Action Plans

THEA G100 cSLO 1 2015 - 2016 (Summer 2015)

As suggested by student comments on the assessment survey, students felt they would like more assigned reading of plays and perhaps an acting exercise in class.

THEA G100 cSLO 2 2013 - 2014 (Fall 2013)

As suggested by student comments on the assessment survey, students in two of the sections felt they needed more time to write down information presented on PowerPoints. Other than allowing more time to write, students felt there were little to no improvements required to improve the class. No substantial changes are planned as students successfully reached the expected student-learning outcome for this course.

THEA G100 cSLO 4 2014 - 2015 (Fall 2014)

As suggested by student comments on the assessment survey, students felt they would like more group presentations and play analysis. Other than that suggestion, no changes are planned as students successfully reached the expected student learning outcome for this course.

THEA G102 cSLO 1 2013 - 2014 (Fall 2013)

Even though most students successfully reached the expected student learning outcome for this course, the instructor plans to incorporate more elaborate, comprehensive power point presentations, and more readings into the course. Instructor is also altering the film selections to reflect more diversity, more female directors and more directors of color.

THEA G102 cSLO 3 2014 - 2015 (Fall 2014)

Even though most students successfully reached the expected student learning outcome for this course, the instructor will continue to incorporate more comprehensive power point presentations and readings and will continue to adjust the film selections to reflect more diversity and variety.

THEA G106 cSLO 1 2013 - 2014 (Fall 2013)

Students successfully reached the expected student learning outcome for this course. However, minor changes such as continuing to build the sense of community students repeatedly noted and liked in their surveys and the incorporation of more group scenes and more improvisation are being considered.

THEA G106 cSLO 3 2014 - 2015 (Fall 2014)

No changes are planned to this course as students successfully reached the expected student learning outcome for this course.

repeatedly noted and liked in their surveys and the incorporation of more group scenes and more improvisation are being considered.

THEA G108 cSLO 2 2014 - 2015 (Fall 2014)

As suggested by student comments on the assessment survey, instructor is considering adjusting the organization of the course information on Blackboard to make it easier for students to find information and submit their work. Additionally, instructor is considering adding pop-up reminders to assist students in meeting due dates for assignments. These changes should assist more students to reach the expected student learning outcome for this course. However, overall data demonstrates that the students who completed the survey successfully understood the historical, social, cultural, and aesthetic constructs that led to the development of Musical Theater as a significant art form at an acceptable level.

THEA G108 cSLO 3 2013 - 2014 (Fall 2013)

As suggested by student comments on the assessment survey, instructor is considering the following changes: 1. Set two deadlines for reviews instead of an end-of-the-semester deadline2. Add a “Shows to See” category link that covers musicals in the area3. Change point grading scale, 3 points per assignment seemed to make students think they could miss assignments and did not give enough flexibility in grading4. Lecture each week instead of in discussion page5. Place all info in one area only with links to homework, review, tests and discussions. These changes will allow students to reach the expected student learning outcome for this course.

THEA G112 cSLO 3 2013 - 2014 (Fall 2013)

As suggested by student comments on this assessment survey, I will spend more time reinforcing the requirement to read the assigned plays and slow down to allow more time for students to gather all the information on the presentations. No other changes are planned to this course as students successfully reached the expected student learning outcome for this course.

THEA G115 cSLO 1 2013 - 2014 (Fall 2013)



As the students are succeeding in the course SLOs this semester, next time the course is offered, the theater arts department will measure/assess the course in such a way as to assess competency in other specific areas of theatrical production on an individual basis for each student as requested by the student. However, no major changes are planned to this course.

THEA G175 cSLO 1 2013 - 2014 (Fall 2013)

Other than trying to incorporate new technical theater and scenic design technologies as they become available, no changes are planned as students successfully reached the expected student learning outcome for this course.

THEA G175 cSLO 2 2014 - 2015 (Fall 2014)

Students wanted more time to work in the scene shop. Other than trying to incorporate more work time in the scene shop both during and outside of class time, no changes are planned as students successfully reached the expected student learning outcome for this course.


Other than trying to incorporate new lighting technologies as they become available, no changes are planned as students successfully reached the expected student learning outcome for this course.

THEA G177 cSLO 2 2013 - 2014 (Fall 2013)


THEA G177 cSLO 4 2014 - 2015 (Fall 2014)

Student surveys overwhelming noted that the students wanted the class sessions to last longer. Current time blocks prevent that adjustment. Therefore, no changes are planned to this course as students successfully reached the expected student learning outcome.


No changes, these are excellent projects for the students.


The assignment of a written final examination and a self-developed movement scene became an important and valuable project that will continue to be a requirement in this Theater Arts course. The assignment required critical thinking, analysis and evaluation as well as physical realization of the principals and skills taught. Instructor developed this final after being disappointed in previous final assignments but found that this integrated final demonstrated actual knowledge acquired then implemented by the students.



THEA G206 cSLO 1 2013 - 2014 (Fall 2013)

Students successfully reached the expected student learning outcome for this course. However, minor changes such as continuing to build the sense of community students repeatedly noted and liked in their surveys and the incorporation of more group scenes and more improvisation at an advanced level are being considered.
