Good Morning Alma,
I reviewed the draft proposal for Paralegal Studies Program at LA Mission College and have a few questions/suggestions below. The charts in the Proposal about growth, successful course completion and student success will be helpful to the Committee’s deliberations.
Questions/suggestions:
* If the Distance Education Committee was formed after the Program was developed, how do they relate now? ANSWER:
* In D.4 there is discussion about a “plan” to start assessing SLOs—what and when would plan that be? ANSWER:
* Also for D: Evidence of Adequate Resources, it would be good to include an organizational chart, a budget and analysis of how the Program’s budget is integrated with the College budget;
* Standard 2.A needs more discussion about SLOs development and assessment for the Program;
* Standard 2.B states that “…this will require an expansion of services.” What does this mean? There is previous narrative that describes the online student services thoroughly; Perhaps some of the narrative can be moved or repeated as Standard II.B is addressed;
* Generally, if there is anything that can be explained clearly in the narrative, please do so and include documentation of evident in the appendix.
As per Dr. Barbara Beno’s September 24th memo to the field regarding the New Distance Education Requirements of the Higher Education Act of 2008, our member institutions must develop way to authenticate “…that the student who registers in a distance education course or program is the same student who participates in and completes the program and receives the academic credit;” Please include any progress toward this requirement.
Thank you, Alma. Would you like me to schedule LA Mission for the Februaury 20 or March 13 2009 Substantive change Committee meetings? Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have further questions.
Have a good week,
Susan
