Course Learning Outcomes (formerly Student Learning Outcomes)
San Diego Mesa College – Math Department
Fall 2019
Content:
Part I – Overview of CLO Process
Part II – Math Department CLOs (not needed for syllabus)
Part III – Course CLOs/Coordinator (CLOs need to be on syllabus)
Part IV – Course CLOs/Coordinator/Assessment/Rubric
This document is the master catalog of information regarding the CLO process. In regards to using this document, everyone in the department should be familiar with Part I and actively using Part III. CLO course coordinators will use Part IV to catalog assessments.
Part I – Overview of CLO process
CLOs and Syllabi
The course CLOs must be on any syllabus created for that course. These can be copied and pasted from Part III of this document.
Collecting CLO Data
For each course, there are one to three course learning outcomes (CLOs) and a corresponding assessment that were created by the coordinators and/or the department. Some semesters, the department is asked to administer one assessment for one CLO for some of the courses we teach.
Process for Collecting Data
• Some semesters, some CLO course coordinators choose which of the CLOs to assess in collaboration with the department and colleagues.
• The course coordinator emails the assessment for that CLO to all instructors teaching that course.
• Course professors administer the CLO assessment to their classes. This can be done any way the professor chooses…
o As a question on an exam (most professors put it on the final exam)
o A take-home assignment
o A quiz that may or may not count as a course grade
o ANYTHING!
• Course professors use the rubric to score the CLO assessment and email the tallied results to the CLO course coordinator.
• CLO course coordinators tally all the data from individual courses and send it to the department CLO coordinator (currently the Chair) to be entered into TaskStream.
Using CLO Data
The idea is that we use the CLO data as a springboard for discussion about how to improve the quality of courses and the success of our students.
Part II - Math Department Program Learning Outcomes: (These do not need to be on your syllabus, but every CLO is mapped to at least one of these.)
1. Problem Solving: Apply appropriate mathematical definitions, properties, techniques, and/or technology to a variety of problem solving situations.
2. Interrelatedness of Concepts: Demonstrate knowledge of the interrelatedness of several mathematical concepts.
3. Communication and Reasoning: Demonstrate the ability to communicate mathematical reasoning both in the context of solving a problem and in the reasonableness of a solution.
