HLC Assessment Academy Participation
In June 2014, Coconino Community College (CCC) joined the HLC Assessment Academy. The academy provides a structured, four‐year program to assist us in developing our efforts to assess student learning. We were assigned a Primary Mentor Kirstan Neukam and a HLC Scholar Susan Hatfield who provide feedback on our project updates and act as points of contact when we have questions. As part of the academy, we have access to a Collaboration Network of other institutions who either went through the academy or are currently going through the academy. During Year One, our team attended an Information and Planning Workshop which provided an in‐depth view on how the academy works as well as expectations and opportunities offered through participation. This team also attended an academy roundtable where the team began to build the academy project and goals. At Year Two, there is a midpoint report and roundtable, but our cohort was not required to participate in either. In Year Three, we had our mentor consultation with our assigned HLC Scholar at the HLC Conference. The consultation was attended by Colleen Carscallen, Interim Dean; Maxie Inigo, Math Faculty and Assessment Committee Chair; and Sarah Southwick, Assessment Coordinator. During this meeting, the CCC team shared what had been accomplished with the General Education Critical Thinking Project, the draft of the Institutional Learning Outcomes, and the forms and processes being developed by the Assessment Committee. Overall, the HLC Scholar stated that we are on the right track, but she emphasized that assessment without having clear outcomes that are understood by the faculty could not be used for program assessment. Additionally, we participated in the HLC Conference Poster Fair. We completed an assessment poster that depicts the process of creating a culture of assessment. Currently in Year Four, the Assessment Committee approved the formation of a subcommittee to attend
the Results Forum in June and create the final Assessment Academy Report. This subcommittee has
been formed and consists of Maxie Inigo, Math Faculty who attended the original Assessment Academy
Workshop; Aaron Rizzieri, Philosophy Faculty; Sarah Rencher, Computer Information Systems Faculty;
Colleen Carscallen, Associate Dean of Curriculum & Assessment who attended the original Assessment
Academy; and Sarah Southwick, Assessment, Program & Training Coordinator. This subcommittee has
met several times and has been actively working on writing the first half of the Impact Report.

