Program Review Update 2013-14English

(Report Due: October 15, 2014)

Program Description (source: Faculty)College of the Desert’s English program offers a wide range of courses meant to help students develop writing, research, problem-solving, and critical-thinking skills that are applicable across disciplines and the varied career paths that our diverse student body will pursue. Currently, there are over 100 sections of English offered each semester. General writing courses prepare students to write effective essays, conduct in-depth research on a myriad of topics, and use problem-solving and critical-thinking strategies in synthesizing and relaying information to specific audiences. These skills translate into use across the disciplines and career paths.

The English program offers a new AA-T degree in English in compliance with SB 1440, as well as courses leading to transfer to a four-year college. Students earning an AA-T degree in English are well prepared for a wide variety of career fields in the liberal arts. Students may also choose to continue their study in the discipline toward a bachelor’s degree. Transfer requirements at four-year colleges and universities tend to vary from institution to institution; students should consult with a counselor for specific information regarding the transfer requirements of their preferred college or university.

Students Served (source: Faculty) The English Program at College of the Desert serves diverse students from all across campus. With over 100 sections of English offered each semester, we serve approximately 6,000 students

a year in our program. Approximately 77% of entering students must take at least one course at the basic skills English

level before they are prepared for college-level composition. Our offerings in literature provide students with options for meeting various CSU and UC

transfer requirements, in addition to meeting the General Education requirements for obtaining an AA degree.

A new argumentation and literature class, English 002, was developed to complete our AA-T degree offerings. This course has received approval for COD General Ed, CSU transfer, and fulfillment of the critical thinking requirement, and was just approved for transfer credit for the UCs. IGETC approval is pending.

Course Level Assessment Completed (source: Faculty & OAC Coordinator)(See Appendix G of Academic PR)See last page for Course Level Assessment schedule

The Course Level Assessment Schedule originally attached is out of date. An updated schedule has been provide here.

Changes Implemented as a Result of the Assessments (source: Faculty utilizing OASR form)

OASRs were completed for the following courses in 2013-14:

ENG 10A80% of students achieved the expected outcome. Those who did not, likely did not read the texts assigned and/or missed class discussions.No change needed at this time.

ENG 10B87% of students achieved the expected outcome. Those who did not, likely did not read the texts assigned and/or missed class discussions. This score is higher than the expected outcomes. I attribute this data to the fact that, for many of these students, it is the second time taking a Literature Analysis course, and they are now practiced readers and thinkers.

Page 3: Program Review Update 2013-14 - College of the Web viewStudents Served (source: Faculty) The English Program at College of the Desert serves diverse students from all across campus

No change needed at this time.

ENG 005A & BStudents did as well as expected. Students completing creative writing portfolios demonstrated basic and adequate understanding and application of basic principles of poetry and prose writing, an understanding and expression of aesthetic values of beauty and truth, and an exploration of the human condition, as artistically depicted in their creative writing. The “workshop” format of the creative writing class, which allowed and required students to orally share with their peers their original creative works-in-progress every week during the semester, facilitated a creative and supportive community of writers that led to a high success rate of finished work. This broadened their understanding of the depth and value of aesthetic artistic expression, towards building an aesthetic contribution and discourse to the world around them.The only changes in curriculum that I am implementing for Fall 2014 is to update the creative writing rubric that I use to assess the creative writing portfolio.

ENG 032No gaps.No changed needed. Faculty is fully current with research in the field, and textbooks are the most current available.

ENG 03590% of students achieved the expected outcome. Those who did not, likely did not read the texts assigned and/or missed class discussions. I credit this success to the repetition of the class structure and the scaffolding approach of essays, assignments, oral presentations, and group activity.This class needs to be offered every semester, or nearly every semester, so that all students who transfer as Liberal Arts or English majors have the opportunity to complete this class in a timely manner before they transfer to university, where this knowledge is both expected and useful for upper-division classes.

Program Requirements from outside agencies (source: Faculty working with Dean)There is a discussion at the Chancellor’s Office that only one level below transfer should be offered for credit. If mandated, this would impact our offerings. We should discuss options for how we might approach this and take a proactive rather than reactive stance.

