Meeting Minutes
1 March 2012
Elected Members Present: Patrick McGinty (Soc & Anthro, CGE Chair), Diana Allen (English & Journalism), Esteban Araya (Physics), Cheryl Bailey (Communication), Ginny Boynton (History, CGE Secretary), Jongnam Choi (Geography), Andrea Hyde (EIS), Zee Mutairi (SGA), Cynthia Struthers (IIRA), Pengqian Wang (Physics), Dean Zoerink (RPTA)
Ex-officio Members Present: Russ Morgan (University Dean抯 Council), Nancy Parsons (Provost抯 Office), Michelle Yager
Guest Present: Mark Mossman (English & Journalism)
Elected Member Not Present: Keith Holz (Art), Jess White (Soc & Anthro, CGE Vice Chair)
At 3:30 p.m. CGE Chairperson Patrick McGinty called the meeting to order in 60 Horrabin Hall on the Macomb campus, with a video-conference connection to Room 114 on the Quad Cities Campus.
Minutes and Reports
The Minutes for February 16, 2012 were amended to reflect the presence of Jongnam Choi at that meeting.
Motion: Diana Allen moved approval of the amended February 16 Minutes; Dean Zoerink seconded the motion. The Minutes were unanimously approved as amended.
Dr. McGinty informed the Council that Vice Chair Jess White was unable to attend because she was on her way to Jordan.
Dean Zoerink asked if the CAS Faculty Council抯 Essential Academic Skills Committee (EASC) survey would be distributed to faculty in other colleges who teach General Education courses. Mark Mossman and Russ Morgan explained that CGE was invited to send it out to all Gen Ed faculty, should it wish to, after CAS finishes surveying its own faculty.
Assoc. Provost Nancy Parsons reported that only fourteen departments had thus far submitted their Fall General Education Assessment Reports, which were due last Friday. She may send a reminder out within the next few weeks, if necessary. She also reported that a recent FYE Conference that she attended included a considerable amount of attention to concerns about students� reading abilities.
Assoc. Dean Russ Morgan reported that the CAS Faculty Council was currently conducting Focus Groups with CAS faculty participating in the EASC survey, which deals with writing, reading, critical analysis, and mathematical skills.
Michelle Yager reported that University Advising was coordinating with Magdelyn Helwig on the English Placement Exam giving during the Summer SOAR orientation program for incoming freshmen. University Advising would like to see 香蕉视频 move from a paper-and-pencil test to a computer-based exam, and to move from a creative writing model to a critical analysis model. She also suggested that the timing of this assessment be re-evaluated, and that all assessments (both writing and math placement) be administered early in the SOAR program, rather than after a celebratory evening. She is looking for faculty input on the issue to take back to the SOAR planning committee.
[Clarification from March 22, 2012 Minutes: 揇iana Allen commented that she appreciated University Advising抯 willingness to support using computers for the SOAR program抯 assessments of student writing, but that the prompts were not for 揷reative writing� assignments, as indicated on page 2 of the Minutes. She explained that the Writing Center solicits prompts from the university community, and most are for expository or persuasive writing; they are not looking for poetry or fiction (creative writing). She distributed examples of prompts from recent years. Michelle Yager explained that the reference to 揷reative writing� came from the information she had been given elsewhere.擼
The Council agreed to spend some time at its March 22 meeting brainstorming about possibilities for communicating the value of General Education to 香蕉视频抯 students.
General Education Feedback Loop
Dr. McGinty asked what the Council抯 plan was for closing the feedback loop in General Education assessment. Dr. Parsons pointed out that it did not need to involve curricular change � it could involve changes to procedures or processes, pedagogy, content of course, or specific teaching activities. The question the Council needs answered is how departments are using the data they are collecting. Ginny Boynton pointed out that in some cases, individual faculty use the data from their own classes to modify their own approaches to teaching those classes � it is not always a department-wide change that is involved.
Dr. Parsons reiterated that what CGE needs to know is if departments are collecting data in a way that has meaning for the department, and if so, what is the utility of the data. Dean Zoerink reported that RPTA Gen Ed faculty work together to use the assessment results from the Gen Ed course that RPTA teaches.
Dr. Parsons pointed out that assessment should help in the improvement of programs and student learning. The Spring/Summer reminder will include questions on the feedback loop, so the Council needs to make any changes in those questions soon. Mark Mossman observed that assessment needs to be meaningful to be useful. Ginny Boynton pointed out that when a department has multiple courses that have different goals assigned to different courses, as History does, it is hard for the department to make any sense of the data across the History curriculum.
Pat McGinty commented that not all departments are using data � and that not all know how to use the data in a way that is meaningful to their program. CGE needs to educate its colleagues and peers on this. Ginny Boynton suggested gathering ideas from departments, such as RPTA, that are using their Gen Ed Assessment data in meaningful ways, to share with other departments, as needed and desired.
Nancy Parsons suggested that we need to ask if departments are using the data, and if so, how they use it. If not, would they like suggestions on how to make use of it?
The Council briefly considered whether assessment data should be in some way tied to PAA points, but determined that this would be inappropriate for a variety of reasons.
Esteban Araya suggested that CGE ask departments: (1) to describe discussions that faculty have had about the methods and results of their assessment; (2) how many semesters of data the department has collected (information available from the Provost抯 Office); and (3) what trends in achieving General Education goals the department has found, based on the data. Pat McGinty suggested that #2 be changed to 揾ow many semesters� worth of data were a part of those discussions.�
Nancy Parsons suggested the following phrasing: 揂lthough changes may not be needed, if you have chosen to make revisions to your curriculum, has your General Education assessment led you to revise any process, methods, approaches, or content?� She suggested that we mull over the possibilities before the next CGE meeting.
Pat McGinty reiterated the need to remind departments soon to discuss their assessment results this semester, since they will be asked to report on those discussions in next Fall抯 Gen Ed Assessment Report.
Cindy Struthers pointed out that we need to let departments know that we are attending to this issue, since there was concern expressed at Faculty Senate about what is happening with all the Gen Ed Assessment data being collected. She suggested that Pat抯 letter to department chairs be revised slightly to indicate that Gen Ed assessment is under consideration and discussion within the Council on General Education. Ginny Boynton suggested that we remind them that we are 搕he Faculty Senate抯 Council on General Education,� since not all department chairs and assessment coordinators are going to know that we represent the faculty of 香蕉视频. Pat agreed that we need to acknowledge the concerns we have heard from departments.
Multicultural Form
The Council postponed discussion of the proposed changes to the Multicultural portion of the Gen Ed form until Jess White returns, as she was the one to raise the concerns.
The Council, having no further business before it, adjourned at 4:50 p.m.
CGE will next convene on Thursday, 22 March 2012.
Respectfully submitted,
Dr. Ginny Boynton, CGE Secretary