HLC Assessment Academy 2017 Submission
In Fall 2017, the Assessment Coordinator submitted the Version 7.0 Project Update. The following is the
list of questions asked by the Assessment Academy and responses from the coordinator:
Q: What projects have you been following?
A: Truthfully, the Assessment Coordinator is unsure of which projects to follow and would serve as good
models for the CCC project. The University of Jamestown and the Eastern Oklahoma State College seem
to have completed similar projects, but we would love it if our liaisons had suggestions for us to review.
Q: Identify and explain any specific changes to your project scope or design since April 2017.
A: Our project scope has not changed. We gathered the spring assessment data through SurveyMonkey
and will use the data collected to inform the projects for the fall semester in which the faculty will
continue to submit a course‐level assessment report, but will also work together to define program‐level
performance indicators and a shared assessment tool.
Q: Since the last update, what were your goals for the past six months? Did you achieve them? Why or
why not?
A: Our goals from the last update were to:
1. Develop mechanisms within the LMS (Canvas) tool for class, course, and program‐level learning
outcome reporting.
a. STATUS – We have not completed this goal. Canvas rubrics can be used to collect
quantitative data, but without shared performance indicators for critical thinking, a
shared rubric cannot be developed at this time.
2. Develop a simple assessment reporting tool.
a. STATUS – In the spring semester, SurveyMonkey was used to collect qualitative and
quantitative assessment data. It was rolled out to both of FT and PT instructors (143
instructors in total) that were teaching courses that had an identified critical thinking
course‐level learning outcome. For the 2017 fall semester, this report has been built into
a Canvas shell in which all instructors are enrolled. Again, it asks for quantitative data in
regards to student learning about critical thinking and qualitative data about how each
instructor will use (or used) this inform to structure their students’ learning in this
course or a future course.
3. Develop program review document.
a. STATUS ‐ This has been developed and piloted. These first program review documents
were due September 15th. These five programs provided valuable feedback on the
program review document. The Assessment Committee has made some revisions to
this document based on the feedback.
4. Develop a process and tool to review program documents.
15 | Coconino Community College Fall 2017 Assessment Report
a. STATUS – The process has been developed and will be piloted this academic year. The
programs that completed their program review documents by September 15th will be
reviewed with a program review checklist and go through an evaluation process. The
program review documents will be reviewed by the dean, the Assessment Committee,
the Provost, and finally the Executive Council for budgetary and strategic planning
consideration. Each evaluation will have a feedback step back to the program.
5. Work on long‐term communication avenues through various webpages, the LMS, workshops, or
other communications not presently considered.
a. STATUS – This is in progress. A Canvas course has been developed to share information
about assessment results and to collect assessment data. In the 2017 fall, a Professional
Development Week occurred between the week the faculty came back on contract and
the week courses started. Several assessment workshops were offered. The ITS
Department has been transitioning the external website to a new software platform
over the summer. This should be completed by December. Once done, work on an
external assessment website will start.
6. Compare this year’s results to next year’s results.
a. STATUS ‐ While we have collected data from the 2016‐2017 academic year, we will not
be able to use it to compare to this year’s data on a program‐level. The main reason is
because there are not standard critical thinking performance indicators across the
General Education programs. The data we collected can be used to inform changes on a
course‐level learning basis and brought to light how much these standard performance
indicators and shared assessment tools are needed.
7. Use the data gathered last fall and this spring to evaluate the effectiveness of the General
Education Program level learning outcomes.
a. STATUS – This information is being gathered and used to continue to develop the
assessment of the General Education Program.
Q: How did you incorporate the feedback that you received on your previous postings in April 2017?
A: The feedback from April 2017 had excellent recommendations and concerns about our project:
1. If there is a collection of course‐based data over many different faculty, what happens if they all
have a very different definition of critical thinking, and thus score the students quite differently
on their assessment tools? How this data be reliably used to implement changes?
a. The faculty did have somewhat different definitions. This data will be used to
encourage the programs to develop standardized performance indicators for critical
thinking. There is an overarching definition of critical thinking which is, “Thinking Skills–
Using a variety of inquiry methods, resources, and reasoning skills that support and
promote lifelong learning.”
2. Will the different definitions identify the common threads to yield a definition of critical
thinking?
a. The different definitions will be used to identify common performance indicators. The
definitions that were shared will be used in the planned faculty conversations to
develop shared performance indicators and a shared assessment tool.
16 | Coconino Community College Fall 2017 Assessment Report
3. Remember, it isn’t just about collecting data, it’s collecting the right data. It is important to
collect smaller amounts of data that you truly value, conduct in‐depth analysis, and reflect on
how to make changes based on those analyses to improve student learning. Focus on what your
data collection is intended to prove? What is your sample?
a. We hope to focus our collection sampling. While we want to encourage our faculty to
submit course‐level assessment data to help them improve within their courses, we
want to have structured conversations with our faculty to help them identify key
courses to collect useful and informative program‐level assessment data with a shared
assessment tool.
4. You might want to facilitate a discussion during a faculty development day related to coming up
with a campus‐wide definition of critical thinking.
a. This was an excellent idea, but the fall in‐service day is designed and driven by the
President’s Office. The schedule had already been planned by the President at the point
this comment was received. Instead, the Assessment Coordinator and the new
Associated Director of Curriculum and Assessment will lead this conversation with the
individual programs in hopes to have a structured conversation with the same message.
5. Consider creating a rubric with a core set of performance indicators and allow faculty or
programs to add additional performance criteria as appropriate to their discipline.
a. The Assessment Coordinator and the Associate Director will be using this suggestion to
develop a shared rubric to present to the individual programs for consideration.
Q: What are your plans and goals for the next six months – up until February 2018? What challenges do
you anticipate?
A: There will be two parts to the plan for the 2017‐2018 academic year; there will be a course
assessment report which will submitted by all instructors teaching a Gen Ed course, and a program
assessment meeting project.
ALL Gen Ed instructors will submit a Course Assessment Report
Submit a Course Assessment Report for one of the instructor’s courses. The information for the report
will come from an assignment (essay, quiz/text, presentation/speech, skill checklist, lab report, etc. aka
“assessment tool”) that the instructor has already developed for the course.
This report will be available in Education and Learning Effectiveness Canvas Shell by the second week of
September. Otherwise, the instructor can turn a hard copy of this report into the Assessment
Coordinator.
The Course Assessment Report contains the following information:
General Education Block (English, Math, Arts & Humanities, Social & Behavioral Sciences,
Physical & Biological Sciences, or Options),
Term and Year,
Course Name,
Course CRN,
17 | Coconino Community College Fall 2017 Assessment Report
Course Learning Outcome: Write out the course learning outcome evaluated for this Course
Assessment Report (NOTE – It should be a course outcome in the syllabus and that contributes
to the General Education program‐level outcome of Critical Thinking.)
Assignment used (Submitted as an attachment)
Assessment results (# Meets, # Not Meets, #Did Not Complete Assignment),
The criteria used to determine how a student Meets versus Not Meets,
Analysis and Action Taken or Future Action Items (Write a two‐three sentence analysis of the
assessment results. List any actions taken to adjust student learning for the section, possible
changes to a future section if taught again, or explain why no action was necessary.)
PROGRAM ASSESSMENT PROJECT
Gen Ed Programs for program review and assessment purposes are the Gen Ed blocks: English (with
Intensive Writing), Math, Arts & Humanities, Social & Behavioral Sciences, Physical and Biological
Sciences, and Options.
For the fall, each program will meet to discuss the following items:
1. How students move through the Gen Ed block,
2. Create shared critical thinking definitions,
3. Identify key courses within the Gen Ed block that contribute to critical thinking,
4. And, create a shared assessment tool to measure critical thinking in the key courses.
The Assessment Coordinator will reach out to the program’s full‐time faculty to schedule a two‐hour
meeting with a representative from the Gen Ed Committee and the Assessment Coordinator. While
there is no budget to pay part‐time faculty to participate, they will be invited as their voices are valuable
in this process.
The goal will be to begin to use the new definitions of critical thinking and gather program‐level learning
outcomes data in the spring semester.

