REC 378: The Parks and Recreation Management program uses the social equity assignment to ensure students graduating from the program are better prepared to handle issue of diversity in the workplace. Through faculty program meetings that discuss student results in the classroom, the faculty in the Parks and Recreation Management program believe that students need to be exposed to issues of diversity in a variety of classes including REC 378: Social Equity Assignment. The new social equity test is quite extensive and requires students to complete five different modules. The difficult part of the assignment as it stands is assessing a grade for the assignment. Of the students completing the assignment, 100% received an “A” for the assignment. There is currently no way to give a grade based on how well they answered the questions so they either receive no credit for not completing the assignment or full-credit for completing the assignment. One method that we believe that we can use to further assess student comprehension is to have them write a short reaction paper of 2-3 pages to the assignment. This approach would allow us to determine student understanding of how this training can impact their personal and professional life.ABSENTEMERGINGPRESENTThis column for visitors use only7.03 Students graduating from the program shall be able to demonstrate entry-level knowledge about operations and strategic management/administration in parks, recreation, tourism and/or related professions.Course Specific Learning Outcome: What is the learning outcome identified in the course syllabus that meets this standard?REC 378 with Syllabus Objectives as evidence meet the learning outcomes for 7.03 Course ObjectivesComprehend the leisure service delivery system.

Student achievement on class assignments seen above in tables are reviewed as part of the decision making process. Students tend to perform better on the written assignments than they do the budget assignment. Perhaps one way to make sure that students become more familiar with the budget process is to have onsite internship supervisor spend time reviewing the budget and the process during the internship. Another reason students may have performed slightly worse on the budget assignment is that it is due at the end of the semester and based on the instructor’s observation (Dr. Wickham), the end of the semester “blues” were potentially at play despite repeated warnings to work on and complete the budget assignment.ABSENTEMERGINGPRESENTThis column for visitors use only7.04 Students graduating from the program shall demonstrate, through a comprehensive internship of not less than 400 clock hours and no fewer than 10 weeks, the potential to succeed as professionals at supervisory or higher levels in park, recreation, tourism, or related organizations.
