are very broad, need to be more specific.
Make a recommendation that you think will help to increase student learning for this outcome.
Break the three SLOs into sub-SLOs.
Move ratios and rates to SLO1
Move proportions to SLO 3
Review course topics for overlap
Shorten final exam
A new text might help
Build questions that are appropriate for a non-calculator exam
What resources, if any, does your discipline need to accomplish your action step?
PSP and Math Center tutors
Describe the steps we will take to implement the recommendation made above and please include an
estimated timeline.
• Have regular multiplication table drills – this will improve performance in SLO1
• Students tend to struggle to remember formulas. As instructors, we could work on teaching students
to form relationships between the formulas.
• Have an understanding of the most essential formulas and concentrate on teaching those (depth, not
breath).
•
Include some multiple choice questions on exams to prepare students for the final.
MATH 45:
Which SLO did you assess?
All Math 45 SLOs
How did your discipline collect data for this SLO?
Departmental Exam Final – selected questions are assigned to assess each SLO
Is this outcome measuring what should be measured in this course, and are students achieving an
acceptable level of proficiency in your opinion? Please explain.
SLOs are too broad so we are unable to pin down a specific proficiency.
Data is not great, better proficiency levels should be expected; however, data only comes from final
exam (excluding any work done during the semester)
What conclusions did you make after looking at the data? What did you discuss?
Split data is more helpful. It would be best to have data segregated by topic – then we can better discuss
results and improvements
Consider data of classes that have PSP tutors – classes that meet during different days, etc.
Make a recommendation that you think will help to increase student learning for this outcome.
Re-write SLOs and assessment method to better indentify weaknesses and steps to improve student
learning.
What resources, if any, does your discipline need to accomplish your action step?
More funding for Math Center tutors and PSP tutors.
Describe the steps we will take to implement the recommendation made above and please include an
estimated timeline.
• Re-arrange the sequence in which topics are covered ie. Chapter 1, 2, 5, 6, 3, 4. This way factoring is
covered earlier in the semester.
• Incorporate topics that represent weaknesses in every assessment. i.e. After factoring is covered
(with the re-arranged sequence), include some factoring problems in each exam.
• Analyze results by splitting the information between classes that re-arrange the schedule and classes
that do not.
• Have FT math faculty in the Math Center
• Create worksheets/handout to be available in the Math Center for specific topics – introduce
uniformity in tutoring.
• Improve tutor training
• Have a site where instructor materials can be shared (ie. Worksheet or practice activities that work
well for certain topics). Use Sharepoint for teaching resources.
•
Encourage students to keep a portfolio of their work to include class notes, handouts,
graded work,etc. All of these materials can be used as reference to study and prepare for
exams.
MATH 60:
Which SLO did you assess?
All Math 60 SLOs
How did your discipline collect data for this SLO?
Departmental Exam Final – selected questions are assigned to assess each SLO
Is this outcome measuring what should be measured in this course, and are students achieving an
acceptable level of proficiency in your opinion? Please explain.
Rational expressions should be measured separately.
Data shows that students are not achieving an acceptable level of proficiency:
SLO 1: 39% at low/no proficiency
SLO 2: 40% at low/no proficiency
SLO 3: 60% at low/no proficiency
What conclusions did you make after looking at the data? What did you discuss?
Rewrite SLOs (take vocabulary from SLO 1 to SLO3)
Re-visit some questions for the SLO and replace
Grading scale and weight for final is inconsistent – therefore student performance is inconsistent
Make a recommendation that you think will help to increase student learning for this outcome.
Math Center tutors can have weekly review workshops during the semester for specific topics – integrate
questions related to the SLO that is being covered by then.
Include free response questions on the final exam review.
What resources, if any, does your discipline need to accomplish your action step?
More PSP tutors – with more time in the classroom.
Describe the steps we will take to implement the recommendation made above and please include an
estimated timeline.