2017 HLC Assessment Academy Response
The HLC Mentors Kirstan Neukam and Susan Hatfield provided the response. The following are the
responses from the mentors:
What are some strengths of this project/Academy work? Why are these strengths?
Kirstan Neukam
It is great to hear that Coconino County Community College (CCC) held a Professional Development
week, where they offered several assessment workshops. It is important to continue to expand and
develop your faculty and staff’s understanding of assessment.
I was also pleased to hear that SCCC has begun the process pilot testing their program review
template. Five of their programs completed the template and provided useful information
regarding how the form and process could be improved. This fall they will begin pilot testing their
overall program review process and how it will be reviewed and evaluated. They have built in a
feedback step within this process as well.
Susan Hatfield
In addition, CCC has attended carefully to the feedback provided and has an exceptionally well‐
managed project.
What remains unclear or what questions do you still have about this work to assess and improve student learning?
Kirstan Neukam
It was mentioned that you were unable to compare assessment data given the lack of agreement
and use of common definitions of critical thinking. It was also mentioned that you are continuing to
assess general education outcomes and its use to improve the general education program.
I am not sure how you were unable to compare the critical thinking outcome across programs, but
you were able to use this information within the General Education outcome/program process.....
Were you able to get the general education staff to agree upon a common definition and
assessment tool to use within the general education curriculum? From what I saw on your website,
you general education outcomes are as follows:
Communication Skills
Plan, construct, and present logical, coherent, well‐supported arguments with
consideration of target audience
Communicate clearly and effectively, orally and in writing, at a college‐level
19 | Coconino Community College Fall 2017 Assessment Report
What remains unclear or what questions do you still have about this work to assess and improve student learning?
Demonstrate listening and comprehension skills for effective communications
Use appropriate technology for communication and information gathering
Thinking Skills
Formulate vital questions and problems in a clear and precise manner
Gather, assess, and interpret information within a theoretical framework
Develop well‐reasoned conclusions and solutions to problems
Recognize and assess the assumptions, implications, and consequences of various
theoretical frameworks
Diversity and Global Awareness
Analyze the complexity of humanity and its significance for the individual and for society
Describe the interaction between individuals, their culture, and the physical environment
Evaluate the continuity of events/issues over time
Ethical and Civil Values
Recognize the consequences and significance of one’s actions
Understand social values and the implications of those values
Given these outcomes, are your faculty defining and using the similar assessment tools/measures in
which to assess student learning in these areas? If they are not, it will always be impossible to
compare the information gathered to assess your overall general education program beyond
individual courses.
I only ask these types of questions to help guide you in the understanding that it is not how much
information you collect with regard to student learning, but rather collecting the right kind of
information that can be used in the efforts to improve student learning on your campus. Thus,
having an automated collection system within the CANVAS shell is less of a priority than getting
agreement among the faculty regarding the actual outcomes, how they are defined, how and
where they will be measured. It’s only when that aspect occurs will you create an assessment
system in which the data is actually being used for something other than creating a report.
Susan Hatfield
Kirstan's point is well taken (as usual). Gen Ed assessment comes down to being able to aggregate
data across the outcome ‐‐ though as you refine your processes, you might want to consider what
data (from which courses) you want to aggregate in order to address the issue of whether or not
students have achieved the General Education outcome.
20 | Coconino Community College Fall 2017 Assessment Report
What are some critical things to which the institution should pay attention as it plans its work for the next six months?
Kirstan Neukam
As I mentioned in my last posting, I understand the sense of urgency that CCC must be experiencing
after their feedback regarding their assurance argument; but be careful not to rush to implement a
lot of assessment collection process across their campus just to have a lot of data. Having
measurable assessment data is only valuable if you can actually use it to make changes to student
learning. Technology will only help you collect large amounts of data; however, it will not allow you
to understand if your students are learning and if not, what changes need to be made in the course,
curriculum, and/or college. Additionally, it is more important to collect smaller amounts of data
that you truly value, conduct in‐depth analyses, and to reflect on how to make changes based on
those analyses to improve student learning. Otherwise, you will have a lot of wonderful charts,
graphs, and trend lines that really don’t lead to significant and meaningful improvements of
student learning on your campus.
I also noticed that your assessment report template that you’ve created for general education as
listed the assessment results as the following: # meets, # not meets, and # did not complete the
assignment. From a statistical point of view, this scaling is the same as a yes/no question. It also
mentioned to list what assignment was used; however, it did not mention what assessment tool
was used that would be commonly shared between various courses to ensure that everyone is
evaluating the outcome in a similar fashion. Thus, are they using a shared rubrics, common exam
questions, etc? It appears that an assessment under this framework would be mainly just a course
grade on an assignment rather than a program outcome which could then be compared across
courses and academic levels. This is not to say that an assignment used for a course grade cannot
be used for a program outcome as well, I am just unclear as to how they are different and again
transferable beyond that individual course.

It appears what you are doing now is building infrastructure ‐‐ that makes sense for this stage of
the process. In order to actually answer your question (which I assume is "To what degree have
CCC students achieved the general education outcomes?"), you will probably want to identify
specific courses where you have the best chance of answering that question. You probably would
not, for instance, want to use assessment date from an assignment required relatively early in
a course taken primarily by first semester students. It may also make sense to consider some
specific requirements for the assignments from which data is being reported ‐‐ there is a lot of
information available on "Signature Assignments."
Even though Kirstan and I have identified some specific questions, that in no way takes away from
the fact that you are building an infrastructure and making progress! I think we both want to
caution you that you may be exerting energy in a few directions that may ultimately prove to not
be terribly useful in understanding and improving student learning. Your plans for the next six
months should address many of our questions.

Quality Initiative
The Quality Initiative was presented to the Assessment Committee by the Provost during Fall 2017. The
committee was asked to provide feedback and input as it is the committee that will be in charge of
completing the work proposed within the Initiative proposal. The creation of the proposal was a
collaboration between the Provost, the Associate Dean of Curriculum & Assessment and the
Assessment, Program, and Training Coordinator. It was vetted college‐wide and then submitted on
December 14, 2017.
The overall intent of the proposal is to continue on the work in assessment that was begun during the
college’s participation in the Assessment Academy. Overall, the initiative will continue to build solid and
sustainable program‐level assessment within Academic Affairs. This sustainable process will be
supported by policies, procedures, committees and so ingrained as part of the culture that it is not
dependent upon a singular position or entity within the college. In order to achieve this, the
deliverables, evaluation, and reportables for this initiative were developed to be ongoing support tools
that will exist beyond the final report. The college is committed substantial resources to the Quality
Initiative by hiring positions dedicated to the continual improvement of assessment and assessment
processed and providing for the training of lead faculty who will be required to provide assessment
workshops to the rest of the faculty.

