Overview of the committee and its duties
The GE sub-committee only works on duties specifically delegated to the sub-committee. APM 215 is added to the google drive that is shared with all the members. The sub-committee cannot contradict that with the policies listed in APM 215.
This sub-committee also deals with petitions from students to waive requirements for submission of reflections for specified assessment of GE learning outcomes based on rubrics.
Exception of policies have been made to MATH B4 on models and has been changed to concepts. This had been used interchangeably in the rubric.
The rubrics are common across all disciplines. The new members should review the rubric that has been discussed in the committee before.
Each of the committee members will be assigned about 30 student reflections for assessment of the following areas: B1, B2, B4
The committee has not addressed courses that have been taken in open university. A petition from a student taking open university courses will be reviewed today.
The committee members also review rubrics and assess random sample of assignments assigned to each of the committee members, This year the committee had access to fewer assignments last year. This year adequate assignments will be provided for assessment.
Regarding assessment: The original scores should be provided for assessment purposes. Norming should adhere to guidelines from the rubric. The official rubric will be provided to WASC, but there will be committee guidelines for assessment.
Petition for a waiver
Students take open university courses for various reasons. The current petition is for area ID.
Motioned to approve the petition was approved and voted -
9 in favor. Abstentions - 2.
Motion to approve the discussion on the petition.
Discussion: This will be tabled to the next meeting based on more information about the open university and the impact that it would have. A document on the number of students in open universities will be posted on the google drive.
Rubric categories
Rubric categories need to be standardized based on the terminology of Proficient and/or Sufficient categories. This committee has voted on the developing category. Also, Advanced is mostly used in assessment.
Advanced, proficient, and developing as standard rubric for the outcomes.