• To help students understand word problems we should introduce them at the beginning and
throughout the chapter (not just at the end). Also, have some questions where they do not have to
solve the problem, but just describe the meaning of the variable and set-up an equation.
• Incorporate some multiple choice questions into some exams to expose student to the type of
questions they will see in the final.
•
Incorporate previous chapter problems on current exams.
MATH 70:
Which SLO did you assess?
All Math 70 SLOs
How did your discipline collect data for this SLO?
Departmental Exam Final – selected questions are assigned to assess each SLO
Is this outcome measuring what should be measured in this course, and are students achieving an
acceptable level of proficiency in your opinion? Please explain.
This outcome ismeasuring a portion of the SLO topics. Particularly on SLO 1, improvements are needed
since 35% of students scored at Low or No proficiency.
What conclusions did you make after looking at the data? What did you discuss?
Will consider re-writing SLOs to break them appart.
Make a recommendation that you think will help to increase student learning for this outcome.
Final Exam: Use 6 questions to assess 3 SLOs, as done in Math 250.
Final Exam/SLO: Instructors – conscientiously use grading rubric and send feedback to course
coordinator.
Math Center: Have tutors ask students which course they are in before they start tutoring – especially
since Math 70 should include GC methods.
What resources, if any, does your discipline need to accomplish your action step?
Document cameras in all classrooms
Tablet computers for all faculty
New projectors in 398, 397, others?? (because tablet images become square)
If internet connection is down, emulator in classroom does not work – provide all Math 70 instructors
with emulators on memory disk
ASO rental calculator upgrade
Upgrade classroom computers (e.g. room 555 in National City)
Describe the steps we will take to implement the recommendation made above and please include an
estimated timeline.
• Will make request for materials through program review and other sources of funding such as BSI.
• Communicate with all instructors teaching Math 70 to improve accuracy and reliability of SLO
assessment process.
•
Ensure that tutors in the Math Center include a graphing calculator approach when helping
Math 70 students.
Saturday, September 24, 2016 – Participants: FT and PT faculty
MATHEMATICS DEPARTMENT RETREAT
Objective: Explore re-design options to streamline the current Developmental Mathematics course
sequence through changes to course offerings and/or course content.
A total of 30 FT, PT Math faculty and 2 counselors came together for 4 hours to discuss the Math
program for Developmental courses. Data considered included course SLO analysis completed during
opening day (8/19/2016), successful completion rates for the courses in questions and Basic Skills Tracker
Data from the Chancellor’s office and CAP (California Acceleration Project) information.
Small group discussion yielded similar results: It is necessary to shorten the developmental path. It was
decided that the focus at this time would be on STEM pathway.
Plan of Improvement:
Create a FT faculty group to explore Intermediate Algebra re-design options for STEM pathway.
This group (called Intermediate Algebra Acceleration Project) was formed immediately after the retreat
took place; Martha Carey is the lead faculty member coordinating this effort. The team is comprised of 8
members.
Friday, January 27, 2017 – Participants: FT and PT faculty
Opening Day SLO Activity
Which PSLO did you assess?
Program: Associate of Science in Mathematics Studies in Transfer 01585:
SLO: Use the basic definitions, properties, theorems, and techniques of Calculus.
Is this outcome accurately measuring what should be measured in this program, and are students
achieving an acceptable level of proficiency in your opinion? Please explain.
• The SLO may be adequate to assess the content knowledge, but not necessarily success of the
program. To evaluate program success we need transfer data
• Currently, assessment numbers are pulled from CSLOs for Math 250/251/252. However, not all
students taking the Calculus sequence are Math Majors; many are majoring in engineering,
computer science, physics, etc. This will cause inaccuracies in program data.
Considering Math 250/251/252 CSLO data, 44% of the students in the program are receiving a score 3 or
higher, which is an acceptable level of proficiency while we have 65% with a score that is not proficient (2
or less). We believe that we need to improve the level of proficiency in the program.
What conclusions did you make after looking at the data? What did you discuss?