Overview of the Quality Initiative
1. Provide a title and brief description of the Quality Initiative. Explain whether the initiative will begin and be completed during the Quality Initiative period or if it is part of work already in progress or will achieve a key milestone in the work of a longer initiative.
29 | Coconino Community College Fall 2017 Assessment Report
Title: Building solid and sustainable program-level assessment in Academic Affairs The goal of the Quality Initiative is to develop a more effective and systematic process to analyze student learning and how we measure institutional effectiveness in order to continuously improve learning. We plan to achieve this goal by improving program-level learning outcome assessment processes. Coconino Community College (CCC), had programs in the past that effectively engaged in program-level assessment, however a few programs assessed learning outcomes at the course level. Our aim is to effectively evaluate and build program-level assessment processes in all programs across the College by having each program area develop outcomes and assessment tools that evaluate student learning. Effective assessment at the program level will help us determine if the program’s curriculum of required courses, course-level learning outcomes, and teaching methodologies achieve the stated learning outcomes for our graduates. For nearly 20 years, a debate has revolved around what learning assessment is and means to CCC. This debate has shown that assessment means different things in different courses and in different areas of study on campus. We have confidence in multiple methods of assessment, but believe they are best unified in assessments developed at the program level. Developing strong program-level assessment mechanisms is the key ingredient to improving programs across the College. By engaging faculty in each phase of creating and implementing the process, we hope to create a shared culture of assessment, make the process meaningful for each program, and close the loop by using relevant data to inform program and institutional improvements. While CCC has been engaged in learning outcomes assessment since 1991, these efforts were often focused individually by discipline and not by program. The processes used were not sustainable through organizational changes, and many faculty felt that data collection did not provide valuable information for improving teaching and learning and some felt it was done solely for administrators and/or accreditation. Between 2011 and 2015 program-level assessment data in some areas was not gathered or provided. We have since created new systems for program-level assessment, collected data on the General Education Thinking Skills outcome, and implemented the phases of a new assessment process with our Career and Technical Education programs. With this initiative, we plan to launch all phases of the assessment process with all programs, provide training and learning opportunities, and evaluate and document the results of our efforts through program reviews and annual reports. Sufficiency of the Initiative’s Scope and Significance
2. Explain why the proposed initiative is relevant and significant for the institution.
This proposed initiative is relevant and significant for CCC because it aligns with the Mission, goals and Strategic Plan of the College. The initiative also supports efforts at renewing program-level assessment launched with our participation in the Higher Learning Commission (HLC) Assessment Academy and informed by the HLC Final Report from the College’s 2016 Assurance Argument. The Mission of CCC is “As a learning-centered college, we enrich lives by embracing diversity and transforming the future through quality education.” This Quality Initiative supports our mission since the ultimate goal is to improve student learning by improving the quality of our education. The
30 | Coconino Community College Fall 2017 Assessment Report
assessment tools we develop and the processes and evaluations we set in motion focus on student learning at the program level and will inform us as to the improvements we need to make. In addition, the initiative is learning-centered through its focus on making the assessment process and the value of assessment a learning process for faculty and staff. Conducting meaningful assessment is a priority for CCC. The College’s District Governing Board included “Champion and Assess Student Success” as the first priority in their 2016-2017 goals, and the accompanying President and Administrative Goals supporting this priority were:
a. Complete the development and carry out the implementation of an Assessment Plan- use assessment to improve learning and learning environment
b. Continue refining the Program Review process and begin review of non-instructional programs.
These priorities are reflected in the College’s 2016-2020 Strategic Plan, and reflected in the following goals:
• Goal 2: CCC will promote a learner-centered environment that incorporates innovative strategies and support structures intended to reduce student attrition and increase retention
• Goal 3: CCC Will empower students to achieve their individual learning goals and implement strategies to increase certificates and degree completion rates.
For the 2017-2018 academic year, the District Governing Board’s first priority was “To ensure quality learning opportunities for students.” The President and Administration goal to support this goal was “1d. Assessment of learning and program review data will be analyzed for improvement.” The desire to make learning outcomes assessment meaningful at the program level is a key component of our efforts. We had experienced a lapse in program-level assessment and in gathering assessment data for several years, which was noted by the HLC reviewers in their response to our Assurance Argument in the summer of 2016. We had already begun to re-launch assessment through our participation in the HLC Assessment Academy, which began in the spring/summer of 2014. Over the last year, we have gained ground in course level assessment and have developed and tested program-level assessment processes based on best practices. This initiative proposes to expand these program-level assessment processes to all programs. Through participation in the process from revising program-level learning outcomes to making programmatic and institutional changes based on assessment data, faculty will find the assessment process meaningful and will then be able to explain the value to others, including students and the general public.
3. Explain the intended impact of the initiative on the institution and its academic quality.
The purpose and intent of the quality initiative is to improve student learning through informed and sustainable assessment processes. We expect that the initiative will have the following impacts:
• A successful launch of a program-level assessment process that is sustainable and meaningful. • Improved academic quality through changes made to programs based on assessment data.
31 | Coconino Community College Fall 2017 Assessment Report
• Increased faculty understanding of what is taught in the classroom and how the methods used connect with program-level learning and program-level assessment.
• Increased faculty ownership of program-level learning outcomes and the tools created to assess program-level learning outcomes.
• A culture of assessment throughout the College that is supportive, learning-focused, and inclusive.
• A process to use student learning assessment data to drive institutional changes. • A critical analysis of learning outcomes assessment that will enable us to answer the four
critical questions of: o What are we doing? o What worked? o What did not work? o What did we do to make changes in order to improve what did not work in the
classroom? Clarity of the Initiative’s Purpose
4. Describe the purposes and goals for the initiative.
Our desire is to improve academic quality at CCC. While we are currently using assessment to improve education within the classroom, we do not necessarily use that knowledge to inform improvements beyond those individual courses. At this point in our College’s evolution, it has become imperative to begin to use student learning assessment data as the foundation to inform quality improvements across the institution. In order to accomplish the goal of using student learning assessment data to inform institutional decisions, assessment must move from course-level assessment to program-level assessment and then be reported and shared through regular program reviews and annual reporting. The faculty are vital to creating relevant program-level assessment as they are the source of knowledge and the experts on how the College’s students are performing in the classroom as well as on a program level. The program faculty will be involved in discussions to determine the best courses in which to conduct program-level assessment, creating shared program-level assessment tools, and reporting the program-level assessment data to the assessment team (which currently consists of an Assessment Coordinator and an Associate Dean of Curriculum and Assessment). During the 2018 Spring semester, the program faculty will review the program-level assessment data and any previously established goals. At this time, the program faculty will document any progress made on previous goals and identify any modifications or new goals that need to be added based on the program-level assessment data. This documentation and goal establishment will be reviewed by the appropriate Dean of Learning, the Assessment Committee, the Provost, and Executive Council (the President’s leadership team). The intention of the review process is to ensure the assessment data is shared across the College, used to inform budget allocations, to inform strategic goal planning, and to begin to “close the loop” with improvements.
32 | Coconino Community College Fall 2017 Assessment Report
In addition to reestablishing ongoing and thorough program review, this initiative is the reinstatement of the College’s assessment cycle to make it focused on improvement not only in our courses, but in our programs, and as the driver of institutional change. 5.

