A pilot report was submitted for the AS General Studies program. 1999-00 Assessment data show that while the General Studies program met its standard in the general education communications and math and science components, there were procedural problems in assessing learning in the Native studies and social studies areas that prevented meaningful conclusions. Modifications to the assessment process will be instituted during 2000-01 so that those areas can be measured. It is a assurance that students have completed their general education requirements when they transfer to a participating four-year college or university. The agreement requires that students complete six semester hours of English composition, eight semester hours of natural science, eight semester hours of social science and eight semester hours of humanities.
Native studies objective.
There was no assessment data for the general education social studies objective. Native studies objective will be developed, approved by the assessment committee, and instituted for 2000-01. A new method of assessing the general education social science objective will be developed, approved by the assessment committee, and instituted for 2000-01. The General Studies Program Chair should consult with the assessment research committee to develop assessment methodology for the general education Native studies and social science objectives during August assessment week 2000.
