A. Updates

Nedra shared with members the memo to Dr. Riley regarding the breakdown of numbers of students who took the Work Keys test, both for 2004 and for 2003 for comparison. The Graduating Student Survey is now available to students online, beginning with summer classes, and will provide immediate results. The Graduate Survey (different from the Graduating Student Survey) has been modified so that the questions are geared toward MCTC students. This survey is mailed to students with their diploma. It can be further modified if needed.

B. IE/OA Toolkit

Item #12 on the Course Outline Form (regarding Assessment and Grading) - emphasis on Gen. Ed. philosophy should be incorporated into this part of the course outline for all courses. Item #17 on the Course Outline Form (regarding Gen. Ed. core degree requirements) applies to courses not programs. Item #18 (regarding objectives and outcomes) refers to specific intended course outcomes and can include the traditional chapter/section breakdown. The role of the Assessment Committee members for the coming school year is to assist the divisions in the continued work on the completion of the Toolkit and to act as liaison for information from the Assessment Committee to the divisions, faculty in particular.

	C. Next Meeting:
	TBA during Fall in-service week.