Student Success Data (source: Office of Institutional Research)

Narrative Interpretation (source: Faculty)Both our success and retention rates are down slightly. We do not know for certain why. However, increased course offerings sometimes means students are less likely to stay with a class and may drop more courses. Increased employment opportunities sometimes also drive students away from school. Our success and retention rates tend to be typical. We continue to look for ways to improve success and retention and would like to see an integrated Tutoring Academic Skills Center/Writing Center become part of the English program, rather than existing separately, as it does now. As student success services become more integrated, English would like to have a continued voice in how those services are provided.

Narrative Interpretation (source: Faculty)The English department continues to struggle with staffing. While one tenure-track faculty was hired in spring 2014, it corresponded with another retiring, so our number of full-time faculty remains unchanged.

The part-time faculty pool is depleted, and most part-time faculty cannot teach any overload, as they are already maxed out. It is crucial that we hire full-time English faculty, both in the short-term as temporary faculty and as tenure-track positions, so that we may continue to meet the needs of our students. We know students are bottlenecked in being able to complete their English courses, and as our offerings at other sites expand—we are planning to offer courses in the evening at Desert Hot Springs High School for the first time, as one example—our faculty, both full- and part-time, are stretched thin.

The full-time faculty list is misleading, as our two ESL faculty and one Reading faculty often teach English courses as overload, or, in rare cases, when a course in their primary discipline does not have sufficient enrollment and is cancelled. However, as more courses are offered across all disciplines,their ability to fill in with English courses will be limited. This will put us at an even greater deficit.

Facilities (source: Faculty)1) List of all facilities (Please indicate if any of these were added last year):Comm BuildingEVC CampusMecca-Thermal (inadequate technology for our needs)PSHS (inadequate facility for our needs)

2) Assessment of adequacy of current facilities:We love our new building! But it is already getting crowded, and we foresee having to again offer courses in other buildings on campus.

EVC/Indio:The spring semester in the new Indio building was a challenge for instructors, as the building was not adequately prepared to meet our technological needs. However, it seems as if those issues have been addressed.

Mecca-Thermal: When we are able to expand this campus, English will need to be well represented at this site. As above, we need to be included in facilities design discussions. This is crucial as our pedagogy is often impacted by inadequate or inappropriately-designed classroom spaces and available technology.

West Valley:The current facility at Palm Springs High School is inadequate for our needs in English. The instructor currently assigned to this site reports the following issues:

There are no computers for students The guest internet access is filtered, so instructional videos are often blocked for both students

(on their personal devices) and the instructor; the instructor must arrive early to implement a workaround and uses her own personal hotspot on her iPhone to bypass this system.

The classroom is cluttered and messy, and the computer cart is difficult to maneuver. Instructor reports that learning is hampered because of these issues. As she also teaches the

same course on the main campus this semester, she describes the experiences as “night and day.”

As we often develop our courses around access to technology, it is important that English faculty, that all faculty, be involved in the design process of any new facility to ensure it meets our needs. As the plans for West Valley evolve, I do hope faculty will be part of those design groups from the start to ensure that facilities are designed to meet faculty and student needs.

Page 7: Program Review Update 2013-14 - College of the Web viewStudents Served (source: Faculty) The English Program at College of the Desert serves diverse students from all across campus

Program Challenges (source: Faculty working with Dean) We continue to serve almost all COD students at some point in their career, but we are greatly

reliant upon adjunct faculty to meet the needs of this population. While many of our part-time colleagues are excellent, they cannot provide the input that a full-time faculty member can provide. As we have worked to integrate our reading and writing courses, we are again looking specifically for new faculty who can teach these courses, ideally with MQs in both English and Reading.

While we are thrilled with our new building, we are still understaffed in the area of technical support. With four dedicated computer classrooms, we are in need of a dedicated IT person to manage these spaces.

It remains a challenge for faculty to gather to discuss practices or to complete things like outcomes and assessment reports.

