Program Student Learning Outcomes Assessment
(AY 2020-2021)
Program Student Learning Outcomes (PSLOs)
At the completion of the Liberal Arts/Health Careers Opportunity Program, the student will be able to:
- Describe the structure and function of organ systems in the human body..
- Demonstrate a solid foundation in basic biological sciences.
- Identify and describe different career opportunities in healthcare and allied professions
- Identify, describe, and/or analyze issues relevant to human health.
PSLO Assessment Report Summary
What we looked at:
The Liberal Arts/ Health Careers Opportunity Program assessment focused on two HCOP PSLOs (PSLO 1 and PSLO 2) during the academic year 2020-2021 (Fall 20 & Spring 21)
What we found:
HCOP_PSLO_1: Describe the structure and function of organ systems in the human body.
Fall 2020-Anatomy & Physiology I (SC 122A) All the 10 students ( 100% , 9females and 1 male) were able to describe the structure and function of organ systems in the human body based on the number of students passing the Anatomy and Physiology course with a score of 70% or better.
Spring 2021-Anatomy & Physiology II (SC 122A) All the 20 students (100%, 18 females and 2 males) were able to describe the structure and function of organ systems in the human body based on the number of students passing the Anatomy and Physiology course with a score of 70% or better.
HCOP_PSLO_2: Demonstrate a solid foundation in basic biological sciences
SPRING 2021-Microbiology (SC 180) All the 10 students (100%, 5 males and 5 females) were able to demonstrate a solid foundation in basic biological sciences based on the number of students passing the Microbiology course with a score of 70% or better
What we are planning to work on:
- Assess PSLO 3 and PSLO 4 for the next PSLO summary assessment cycle (Fall 2021 and Spring 2022)
- HCOP faculty members are working to improve survey tactics to determine the number of students who are currently seeking advance degrees related to HCOP.
- Attendance is still a concern, and we recommend that the college administration adopt a universal mandatory attendance policy. The current, flexible policy, which leaves attendance requirements up to individual instructors gives students the impression that attendance is not all that important and results in a high rate of absenteeism in some courses negatively impacts student success rate.
- Take advantage of advertised tutoring opportunities with the Math & Science Division.
- Review and revise notes after class.
- Submit all assignments on time.
- Interact meaningfully with faculty.
- Attend class regularly and arrive on time.
- Continue to work with advisors, get help as need, and ask questions.
