13. METHODS:
This course is offered as a lecture/discussion course, using other materials and techniques such
as films, videos, and Power Point slides, and fossil skull casts as appropriate. To facilitate
discussion the proposed class size is 25 students. The course is offered every fall and spring
semester.
Distance Education Setting: This course may be taught online using synchronous methods
based on the instructor. Techniques may include using D2L (BOLT) combined with zoom (i.e.,
whiteboard, chat, polling, yahoots, breakout rooms, U-tube videos, etc.). Discussions and
homework exercises will be posted via D2L. A computer (desktop, laptop, tablet, etc.), personal
smart phone, Microsoft Office (Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and Access) and reliable Internet are
required. Exams will be given via D2L.
14. COURSE ASSESSMENT:
The department collects departmental-developed rubrics and/or results on exam items
across all sections of the course, both distance and in-class learning each semester. The
Department will utilize a bank of questions that will serve to assess student learning
objectives through the strategy of embedded questions on exams (test blueprinting). The
question bank will be developed from contributions by department faculty members and will
be large enough for faculty to select questions that vary from individual to individual and
semester to semester, but at the same time test each of the four objectives in a reasonably
consistent measurable manner. Each student learning objective will have its own set of
9
questions. For each of the objectives, three to five embedded questions will be utilized on
exams throughout the semester to test overall knowledge acquisition. Embedded question
data is reported to the department outcomes assessment committee within 30 days of the
final day of the semester. The data for all sections will be statistically analyzed and
summarized into one data set for assessment purposes. The assessment data assists in
identifying changes needed to the course to ensure greater student attainment of the
Student Learning Objectives.
The assessment results will be utilized to assist our program outcomes and general education
goals as well as helping in long-term planning for curriculum and development. Data from
course assessment will be transmitted to the university Office of Planning and Assessment.
15. SUPPORTING MATERIALS- SAMPLE TEXTS (Recommended):
Supporting materials will depend on the topic being covered during a respective semester and
instructor.
Indicate possible recommended texts for the course where appropriate, including author/editor, title, publisher, edition, and
date of publication. The style of entry should consistently follow a manual such as Turabian, MLA, APA, or an accepted guide
in a specific discipline.