Evidence of Commitment to and Capacity for Accomplishing the Initiative
7. Describe the level of support for the initiative by internal or external stakeholders.
CCC is committed to generating a sound evaluation of our assessment practices. To accomplish this, the College’s District Governing Board, the office of the President, the Chief Financial Officer, and the Provost’s office will ensure resources are committed to this initiative. The Assessment team, Dean of Learning Arts and Sciences, Dean of Learning Career and Technical Education, faculty, and the Assessment Committee will work to complete this project and develop a quality undertaking. Students will help shape the process by participating in graduate surveys and focus groups that will give valuable perspectives on program-level learning. The College has demonstrated a renewed focus on program-level assessment through participation in the Higher Learning Commission’s Assessment Academy, beginning in the Spring of 2014. This initiative has the support of faculty, Institutional Research, and all of Academic Affairs including the Provost. The focus of CCC’s Assessment Academy project was to create sustainable program-assessment processes by targeting General Education Critical Thinking outcomes. The project supported a General Education Committee project to create a culture of critical thinking throughout the College. One important outcome of our participation in the Assessment Academy was the creation of the faculty-led Assessment Committee that now plays a key role in program-level assessment and program reviews. The College committed resources to ensuring that our assessment efforts are successful through the creation of a Training, Development, and Assessment Coordinator position in Fiscal Year (FY) 2017, and the creation of the Associate Dean of Curriculum and Assessment position in FY 2018.

8. Identify the groups and individuals that will lead or be directly involved in implementing the initiative.
The initiative will be led by the Assessment Coordinator, the Associate Dean for Curriculum and Assessment, the Assessment Committee, and the Provost. Faculty from across the College will be involved in implementing the initiative. The Assessment Coordinator’s role in this initiative includes coordinating planning meetings with faculty groups throughout all phases of the initiative and providing information and coaching through each phase. Together the Associate Dean and the Assessment Coordinator compile the comprehensive yearly Assessment Report and draft the bi-annual assessment report. In addition, the Coordinator will play an integral role in creating the upcoming Assessment Academy Impact Report, the HLC Interim Monitoring Report, and the final Quality Initiative Report. The Assessment Coordinator, along with The Associate Dean and the Curriculum Committee representatives, will create the Program Assessment Planning Guide. In addition to the responsibilities previously mentioned, the Associate Dean ensures communication and coordination of efforts between the Assessment Committee, the General Education Committee, and the Curriculum Committee. In this initiative, the Associate Dean will also provide information and coaching through each phase. The Assessment Committee’s role in this initiative includes evaluating program reviews, data gathered from program-level assessment, and program-level assessment instruments, including learning outcomes curriculum maps, performance measures, and the shared assessment tools used to assess programs. The committee offers suggestions and guidance to the program faculty, acts as a resource for faculty regarding assessment questions, and members of the Assessment Committee will conduct assessment workshops. As the Chief Academic Officer, the Provost oversees the scope and implementation of this initiative and ensures that the resources needed to complete this initiative are allocated. Faculty in all program areas create performance measures, program assessment tools, maps, and reports. They conduct program-level assessment, evaluate data, and make plans for improvement based on that data. Students’ voices are an important part of program-level assessment. We will gather indirect assessment of student learning, as well as assessment of students’ program experiences, through graduation surveys and focus groups.
9. List the human, financial, technological and other resources that the institution has committed to this initiative.
Human Resources: The Assessment team consists of the Assessment Coordinator; Associate Dean of Curriculum and Assessment; the Assessment Committee, which is composed of six faculty, a representative from the Business Council, and two representatives from the Student Development Council; two Deans of Learning, who will champion the proposed plan and act as knowledgeable

46 | Coconino Community College Fall 2017 Assessment Report
Audience: Peer Reviewers Process: Open Pathway Quality Initiative Proposal Form Contact: 800.621.7440 Published: 2015 © Higher Learning Commission Page 5
• Reasonable implementation plan for the time period
Finding:
The Quality Initiative proposal demonstrates an appropriate timeline.
The Quality Initiative proposal does not demonstrate an appropriate timeline.
Rationale and Comments:
The timeline appears to be reasonable and appropriate.
5. General Observations and Recommended Modifications: (Panel members may provide considerations and suggested modifications that the institution should note related to its proposed Quality Initiative.)
One observation is the reliance on faculty for implementing program assessment. Implementation might be benefitted from providing training of faculty on program assessment, particularly in regards to part time or adjunct faculty who might have higher turnover rates.
6. Conclusion:
Approve the proposed Quality Initiative with or without recommended minor modifications. No further review required.
Request resubmission of the proposed Quality Initiative
Rationale and Expectations if Requesting Resubmission
The reviewers find that this is a significant initiative that has been planned by the institution. The support of faculty is critical in this initiative. Conveying the importance of program evaluation as an additional task to course and disciplinary assessment activities will be critical for successful implementation.
Timeline and Process for Resubmission (the Commission staff will add this section if the recommendation is for resubmission)

