Faculty may assess and make action plans on either a semester basis or an annual basis, per their choice. For semester-based assessments, all assessed sections of all assessed courses for a given semester are considered together, and action plans are developed and entered into eSLOs. For annual-based assessments, results collected over a year are considered together, and this is done once per year.

This page will produce an Excel-compatible spreadsheet listing sections from the semester(s) you select below. For annual, select a fall and spring (and possibly summer) semester. close

The discipline form can include either (a) all sections of all courses offered in the selected semester(s) for the selected discipline, or (b) only those designated by the department for assessment.

Here's how sections get designated for assessment:

1. Specific courses and sections get selected for SLO assessment every semester, and are listed in the online "annual schedule" and "status report" (ref: click HERE for access). The faculty SLO Committee decides the formula for selecting which courses to assess, on an annual basis.
2. Departments mark up their online "annual schedule" to indicate in which semesters the courses to be assessed will actually be assessed.
3. Based on what they entered in the "annual schedule", every semester the departments mark up their online "semester schedule" to indicate in which sections of the courses to be assessed will actually be assessed.
4. Using the selections made by a department, the 2nd option below (all sections for the courses selected in the "annual schedule(s)") can create a discipline form per the department's choice of semesters in which assessments are to be done. The 3rd option below (only the sections selected in the "semester schedule(s)") can create a discipline form exactly per the department's selections of sections participating in the assessment.
