5Assessing GE SLOs
- Once mapped, by assessing course-level SLOs, they
are by proxy assessing GE SLOs - For Example in 2010-11 the following course SLOs
were assessed
6Encouraging Dialogue on Assessment
- In Fall 2011, departments who assessed course
SLOS mapped as "S" during 2010-11 will be invited
to a flex week workshop to more closely examine
and discuss the assessment instruments and
results to see how well they are addressing the
GE/ISLOs.
7Encouraging Dialogue on Assessment
- How did your students do in terms of achieving
the GE/ISLO you mapped the Course to? - Does the Assessment Tool (you brought with
you/used to assess the course) address the
GE/ISLO and allow you to evaluate whether or not
students achieved the GE/ISLO? - IF YES

- Does the Assessment Tool (you brought with

GE/ISLO and allow you to evaluate whether or not
students achieved the GE/ISLO? - IF NO