Fall 2017 Program Review Update
Originally five programs were supposed to submit program review documents in Spring 2016: Math,
English, Anthropology, Geology, and Information Technology Services (ITS). These program review
documents were reviewed by the appropriate dean or reporting supervisor before being reviewed by
the Assessment Committee which divided into smaller groups in order to have two or three people
review each program review document with the “Program Review Checklist.” These checklists and any
comments on the program review document were provided back to the originating program and the
appropriate dean or supervisor. The programs were then given time to make revisions, if desired, based
on the feedback. A final copy from the program was submitted to the Provost for review. Only four
submitted their final reports as Geology was incorporated into the Physical & Biological Sciences
program review that began Fall 2017. The Provost then submitted the program review documents to
the Executive Council for evaluation.
There are currently five academic programs writing their program review documents this year. They are
Fine Arts, Hotel & Restaurant Management, Nursing, Physical & Biological Sciences, and Social &
Behavioral Sciences.
The Fine Arts program review document was completed by the beginning of the spring semester. The
Social & Behavioral Sciences and Physical & Biological Sciences programs are actively working on their
document into spring. The Hotel & Restaurant Management program does not currently have any full‐
time faculty that guide it. The CTE Dean is working with the part‐time faculty to see if they could work
over the summer to write the document.
There are two non‐academic programs writing their program review documents this year. They are the
Business Office, which encompasses the Finance Department and the Purchasing Department, and the
Student Development’s Advising Department.
Both of the non‐academic program reviews have been writing their documents without any input from
the Assessment Coordinator. Each program was given the ITS 2016‐2017 program review document as
an example. Both programs have requested having until June 30, 2018 to submit their reports.
Changes to the original Program Review timeline
There have been a few adjustments made to the original program review process timeline. Originally,
the Assessment Committee had thought to implement a yearly assessment check‐in beginning in the
year following the program review document being written. After experiencing exactly how long the
review process for the program reviews actually is, the Assessment Committee decided that bi‐annual
reviews would work better and allow for a year of gathering assessment data and an evaluation period
to make changes.

Course Assessment Reporting
The College is accredited through the Higher Learning Commission (HLC), and to maintain accreditation, the College adheres to various criteria for accreditation and core components. Criterion Four Teaching and Learning: Evaluation and Improvement directly applies to our assessment program and reporting. The criterion states, "The institution demonstrates responsibility for the quality of its educational programs, learning environments, and support services, and it evaluates their effectiveness for student learning through processes designed to promote continuous improvement."
As part of the "continuous improvement," the College asks the faculty who are teaching a General Education course during each semester to complete a course assessment report. For one class that instructor is teaching (regardless of how many classes the instructor has), the instructor should assess a course outcome in the syllabus and submit a Course Report on the results. It is preferable the instructor submits a Course Assessment report on a class the instructor plans to teach again in a future semester.
The intention of this report is to help the faculty answer the question, "How do I know the required learning has taken place?" The instructor can report on any course‐level tool used to measure the course outcome of the instructor’s choice: homework, quizzes, prelims and exams, reports and term papers, research projects, case study analysis, or other tools used and the instructor would like to report on.
This report is for the faculty to help provide documentation as they continuously work to improve. It should focus on informing their pedagogical processes. Examples of changes that could come from this process include revising course content in terms of breadth and depth, realignment of objectives and teaching methods, employment of more appropriate assessment methods, or effective incorporation of technology.
The goal of the Assessment Team is to create an aggregate report of results to share with faculty at the beginning of the following year, and maintain an electronic record of the individual faculty results for referral purposes as he or she grows as an instructor.
The reporting form is in the Education and Learning Effectiveness (ELE) Canvas shell under “quizzes” and
is maintained by the Assessment Coordinator.
The Course Assessment Report reporting form requires the following information:
General Education Block (English, Math, Arts & Humanities, Social & Behavioral Sciences,
Physical & Biological Sciences, or Options),
Term and Year,
Course Information (Subject‐Number‐Section) and current CRN,
Course Learning Outcome ‐‐‐ Write out the course learning outcome evaluated for this Course
Assessment Report (NOTE – It should be course outcome in your syllabus that contributes to the
General Education program‐level outcome of “Critical Thinking”),
Assignment used (Submitted as an attachment),
Assessment results (# Meets, #Not Meets, #Did Not Complete Assignment),
The criteria used in the assignment to determine whether or not a student met the course
outcome.
63 | Coconino Community College Fall 2017 Assessment Report
Descriptions and justifications for any actions taken to adjust student learning for the class,
future changes if taught again, or explain why no action was necessary.
These reporting forms are supposed to be submitted along with the students’ grades. Out of the 100
reports that were expected, 67 were collected.

A&H COURSE CHANGES
ART 100 I think that the students completed this project admirably well and, at this time, I don’t think any changes are necessary. No action was necessary because all students who engaged in completing the project understood and carried out the assignment specifications.
ENG 238 Although at first glance it seems my students did well, this was a high‐achieving class. Based on the depth of analysis I had seen in discussions, I expected more students to exceed the minimum expectations. The next time I teach the course, I plan to tie practice analyses (through discussions) back to the directions, make samples easily clickable from the essay directions, focus on the structure of analysis in the peer workshop, and ensure my directions are clear.
HUM 205 No action is necessary because the teaching methodology is time tested
JPN 101 Students were given 3 tries to realize their mistakes and correct them on their own. Thinking critically to make the corrections on their own was a beneficial learning approach for the students who completed the assignment.
MUS 100 Reflecting back on this assessment/assignment and the last two semesters I have had my students do this critical thinking assignment, I have been impressed by how sincerely and thoughtfully the students have approached this assignment. In light of how the assignment pushes them to focus and think intently on pieces and utilize the listening and critical thinking skills we have worked on throughout the semester, I am hoping to develop similar assignments (not used for this assessment) that push the students to listen and critically evaluate music. I hope to make this assignment (in varied forms) a tool I utilize more than once a semester.
MUS 207 I did change a few things for this semester. I used to require 3 papers and 6 quizzes, but this semester I changed it to 2 papers and 8 quizzes. I also gave them an option to substitute an oral presentation for a paper, if they wished. I hoped to increase student involvement in the class. The more frequent quizzes help me to better assess progress and give the students more leeway to do well even if they have an off day. Furthermore, for a music class, I felt that
68 | Coconino Community College Fall 2017 Assessment Report
more listening quizzes and questions about those examples better reflect what we're trying to learn. The papers give them a chance to delve deeper into and do some critical thinking about a particular topic. Still, I don't want MUS 207 to be a writing class, so I wanted to lessen the emphasis on writing assignments. I also increased the percentage of the quizzes to 30% of their grade and reduced the papers to 20% (instead of vice versa, as in previous semesters). Another change I made this semester was to give the students a study guide for their final exam. I had not done this for past semesters, and felt that perhaps I was being unclear about what they should expect on their final exam. Having graded their final exams, I think this was helpful to many students.
PHI 101 I want to spend more time next semester systematically diagramming the views of the authors who are under discussion and I also want to spend more time breaking down the texts in the classroom together so as to model the skills of critical interpretation. At present, the discussions we have are based on the relevant texts but I do not dedicate a large amount of class time to digging through the texts together. Given the inability of many students to perform well on these interpretive tasks, tasks which are fundamental to the more advanced skills of responding to the text, I realize I need to devote more time here.
REL 201 This paper was a vast improvement over their earlier paper. Students knew what was expected and how they would be graded and we definitely went over the assignment criteria in class to help explain it in great detail before the assignment was given.
SPC 100 This exercise went as planned. I do not believe it needs to be adjusted.

