Faculty Assessment Leader: ReneeNewellFaculty Contributing to Assessment:Reviewer's Comments:

null.courseAction: It took 30% ofthe class multiple times to finallypass at 100%. Thoughreinforcement on safety is a dailyprocess, 100% compliance isdifficult. I will try more visual aidsto strengthen student memory(10/04/2015)Action Category: TeachingStrategies

Semester and Year Assessment Conducted: 2014-15(Spring 2015)Standard Met? : Standard MetSafety exam is given first day of class. It is reinforcedthroughout semester and given until passed at 100%. Allstudent met mastery level (10/04/2015)

Exam/Test/Quiz - Students will takea multiple choice written safetyexamination after an introductionand extensive review of personalprotective equipment, shop safetydangers and safe shop practices,proper use of hand tools, powertools, shop equipment and safetyrequirements for the course andshop lab exercises/work

ECC: WELD 10B:Intermediate Shielded Arc Metal Welding (SMAW)


SLO #1 - Welding students willproduce quality welds utilizingvarious welding techniques.




Standard and Target for Success: •1= Below Average

• 2 = Average• 3 = Above Average• 4 = ExcellentSince this is a intermediate class Iwould only expect 20% to obtain ascore of 4, 75% to score average orabove and 5% to be below average


null.courseAction: I believe theexpectation for 20% of the class toreceive an excellent rating isunrealistic for an intermediatecourse. I will adjust target forsuccess in next evaluation(10/04/2016)Action Category: SLO/PLOAssessment Process

Semester and Year Assessment Conducted: 2014-15(Spring 2015)Standard Met? : Standard Not MetAccording to AWS standards, no student obtained the andexcellent rating. 75% of the class did receive an averagerating (10/04/2015)

Performance - Using destructive andnon-destructive testing methods, apractical exam weldment will betested per AWS D1.1


ECC: WELD 10C:Advanced Certification and Career Preparation Lab


SLO #1 - Student will performdestructive test on a qualificationplate exam(guided bend tests).



Input Date: 08/19/2014Standard and Target for Success:This is a pass-fail outcome. Allstudents are expected to master theconcept. Some students willaccomplish the objective on the firsttry, others may require multipleattempts. This outcome isfoundational and required forstudents to progress in the course


null.courseAction: Some studentswere either not familiar or afraidof using the equipment withoutsupervision. I will try toincorporate more training on thetesting equipment to ensure allstudents feel comfortable inoperating this equipment(10/04/2016)Action Category: TeachingStrategies

Semester and Year Assessment Conducted: 2014-15(Spring 2015)Standard Met? : Standard MetOut of the 21 students, all were capable of performing test.There were 6 people that needed help from classmates buteventually performed task (10/04/2015)

Performance - Using shopequipment, coupon cutter, grinderand hydraulics test bender, studentwill perform guided bend test on 1"V-groove plate.


ECC: WELD 15 :Basic Weldng for Allied Fields


SLO #1 Welding Concepts - Studentswill be able to demonstrate basicknowledge of welding concepts.

Course SLO Assessment Cycle: 2014-15 (Summer 2015)



Standard and Target for Success:Students are able to pass the testwith an 90% or higher; level 4,mastery level. Minimum of 50% ofthe class should meet this level.Students are able to pass the testwith an 80% or higher; level 3,strong understanding. Minimum of70% of the class should meet thislevel or get a higher level.Students are able to pass the testwith an 70% or higher; level 2, basicunderstanding. Minimum of 80% ofthe class should meet this level orget a higher level.Students are unable to pass with a70% or higher; level 1, fell short ofunderstanding. Maximum of 20% ofthe class should be at this level.

Faculty Assessment Leader: ReneeNewellFaculty Contributing to Assessment:Renee NewellReviewer's Comments: The standardfor a strong understanding ofwelding concepts was exceeded,however, the mastery level fell shortof the 50% expected. I will try tofocus more on how the electricalpolarity effects the direction of heat.

null.courseAction: The disconnecton mastery level seemed to be onthe electrical conductivities effecton transference of heat. I will tryto focus on this discussion greaterin my lectures and try to develop alab demonstration that highlightsthis difference. (10/04/2015)Action Category: TeachingStrategies

Semester and Year Assessment Conducted: 2014-15(Summer 2015)Standard Met? : Standard Not MetOf the 21 people tested,7 appeared to have a mastery of the information, level 4,90% or higher.9 showed a strong understanding; level 3, 80% - 89%5 had an basic understanding; level 2, 70% - 79%none fell short of understanding; level 1, below 70%(10/04/2015)

Exam/Test/Quiz - A test with selectquestions on the effects ofoverheating, electrode angle, arclength, operating characteristics offlux covered electrodes was given.These particular questions werehighlighted to determine basicknowledge of weld concepts.

Faculty Assessment Leader: ReneeNewellFaculty Contributing to Assessment:Renee NewellReviewer's Comments:

null.courseAction: Suggest a timemanagement class to students,which could help the 13% notmeeting the minimum pass rate of70%. Also, introduce many AWScharts throughout myintermediate course to introducethe importance of the informationbefore they reach this advancecourse. (04/23/2016)

null.courseFollowUp: My averagestayed the same but I had fourstudents with learning disabilitiesthat skewed the results. I willcontinue to give pointers on timemanagement and multiple choicetest strategies (10/04/2015)

Action Category: TeachingStrategies

Semester and Year Assessment Conducted: 2013-14 (Fall2013)Standard Met? : Standard MetA timed test allowing 3 minutes for each multiple choicequestion. 87% of studentscould successfully locate and answer D1.1 Code bookquestions at the expectedpassing rate of 70%. 13% fell below the passing rate of70%. 10% of these studentswho did not meet the minimum pass rate for the LA Citywritten practice examwas due to nerves that result from a timed test,mathematical error in min/maxquestions, or difficulty picking out the subject of wordproblem. The remaining 3%did not invest enough time to mark their book orunderstand the utilization ofcharts to the question being asked. I now introduce manyAWS charts throughoutmy intermediate course to introduce the importance of theinformation before they reach this advance course.(02/27/2014)
