Discussion:
- Do student academic goals = learning?
- Student success is measured by academic achievement.This measures only part of the whole process.
- Students should have a voice in determining what constitutes success.
- Human connections lead to student success through relation/ sense of community.
- The decision of what we are trying to measure links to the issue of testing.
- No faculty chose to participate - how to make them passionate too.
- Why - other issues, different priorities.
- Student Learning Outcomes
- In Class
- Out-of-Class
- Personal Development
- FTSE constraint.
- Systems are often not based on learning.
- Mechanisms to measure preparedness - everyone learns at a different rate.
- Encourage more systemic collaboration.
- Learning should drive technology development.
- Connections may lead to academic success.
- What are we trying to measure?
- Number of 3.5 to 4.0 students?
- How students feel about accomplishments?
- Links to the question of whether we do away with testing?
