SLO #2 Animation of Character -Students will be able to use the pose-to-pose technique to animate theircharacter in a manner thatdemonstrates the character’s typeand personality.

Course SLO Assessment Cycle: 2013-14 (Spring 2014), 2015-16 (Fall 2015)

Course SLO Status: Active

Input Date: 12/16/2013

Standard and Target for Success:Students will be assessed on threedifferent criteria from the class SLO.Results will be defined inpercentages. Student can receiveone of three assessments for eachcriteria: 1) They completely met thestandard (100%); 2) They adequatelymet the standard (70%); 3) They didnot meet the standard (0%). Basedon my recent semesters’ classresults, I would expect that 90% ofthe students will achieve an overallscore of 75% or better.

Faculty Assessment Leader: Joyce DallalFaculty Contributing to Assessment: David TurnerReviewer's Comments: needs future action date

Action: To improve student successpercentages, I will increase thenumber of intermediate milestonedeadlines during the production ofthe final project. I will also increasethe amount of time spent onrendering and post-production forthe final film. (09/09/2014)Action Category: TeachingStrategies

Here is a breakdown of the students individual assessmentscores (16 students total):10 students assessed at 100%4 students assessed at 70%2 students assessed at 0%

It should be noted that the students who received a 70%assessment score submitted their animations late and the 2students who received a 0% failed to present anything.

14 out of 16 students (87.5%) achieved a total assessmentscore of 70% or better, which is less than my expectation of90%. In order to improve the student success percentages, Iwill need to seek out a way to improve students’ timemanagement skills when it comes to meeting deadlines andcompleting projects.

Project - Assessment was conductedduring submission of the semester'sfinal project. The final project was ashort animation consisting of anoriginal, animated 3-D character. Theproject required that the studentsanimate their character in a way thatdemonstrates the character's typeand personality.

Action: Continue to improvestudents’ success rate in meetingdeadlines by increasing the amountof time that students will have tocomplete their final project.(12/12/2015)

Action Category: TeachingStrategiesAction: It cannot be understated justhow difficult and complex 3Dmodeling and animation is as asubject. One semester of instructionin 3D modeling and animation isinsufficient to become proficient inthe discipline. I believe that creatingintermediate and advanced levelcourses would allow the studentsadequate time and instruction todevelop their skills necessary to beviable candidates for entry-levelpositions in the industry.(12/12/2015)Action Category: CurriculumChangesAction: Raise percentage of studentswho completely meet standards 3dimensional animation skills.

core of students (good) whom enthusiastically take to thesubject matter and consistently perform well at absorbingthe material presented in class along with completingassignments on-time and to a high level of achievement.

Another factor which should be noted is that 3 students(out of 21) did not turn in the project. This criticalcomponent of the animation production process (meetingdeadlines) is one area in which I still need to improvestudent performance.

Also, many students only adequately met the standards ofassessment (24%). I will strive to increase the percentage ofstudents who completely meet the assessment standardsby pursuing more effective methods of teaching andintroducing the animation component of the curriculumearlier in the semester.

Here is a breakdown of the students individual assessmentscores (21 students total):11 students assessed at 100%7 students assessed at 70%3 students assessed at 30%

11 out of 21 students (57%) achieved a total assessmentscore of 75% or better, which is much less than myexpectation of 75%. By finding new, more effective ways inteaching 3-dimentional animation, as reflected in the courseSLO, I will strive to raise the student level of success.

SLO #2 Navigational Links - Studentswill be able to demonstrate ability tocreate navigational links, simpleJavaScript interactivity, and insertproperly formatted image andmultimedia files into a web page.

Course SLO Assessment Cycle: 2015-16 (Fall 2015)

Course SLO Status: Active

Input Date: 12/16/2013

Standard and Target for Success: Ijudged each student's success basedon this simple rubric: Completeunderstanding and execution ofstated skills would be consideredCompletely Satisfactory (3 points);Partial understanding and executionof stated skills would be consideredPartially Satisfactory (2-2.5 points);Very little or no understanding andexecution of stated skills would beconsidered Unsatisfactory (0-1points). My expectation for thisevaluation is that 75% of studentswould evaluate at CompletelySatisfactory, 20% would evaluate atPartially Satisfactory, and 5% wouldevaluate at Unsatisfactory.

