Math 112: 2019-2020
| Intended Outcomes | Means of Assessment | Criteria for Success | Summary & Analysis of Assessment Evidence | Use of Results |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SLO 1: Find the inverse of a given function. | Evaluation 1: Rubric based assessment of related common final exam problems | Eval 1: 70% of students learning at a rubric level of 2 or higher | 80.7% schoolwide performed at level 2 or higher. (351/435) Jefferson Campus Level 4 13/19 68.4% Level 3 0/19 0.0% Level 2 1/19 5.3% Level 1 5/19 26.3% Level 0 0/19 0.0% Shelby Campus Level 4 125/157 79.6% Level 3 14/157 8.9% Level 2 5/157 3.2% Level 1 11/157 7.0% Level 0 2/157 1.3% Clanton Campus Level 4 24/37 64.9% Level 3 2/37 5.4% Level 2 3/37 8.1% Level 1 8/37 21.6% Level 0 0/37 0.0% | Observations/Changes based on previous cycle (18-19): Continual monitoring of students’ performance on this objective to verify a possible correlation to the changes in the curriculum for the prerequisite course that may have produced less prepared students. Instructors also recognize the gap from the prerequisite course and will refer students to multiple tutoring services offered by the college. Observations/Changes based on current cycle (19-20): MTH 112 instructors will include corresponding homework problems as part of the students’ grade to encourage participation and additional practice to improve performance on finding the inverse of a function. |
| SLO 2: Use properties of exponents/logarithms to solve given problems. | Evaluation 2: Rubric based assessment of related common final exam problems | Eval 2: 70% of students learning at a rubric level of 2 or higher | 78.6% schoolwide performed at level 2 or higher. (342/435) Jefferson Campus Level 4 6/19 31.6% Level 3 1/19 5.3% Level 2 7/19 36.8% Level 1 4/19 21.1% Level 0 1/19 5.3% Shelby Campus Level 4 85/157 54.1% Level 3 17/157 10.8% Level 2 27/157 17.2% Level 1 26/157 16.6% Level 0 2/157 1.3% Clanton Campus Level 4 17/37 45.9% Level 3 0/37 0.0% Level 2 7/37 18.9% Level 1 13/37 35.1% Level 0 0/37 0.0% | Observations/Changes based on previous cycle (18-19): Instructors will continually monitor students’ performance on this objective to verify a possible correlation to the changes in the curriculum for the prerequisite course that may have produced less prepared students. Instructors will refer students to multiple tutoring services offered by the college. Observations/Changes based on current cycle (19-20): MTH 112 instructors will include corresponding homework problems as part of the students’ grade to encourage students’ participation and additional practice to improve performance when using properties of exponents/logarithms to solve problems. |
| SLO 3: Find the zeros of a polynomial function | Evaluation 3: Rubric based assessment of related common final exam problems | Eval 3: 70% of students learning at a rubric level of 2 or higher | 80.2% schoolwide performed at level 2 or higher.

Instructors will refer students to multiple tutoring services offered by the college. Observations/Changes based on current cycle (19-20): Instructors will include corresponding homework problems as part of the students’ grade to encourage participation and additional practice. |
| SLO 4: Graph transformations of basic functions. | Evaluation 4: Rubric based assessment of related common final exam problems | Eval 4: 70% of students learning at a rubric level of 2 or higher | 89.4% schoolwide performed at level 2 or higher.
