SLOs REPORT: Pat Flood distributed two charts illustrating the Student Learning Outcome and Assessment progress over the past two years for the academic units.Over the last year (May of 2008 to January 2009), defined SLOs have increased from 61% to 74%; however, this includes all courses. If only active courses were counted, the number would be closer to 95%; courses with defined SLO assessments have increased from 59% to 69%; evaluation of assessments has increased from 20% to 40% and changes planned and implemented as a result of the assessments have increased from 14% to 33%. Though 40% of the academic units have reported assessments, not all have made changes as a result of the evaluation of their assessments; in some cases the evaluations resulted in affirmation that the SLOs are being met.
