Institutional Self Evaluation – 12-05-12 Hartnell awards degrees and certificates based upon the successful completion of a prescribed sequence of courses at a required level of scholarship. Faculty have developed the specific learning outcomes for each course; these are linked to program-level outcomes that faculty have determined reflect successful program completion. Courses for general education are linked to institutional-level outcomes (core competencies). Completion of the prescribed course sequence within a program assures that students completing a certificate or degree have acquired a certain body of knowledge and skills. (II.A.2, II.A.6) Each associate degree requires the completion of 60 units, which include the requirements for the major or area of emphasis and general education requirements. A grade of ―C‖ or better must be maintained in all degree-applicable courses. (II.A. 56) Program-level outcomes have been identified for all academic programs and are listed in the college Catalog. Institutional-level outcomes have been identified as Core Competencies, and reflect the skills and abilities expected of all students receiving an associate degree. Self Evaluation As documented in Data Mart reports, 2867 degrees and certificates were awarded to Hartnell students in the last five academic years as follows. (II.A.57) 2011-12: 849 awards 2010-11: 616 awards 2009-10: 543 awards 2008-09: 604 awards 2007-08: 537 awards 2006-07: 567 awards The college meets this standard. Planning Agenda None. II.A.3 The institution requires of all academic and vocational degree programs a component of general education based on a carefully considered philosophy that is clearly stated in its catalogue. The institution, relying on the expertise of its faculty, determines the appropriateness of each course for inclusion in the general education curriculum by examining the stated learning outcomes for the course. General education has comprehensive learning outcomes for the students who complete it, including the following: Page 114
Institutional Self Evaluation – 12-05-12 II.A.3.a An understanding of the basic content and methodology of the major areas of knowledge: areas include the humanities and fine arts, the natural sciences, and the social sciences. Descriptive Summary All degrees awarded by Hartnell College include a general education component. (II.A.58) The philosophy upon which this general education requirement is based is stated in the catalog at the beginning of the section describing Instructional Programs: ―General Education is that part of education which is concerned with the common knowledge, skills, and attitudes needed by each individual to be effective as a person, a family member, a worker, and a citizen.” (II.A.59) The philosophy is also expressed in the college Catalog as Institutional Student Learning Outcomes or Core Competencies. (II.A.21) Hartnell requires 21 units of general education coursework. (II.A.60) Humanities, fine arts, the natural sciences and the social sciences are reflected in general education requirements as follows: natural science (3 units), social and behavioral sciences (3 units), humanities— including fine arts (3 units). The Curriculum Committee and Articulation Officer evaluate courses for inclusion in general education requirements. All courses meeting general education requirements have learning outcomes that align with Title 5, 55063 and ACCJC Accreditation Standard II.A.3. The outlines of courses accepted for general education must also indicate that the learning outcomes of the course address at least one of the college institutional competencies. When courses are developed or updated through CurricUNET, faculty complete an online worksheet to indicate a particular general education category and the Curriculum Committee and Articulation Officer ensure that the course outcomes and objectives meet the criteria for that general education category. Through CurricUNET, course-level student learning outcomes for general education courses may be mapped to institutional (core) competencies. Learning outcomes for general education courses are addressed through the on-going assessment of course and institutional level outcomes. Assessment of the core competencies has led to some creative interventions aimed at improving student success in general education areas. For example, some faculty in the science and math areas have collaborated to directed learning activities (DLAs) that break down more difficult course concepts into more understandable components. Working with the digital arts department, these concepts have been transformed into manipulative exercises to reinforce learning in the defined areas. These materials were developed through the support of a Title V grant and have been implemented by tutors and supplemental instructors. In the area of communication skills, assessment of student writing contributed to a decision to restructure the sequencing of courses and placement of ESL students. Page 115
