  2. Strategic Planning • Summer Institute at CSU Chancellor’s Office • Planning for GE Assessment • GE Learning Outcomes • Pilot with Comparative Cultural Studies • Recertification in Fall’14

  3. The Team • Questionnaires to department chairs • Responses from faculty teaching CCS • Faculty who agreed to participate in the assessment • Selection of 5 members: • Different colleges and departments • Tenured, tenure-track, full-time lecturer, part-time lecturer • Ashley Samson, Kinesiology • Beto Gutierrez, Chicana/o Studies • Gigi Hessamian, Communication Studies • Mintesnot Woldeamanuel, Urban Studies and Planning • Nina Golden, Business Law

  4. The Team’s Strategic Plan • Discuss classes and assignments • Similar assignments in each of the 5 classes • Reflection papers • Can we use this assignment as a signature assignment? • Discussion of assignments and grading criteria THE PLAN: • Assess sample reflection papers from each of the five classes using a common CCS rubric

  5. The Process • Developing rubric based on GELO and five professors’ sample rubrics/grading criteria • Calibrate the rubric • Each team member brings 15 assignments • Randomly select 8 papers from each class for a total of 40 papers • Two members apply rubric to each paper • Quantify results and offer recommendations

  6. THE RUBRIC

  7. What We Learned • Be specific about what a “reflection” assignment is. • Make sure to have the assignment directions attached to the paper. • Calibration and scoring need to occur the same day.

  8. Next Steps • Meet one last time to discuss and possibly make changes to the rubric based on feedback from team members. • Ask other instructors in CCS to use the rubric. • Ask instructors from other GE areas to use the rubric.

  9. THANK YOU