• Many students take Math 250, but do not move on to Math 251 and 252; therefore, PSLO data
would be better represented by considering only CSLOs from Math 251/252.
• To better assess our program, it was discussed that an additional PSLO should measure also include
transfer rates of students in the program. For this analysis we would also need success data (at the
transfer institution) to assess how well we are preparing students. In addition, it would be great to
have data on time-to-completion; to see how fast our students are able to complete the program.
Make at least one recommendation that you think will help to increase student learning for this
outcome.
• Make corrections to the way data is assessed (i.e. exclude Math 250 from the results for the
program).
• Improve collaboration between pre-calculus and calculus instructors to ensure that students are
better prepared.
• Implement PSP tutoring for Calculus sequence
• Continue non-credit trigonometry refresher
• Implement other non-credit refreshers
• Expand workshop offerings for the calculus sequence.
• Expand offerings for transfer level courses (consider high-school offerings). Also, need classrooms to
offer more courses. Improve scheduling by have a more flexible college hour or offer additional
MWF sections.
• Improve study group facilitations.
• Improve assessment/placement methods
• Improve and revise our pedagogical methods for teaching calculus and possibly include a lab portion.
In the lab portion, we could have students do collaborative learning projects or have faculty
demonstrate where the calculus topics they are learning appear in upper level science and
•
engineering classes as well as how it is used in STEM research programs.
Considering what other colleges are using as a PSLO and CSLOs and how their data looks to help us
improve our PSLO and CSLO process.
What resources, if any, does your discipline need to accomplish your actions step(s)?
• More tutors and larger space for tutoring centers. To also include the centers.
• Improve communication with transfer students and transfer institutions.
• Additional funding for MESA Center
Describe the steps that will be taken to implement the recommendation(s) made above and please
include an estimated timeline.
Steps:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Increase conversation between Precalculus and calculus instructors (Spring 2017 and
ongoing)
Inquire about having PSP leaders in Math 250 courses (inquire in Spring 2017 for Fall 2017
and/or subsequent semesters – but depends on funding)
Implement workshops (Fall 2017)
Implement more non-credit refreshers (begin research in Spring 2017)
Improve PSLO assessment data by excluding Math 250 results
Continue to work on assessment/placement process
Timeline:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Spring 2017 and ongoing
Begin inquiries in Spring 2017 for Fall 2017 and/or subsequent semesters – but depends on
funding
Earliest possible would be Fall 2017
Begin research for non-credit course offerings in Spring 2017
Spring 2017
Ongoing from Spring 2016
Thursday, February 16, 2017 – MATH DEPARTMENT MEETING
UPDATE ON PLAN OF IMPROVEMENT FROM SEPTEMBER 24, 2016
During the first Math Department Meeting of Spring 2017, the team coordinating the Intermediate
Algebra Acceleration Project provided the following update:
Goal: Math 60 (4 units) + Bridge (2 units) = New Math 70 (6 units)
Reduce the STEM/business path by 1 semester & 2 units (from 12 M45/48-60-70 to 10 for M45/48-70).
Bridge to be offered Intersession, Summer, and as short-course during regular terms.
Both Bridge and New Math 70 have required graphing calculator.
Timeline:
Full implementation in Fall 2018
This semester: CurricUNET to add the Bridge path to Math and MSE classes having Math 70
prerequisites
STEM/Business path will become: Math 45/48 -> Math 70 -> Transfer-level
Non-STEM/Non-business path will remain: Math 45/48 -> Math 60 -> Math 100 or 110.
STEM/Business alternate path: Math 45/48 -> Math 60 -> Bridge ->Transfer-level
Students who take Math 60 by mistake can take the Bridge course (number between 61 and 64 TBA)
during Intersession or Summer, and go directly from Bridge to Transfer-level.
Students will need to decide after Math 45/48 (instead of Math 60) which path to take.
Communication with
•
Math 45 and Math 48 students, esp. in Spring 2018 and Fall 2018.
•
MSE faculty (starting now)
•
Counselors (soon)
