The College will
measure outcomes for students who need developmental courses as part of its
ongoing Institutional Effectiveness Program. Each Fall, the Office of Institutional Effectiveness will submit a report
to the Associate Vice President for Academic Programs, the Deans responsible for
developmental education courses, and the Department Chairs in whose areas
developmental courses are taught. The
report will use the assessment criteria and methodologies, which shall include
developmental to credit migration rates, Fall to Spring retention and course
completion rates. Faculty who teach developmental courses will use this report
to identify program strengths and weaknesses.
Data generated by
this report will provide the foundation for strategic and budget planning
activities in all academic areas that offer developmental education
opportunities to students.
In addition to
the outcomes report generated by the Office of Institutional Effectiveness,
faculty who teach developmental courses and the administrators who work with
them will also analyze the following data each Fall:
Demographics of students who do not succeed
Item analyses of departmental exit exams
Numbers of students registering for Developmental Math (MATD), Developmental Reading (DEVR), Developmental Writing (DEVW), and Developmental ESL (DESL) during the preceding year
Number of students registering for MATD, DEVR, DEVW, DESL courses by demographic characteristics (ethnicity, gender, age, zip code)
Grade distributions for students in MATD, DEVR, DEVW, and DESL
Grade distributions of students in MATD, DEVR, DEVW, and DESL courses by demographic characteristics (ethnicity, gender, age, zip code)
Student academic performance in subsequent college level course work