the following: identifying central issues or assumptions in an argument, making correct
inferences from data, deducing conclusions from information or data provided, interpreting
whether conclusions are warranted on the basis of data given, and evaluating the validity of
an argument." I would argue that all course outcomes for English 101 are addressed in the
attached assignment, and most are related to critical thinking as defined above. However, if it
is necessary to choose one course outcome, I will select: 7. research, evaluate, analyze, and
document sources; Pascarella, Ernest T., et al. "Is differential exposure to college linked to the
development of critical thinking?." Research in Higher Education 37.2 (1996): 159‐174.
ENG 102 * integrate evidence to support their own ideas, using quoting, paraphrasing, and
summarizing
* Analyze, synthesize, and evaluate a variety of print and electronic texts
* Formulate vital questions and problems in a clear and precise manner

INTENSIVE WRITING (INT‐W) COURSE CHANGES
BUS 204 no actions were taken because the students met the criteria of the assignment well. The majority of students had few problems with this assignment. Perhaps I will provide a little more specific information on the need to address pros and cons with emails. This may help students identify more reasons some people would find this communication method more comfortable.

ENG 101 I’m not sure what you are looking for here when you say actions taken to adjust student learning for the class. I would say this means what was changed during instruction to help students struggling with this outcome achieve it. For this course then, one thing that was adjusted for was additional one on one instruction. For example, as is usual for a rhetorical analysis assignment, several students have trouble understanding the difference between writing about the issue brought up by a text, and the way the writer of a text uses rhetorical tools to persuade an audience. While working on thesis development for our Rhetorical analysis, I modified the schedule and assignments for a portion of the class period and taught one on one rotating small groups to promote learning of this difficult concept, while students continued with the previously assigned group work assignment for the day. I am pleased with the results of this class, especially since they were my best‐performing composition class. In future iterations of this assignment, I might spend more class time covering how to write more cohesive evaluations of a text after it was analyzed. That seemed to be the skill that many students struggled with, particularly the ones who did not meet the criteria for the assessed course outcome. In future semesters, I would like to have students bring several sources to class to analyze how the sources are related, how they are interpreting the data and what conclusions they are coming to. This could be done in peer groups so individuals could gain the perspectives of their peers on the sources. For my next section of this course, I will spend more time discussing and explaining the differences between scholarly and popular sources, and why these differences are important. I also plan to construct additional opportunities for students to discuss these issues in more depth with their peers and to analyze specific sources collaboratively, prior to applying these skills independently. While I have been pleased overall with the student outcomes for this assignment, critical evaluation and utilization of source material is a key component of research skills. Therefore, it is a major focus of my constant revision and improvement of this course.
ENG 102 This semester, I believed I scaffolded the learning opportunities in a way that supports students in meeting this outcome, however, it's clear that I need to be more intentional in my approach when I teach this course next semester. Though I provided feedback to these students in their formative assessments, which indicated how they could improve their outcomes, I'm thinking that I will use a different formative/low stakes assignment to help students hone these skills. I'm going to incorporate even more structure into the reading responses that students compose each week. Specifically, I'm looking to incorporate a regular assignment called a rhetorical precis, which requires students to compose a highly structured paragraph. The following example, which I will use as a model for creating the weekly assignment, is drawn directly from Oregon State University's website (http://oregonstate.edu/instruct/phl201/modules/rhetorical‐precis/sample/peirce_sample_precis_click.html): In a single coherent sentence give the following: ‐name of the author, title of the work, date in parenthesis; ‐a rhetorically accurate verb (such as "assert," "argue," "deny," "refute," "prove," disprove, "explain," etc.);
73 | Coconino Community College Fall 2017 Assessment Report
‐a that clause containing the major claim (thesis statement) of the work. b) In a single coherent sentence give an explanation of how the author develops and supports the major claim (thesis statement). c) In a single coherent sentence give a statement of the author's purpose, followed by an "in order" phrase. d) In a single coherent sentence give a description of the intended audience and/or the relationship the author establishes with the audience. I believe that I'll be able to provide even more meaningful focused feedback to students through the rhetorical precis assignment. Furthermore, I think the rhetorical precis is a really great teaching tool to get students to analyze mentor texts while producing their own strong paragraphs that are well‐developed and well‐supported with evidence. In addition to using the rhetorical precis, I plan to be more intentional about how I teach students when to quote, paraphrase, or summarize. Most often, it seems that students default to using direct quotes when summarizing or paraphrasing would better serve their argument. Through the rhetorical precis, I can provide feedback which will help students be more agile in how they integrate evidence into their own writing. This assignment was used as part of a larger assignment. The idea was to permit students opportunities to create concepts for games to solicit social awareness with the persuasive appeals in mind. The second part of the assignment was to analyze the appeals for effectiveness in a rhetorical analysis.Based on student feedback and nearly 100% critical thinking outcome success in the class, I will use this assignment again. I use words such as logic, analysis, assertions, proof, insight, and critical questioning. Every semester most students find that this is something they understand right away or after some discussion. However, every semester there are a few who write something that is only an informational recitation or a winding summary. Each semester I have tried to reach out to everyone, especially those who missed the point. My thoughts now center around finding a brilliant but accessible example of critical thinking and analysis in writing and having the class read it and explain why it is useful in understanding our task.
RDG 099 No action was necessary as most students who turned in the assignment demonstrated the ability to analyze, evaluate, and synthesize their thoughts regarding what they learned in the course.