Faculty Assessment Leader: Ron Romain

Action: To bring my CompletelySuccessful percentage up to 75% orhigher, I plan to do more breakoutdemos where I re-demo these skillsto the students who are strugglingwith them. (01/23/2016)Action Category: TeachingStrategies

Semester and Year Assessment Conducted: 2015-16 (Fall2015)Standard Met? : Standard Not MetOut of three points possible, the class average for thisevaluation was 2.78. Eleven students out of 16 (69%) wereCompletely Satisfactory in their understanding andexecution of the required skills. Five students out of 16(31%) were Partially Satisfactory in their understanding andexecution of the required skills. No students were evaluatedlower than Partially Satisfactory - although I did not includeone student in this data as he did not complete any workduring the semester.

These numbers are lower than I anticipated. This SLO has arange of skills from very simple, and often repeated duringthe course of semester, to a couple that require a deeperunderstanding of the media. To bring my CompletelySuccessful percentage up, I plan to do more breakoutdemos where I re-demo these skills to the students who arestruggling with them. (01/23/2016)

Project - Assessment is based on thefinal two projects of the semester.Successful completion of theseprojects will demonstrate students'proficiency in stated skills for thisSLO.

Action: Provide a prompt earlier inthe semester with narrowerguidelines and without an option ofchoosing the type of essay content.Also, practice essay structure in shortassignments or an in-class workshop(09/24/2016)Action Category: TeachingStrategies

Semester and Year Assessment Conducted: 2015-16 (Fall2015)Standard Met? : Standard MetForty-two students were enrolled in the course; thirty-eightparticipated in this assessment. The standard was met. 34students achieved 75% or higher. In fact, 17of those (half ofparticipants) achieved a 90% and above. Ten studentsachieved a score of 80% or higher, therefore scoring aboveaverage. Three were 75-79%. Six were in the 60-74% rangeand the other 5 did not participate. These 5 enrolledstudents did not submit papers, therefore received 0/Fgrade and/or received an “Incomplete” and were notconsidered as part of the assessment.

Overall, all of the students were successful in their ability tocomprehend and utilize the terms and concepts pertinentto visual literacy, one of the primary goals of an art historycourse. Most of the students scored above average due totheir ability to apply the terms and concepts and theirability to articulate the concepts in an effective manner. Ibelieve that those at the lower end of the spectrum did infact understand the concepts but had greater difficultyarticulating the information in an organized manner due toinexperience with formal or proper essay writing. Theassignment was comprehensive and required synthesis ofmany concepts into a singular framework. Though this dataindicates that students did meet the primary goals of theassessment, I think a narrower assessment focusing on onlyone of either the historical, contextual or iconographicalcomponents of an artwork would prove more successful.(02/24/2016)

Term/Research Paper - Studentswere given a choice to write anapproximately 5 page expositoryessay on either an example ofcontemporary or ancient work of artfrom India. The ancient option wasspecifically an artwork chosen fromthe Norton Simon Museum of Art.The purpose of the assignment is toanalyze a work of art in relation tothe icongraphical conceptsintroduced in the course.

N.B.: Typically it is a very small group of students who areenrolled in this advanced class, this semester had a total of6 students. Ordinarily these students are high achievers,and are well prepared for the challenges of this class.

A In this midterm appraisal, students on the wholedemonstrated a very strong competence with regards tothe three illustration skills assessed: ManipulatingAtmospherics, Combining Dynamics, and Maintaining Depthwith the attendant Analysis of the effectiveness of thevisual theatre.B Application and strategies for all three assessed skill-setswere competent or better. Two students had a hard timemaintaining depth with the use of high contrast elements inthe background.C The other two skill-sets: Manipulating Atmospherics andCombining Dynamics, showed very strong comprehensionand competence, and ALL students did very well in theiranalysis of the effectiveness of their strategies. TheDynamics category was especially strong.D The amount of time allotted the midterm was sufficientas all appraisals were turned in well within the (optionallyextended) time parameters. (11/04/2015)
