COMPUTER SCIENCE<br />
VISION STATEMENT<br />
The Computer Science curriculum is committed to challenging the minds of its students and<br />
providing opportunities for students to grow in their ability to communicate effectively, to<br />
become critical thinkers, and to approach problems with creativity. The curriculum is also<br />
committed to preparing students to become successful, responsible citizens who aspire to lives of<br />
integrity and moral courage.<br />
STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES<br />
1. Students getting a minor or B.A. in Computer Science should be able to demonstrate that<br />
they can write programs in a reasonable amount of time that work correctly.<br />
2. Students should be able to demonstrate an understanding of some of the key concepts in<br />
computer science.<br />
3. Students should be able demonstrate that they can communicate effectively, both in their<br />
writing and their oral skills.<br />
4. Students should be able to demonstrate that they can think critically by analyzing and<br />
synthesizing a problem in order to find its solution.<br />
5. Students should be able to demonstrate their creativity by using creative problem-solving<br />
techniques.<br />
6. Students should demonstrate that they are responsible citizens who aspire to lives of integrity<br />
and moral courage.<br />
7. Students should demonstrate that they are prepared for a career related to their degree or<br />
graduate school.<br />
8. Students should demonstrate that they value their experience at <strong>LaGrange</strong> <strong>College</strong>.<br />
ASSESSMENT OF LEARNING OBJECTIVES<br />
Level I:<br />
Student Course Evaluations: The goal is for 75% of students taking the SIR II<br />
in Computer Science courses to give a score of 3, 4, or 5.<br />
NSSE: The goal is that the value for the Computer Science program is greater<br />
than or equal to ―Mean - Std. Deviation.‖<br />
Level II:<br />
Course Grades: 75% of students should score greater than or equal to their<br />
overall GPA in their Computer Science classes. All of the 1000-level or above<br />
courses in Computer Science, Mathematics, Business, and Art that are<br />
required for the B.A. or the minor must be completed with an average grade of<br />
C or better.<br />
