4) For your program, the percentage of courses that have course SLOs explicitly stated on the syllabus, a website, or other publicly available document is as follows. Please update as needed.





5) Did your program engage in any program learning assessment activities between June 1, 2014 and September 30, 2015?


6) What best describes the program-level learning assessment activities that took place for the period June 1, 2014 to September 30, 2015? (Check all that apply.)







7) Briefly explain the assessment activities that took place in the last 18 months.
- Assessed SLO 3, 4, 6, and 7 in the Capstone course MCB 472.
Discussed results with faculty and collaboratively developed signature assignment/assessment in 407 and 408 to prepare students for the capstone course.
8) What types of evidence did the program use as part of the assessment activities checked in question 6? (Check all that apply.)
Direct evidence of student learning (student work products)














Indirect evidence of student learning







Program evidence related to learning and assessment
(more applicable when the program focused on the use of results or assessment procedure/tools in this reporting period instead of data collection)




9) State the number of students (or persons) who submitted evidence that was evaluated. If applicable, please include the sampling technique used.
13
10) Who interpreted or analyzed the evidence that was collected? (Check all that apply.)










11) How did they evaluate, analyze, or interpret the evidence? (Check all that apply.)







12) Summarize the results of the assessment activities checked in question 6. For example, report the percent of students who achieved each SLO.
The number of students demonstrates mastery, advanced performance, basic performance, and inadequate performance is as follows:
SLO 3: 6, 5, 1, 1, meaning 92% (12 out 13) students achieved basic level performance on this SLO
SLO 4: 7, 4, 2, meaning 100% achieved this SLO
SLO 6: 8, 3, 2, meaning 100% achieved this SLO
13) What best describes how the program used the results? (Check all that apply.)









14) Please briefly describe how the program used the results.
Faculty collaboratively discussed the results, reviewed the exam questions used in MCB 472, and developed signature assignment/assessment in 407 and 408 to prepare students for the capstone course.
