5) State the assessment question(s) and/or goals of the assessment activity. Include the SLOs that were targeted, if applicable.

We need to test the current SLOs for another year, as we just implemented then last year and only had two new incoming MAs.

We use final exam papers, comprehensive exams, and oral defense. Individual student advising sessions were also helpful to assess students' learning outcomes.

Ad hoc faculty group

Used a rubric or scoring guide

Scored exams/tests/quizzes

Other:

9) State how many persons submitted evidence that was evaluated.
If applicable, please include the sampling technique used.

Each faculty member in the Chinese literature section (4 until Spring 2010) were involved in evaluating the MA students.

10) Summarize the actual results.

Definite results are not yet available, only tentative exist because we did not have a curriculum map until this year.

11) How did your program use the results? --or-- Explain planned use of results.
Please be specific.

We used the tentative results to develop the curriculum map this year. We re-evaluated course offerings against students' needs, demands, and academic background. We had discussions (online unfortunately, since one core faculty member is on a Study Abroad Program this semester) and they were productive.

12) Beyond the results, were there additional conclusions or discoveries? This can include insights about assessment procedures, teaching and learning, program aspects and so on.

See previous answer. Similar response applies here. New insight: we are encouraged to look at comparable programs within UHM and nationally to see how what assessment tools they use and how well they worked.

13) Other important information:

None.
