2. Fall 2003 Forum. Please talk to Brent if you have ideas for this

3. Update on Committees:
Numeracy - Kory
Kory reported the committee is in the process of receiving some samples.
Getting samples submitted is an ongoing problem.
Writing - Mike
The writing committee is in the process of getting samples for portfolio
assessments. Not as many students are qualifying this semester with
63 students participating.
Oral Presentation - Liz
The oral presentation committee is currently rating tapes.
Team Building - Scott
The team building committee also has difficulty getting samples. Adjunct
faculty were trained on the rubric at the start of the semester.
ESL - Pam
The ESL committee is currently testing grammar and composition. They
are working on developing a rubric for listening and speaking. They
are also considering portfolio work to determine where students are
after ESL classes.
Developmental Education - Camilla
The Developmental Education Assessment Survey pre-tests were distributed
during the 3rd week of classes. Participation is down slightly from
last semester but may be reflective of reduced number of Developmental
Ed classes. Workshops are taking place this week and post-tests are
set for the week of April 28th.
Critical Thinking - Phil
The critical thinking committee recently developed a new rubric and
is currently testing it. They are also looking at standardized testing,
and field testing that this semester as well.
4. Assessment Day set for April 11, 2003. Lunch will be at 12:30
and the program will start at 1:00. Each committee will do a brief
presentation. Other ideas for the program were a discussion on how
assessment fits into NCA criteria and having committee tables at lunch
to facilitate discussion.
5. Other
Marian Tadano discussed how to encourage more participation from faculty.
She may decide to contact faculty individually to discuss how they
are involved in assessment.
Cecilia Lopez is leaving NCA effective this month. Her replacement
is unknown at this time.
Next meeting: Tuesday, April 8th at 2:00 in A204