Report on completion of program objectives last year (objectives were specified on PRU two years ago) Other Program Accomplishments (source: Faculty)Completion of Program Objectives (last year)

1. No program objectives were developed two years ago.

Current Program Objectives (taken from last year’s PRU)1. Hire new English faculty members

While we were fortunate to hire one new full-time tenure-track faculty member, we are still woefully understaffed and hope to again hire two-three additional full-time, tenure-track English faculty for the 2015-16 school year, in addition to hiring several full-time temporary faculty for the 2015 semesters.

2. Create a “practicum” component for our writing courses that would allow students extended practice with oversight from the faculty member who is also teaching the writing class itself. This component would assume the responsibilities of assisting students with further development of their writing skills. We see the need for an integrated approach to overseeing student practice in writing as critical. A separate facility, like the TASC, cannot adequately meet our students’ needs any longer. In order for students to truly improve their writing, faculty must be the ones to guide their work at all stages of the process.

7 Program Review Update 2014

Page 8: Program Review Update 2013-14 - College of the Web viewStudents Served (source: Faculty) The English Program at College of the Desert serves diverse students from all across campus

While still an important objective, it is unlikely that this work will be completed this year. As most English faculty teach overload, there is minimal time to complete work such as this.

3. Create a handbook for each level of writing for adjunct faculty members.A thorough handbook exists for ENG 70 and 71. A smaller handbook has been created for ENG 1A, but it is in need of additional materials being contributed from all full-time faculty and experienced part-time faculty. As we develop the curriculum for ENG 002, a handbook will also need to be created. In addition, ENG 70 and 71 have a shared Blackboard site where all instructors can access and share teaching materials. This has been a very useful tool for us.

Program Objectives for next year (source: Faculty, working with Dean as needed)1. English faculty believe strongly in the idea of a Tutoring and Writing Center being created,

staffed, and supervised by English faculty. We would like this center to be house within the Communication Building.

The current model in courses like Math 40 where students take both a lab and lecture component with the same instructor is something we would like to pursue for English courses.

2. Faculty would like to expand student access to reading skills in the academic disciplines through continued collaboration with Reading faculty.

3. Faculty have been able to pursue a common final in our basic skills courses using BSI funding, but we would like to begin using a common final in our collegiate-level courses, as well, but faculty need compensation for the norming after the completion of final exam week. In addition, this process will better facilitate our assessment cycle and allow us to more regularly update our outcomes and assessments.

4. Faculty would like to secure funding for a “best practices” seminar where faculty, full and part time, share best practices for student engagement and success to then be included in a repository (handbooks, digital videos) for future faculty.

5. Faculty would like to have access/be shown the Communication and Humanities budget so as to better assess fiscal support for things such as a visiting author series, spoken word contests, film screenings/discussions, or other appropriate activities for the campus and community.

6. Continued development of a handbook for faculty. Materials were initially developed for ENG 70/71 and have been supported by BSI funding, but we would like to continue to add to these binders and develop binders for levels beyond basic skills.

In addition, this process will better facilitate our assessment cycle and allow us to more regularly update our outcomes and assessments.

Current CBA compensation

Est: 15 faculty x 3 hours x twice a year

$4680

2. Best PracticesReason: Faculty would like to secure funding for a “best practices” seminar where faculty, full and part time, share best practices for student engagement and success to then be included in a repository (handbooks, digital videos) for future faculty.

Current CBA compensation

Est: 15 faculty x 2 hours x twice a year

$3120 (est)

3. Faculty Handbook/ResourcesReason: Continued development of a handbook for faculty. Materials were initially developed for ENG 70/71 and have been supported by BSI funding, but we would like to continue to add to these binders and develop binders for levels beyond basic skills.

1. Bookstore resources at off-site locationsReason: Students at Mecca/Thermal are unable to access end-of-semester supplies. For example, faculty wanted students to complete their final exams in bluebooks but there was nowhere at Mecca for students to purchase. One semester the bookstore was kind enough to donate enough, but this is not a sustainable practice for regular need.
