37 Review Team: What recommendations do you have for this program?

  • See if NIC Institutional Research office can track History AA graduates
  • Explore establishing articulation agreements with four-year institutions
  • Clear dual credit pathway that includes how many students the program can support, how instructors will be evaluated, and professional development opportunities for DC adjunct instructors.
  • Dedicated dual credit instructor who manages DC adjunct faculty.
  • History socials explained in the program review may help to bolster enrollments, which will help with diversity in instruction and course offerings.
  • Clearer articulation of how the assessment metrics (assignments and such) correlate to the class and GEM learning outcomes. Students seem to like a very clear indication of how they are rewarded for their work and how their work is producing the result they need to demonstrate that they are being successful.
  • Perhaps make the prerequisites for HIST 290 recommended, as you did for the 100-level?
  • Some of your course-specific learning outcomes are really specific or a little confusing and they don’t particularly seem to match up to SBOE requirements or to learning outcomes expected at other 4-year institutions. I wonder if some could be tweaked (ex: understanding of how the behaviors of people reflect the options that a particular society allows for satisfying their basic physical and psychological needs as well as environmental and historical experiences)
  • Perusall – I’ve had significant improvement in student success and in student evaluations to the courses in which I’ve used Perusall, particularly my 100-level courses. This is less a program recommendation than a general curriculum/teaching recommendation.