MATHEMATICS (MAT) COURSE CHANGES
MAT 140 Students were struggling more with probability and some other later materials, so more discussion was encouraged for those sections to help clarify any misconceptions students had. More examples than what I have done previously were also given to help reinforce the methods for solving such problems.
MAT 140 Having only taught this course once, I would like to ensure that students have a deeper understanding of the content and do more cooperative and formative assessment.
MAT 140 I was blown away by the specific requirement that students would need to state some specifics about comparing the mean and the median by assessment item 5. It felt like an all or nothing approach to grading when it was specified "If they did not mention that the mean is affected by extreme values while the median is not, then no points." This specific statement literally instructed me to subtract an average of 13% from my class average scores. I believe the assessment item could be better defined so that students would be more likely to provide the desired response. At the same time, criteria was weighed so much more strongly than other criteria, that I felt it necessary to add it to my curriculum as a specifically memorized concept. I wish it was stressed in the course outline I was given for the course. I realized after using the tool to measure my students, that the need for a pre‐assessment would be wise that would prepare my students for what is expected of them. The tool, interestingly, corresponded with student final performance in the class in one direction. Students who were designated with "PASS" with the critical thinking tool also performed higher than 60% in the course. There were students who performed higher than 60% in the course but did not receive the critical thinking designation "PASS." I reflected further during my assessment of the student's performances and drew the following conclusions: 1.) My students will be expected to write more responses out in complete sentences through out the course. 2.) My students will be given specific vocabulary lists in some activities by which they are expected to utilize terminology for complete credit. 3.) My students will be given more compare and contrast items for practice in the course.
4.) My students are in need of greater enrichment while they participate in collaborative discussions and activities. 4a.) My students could use some improved rubrics while they collaborate so they can better hold themselves accountable for practicing and improving arguments. 4b.) My students can have more elaborate feedback in the form of expectations printed out ahead of class activities. 5.) My students can have more specific assignments assigned at the beginning of the course that will allow for student preparations as they dedicate their time to the course early on.
MAT 140 I am going to continue to incorporate more active learning into the class.
MAT 142 Write a two‐three sentence analysis of the assessment results. 16 students meet the 60 % threshold and 8 students did not. Two students did not take the final. Out of the 24 students who did not meet the criteria, all but two will receive Cs in the class. List any actions taken to adjust student learning for the section, possible changes to a future section if taught again, or explain why no action was necessary. I will place more emphasis on formula calculation and calculator use to improve the student’s scores.
MAT 142 I will continue to incorporate more active learning into the course.
MAT 160 I will spend more time explaining the concept of types of errors and what a decision from a hypothesis test means.
MAT 187 There was a continuing strong correlation between students passing the class and passing the assessment. The students who make it to the final typically are students who are passing the class. Since this assessment can be used as a tool to look at if the above (desired) pattern is present in all sections of MAT 187 (it is a common assessment), I do not feel any changes to the assessment are necessary. If an instructor has significant dissonance or lack of correlation between students passing the class and passing the assessment, then it could be used by them to adjust their focus. To really get a feel for the skill students have coming into 187, or how their skills have developed along the way would require a different assessment.
MAT 187 I rewrote my class notes for attempt to improve student learning and confidence. I also revised the practice problems to try to help students grasp the material in smaller increments and gain mastery.
MAT 187 Based on results, increase time spent on application problems.
MAT 220 I will continue to incorporate more active learning into the course.
MAT 230 The results above do not match the overall understanding of Euler's Method the students had. While all the students could eventually successfully complete the activity ‐ getting to see visually and algebraically what Euler's method is ‐ and were able to generate the formula for Euler's method, many students struggled with this concept on the homework and on the exam. There was a disconnect between using critical thinking to discover Euler's method and then being able to apply it. I am not teaching this class again in the spring, but if I was I would follow the IBL activity with practice on Euler's Method

CHM 151 All course outcomes as mentioned in the course outline of CHM151 are used to assess the critical thinking.
GLG 105 There are multiple labs and in‐class exercises (mostly on individual planets) that require critical thinking. However, in my opinion none is more important that Lab No. 1 ‐ Scales, since it sets the stage for subsequent discussion and materials. (This lab, with answers, is included in Question 5). The distances, sizes, and ages for bodies in Astronomy and more specifically Planetary Science are outside most people's every day reality. We deal mostly in mundane things like miles driving, the span of a lifetime (70‐80 years), etc. In Planetary Science we can deal in bodies that are thousands to a million (plus) km in diameter, distances in billions of km or light years, and ages in the billions of year. Conceptually, it is difficult for people to comprehend the concepts. Although Lab No. 1 ‐ Scales, along with class lectures, go a long way to help students understand this, it is work that extends for several lectures and labs. We complete the lab in class, I review individual student results, and then jointly review in class. In my experience understanding these concepts take longer than I would like.

BIO 100 This is the first time I've offered this project, so have not yet refined for future semesters.
BIO 100 I'm not teaching for CCC again after this semester, so I will not be taking any action to adjust my instruction. If I were to make a suggestion, the course outcomes are in desperate need of rewriting. The current outcomes are written to only require very low‐level thinking skills. Generality is appreciated as it fosters academic freedom, but if you want students' critical thinking to be assessed, put that in the course outcomes, if for nothing else, then so that they are aware of that. I literally had a student tell me that I shouldn't be assessing critical thinking because she was learning that in another class. If I were to make another suggestion, it would be to include an actual education expert in decisions regarding course assessment and writing of outcomes. As in, someone who has formally studied education, pedagogy, and assessment, not just someone who has been at the college for 20 years and read a book about critical thinking once.
BIO 181 This next semester I will be incorporating a weekly writing assignment to prepare students for their critical thinking GMO essay at the end of the semester.

BIO 182 In this case this was the first time using this discussion post. Based on the feedback and high percentage of successful completion no change will be made.
BIO 201 I am satisfied with the student's knowledge based at the end of this course. It seems that they understand the basic principals of Anatomy and Physiology, and are generally competent in identifying anatomical features from the required organ systems. I would love students to perform better on practical assessments. This is tricky because the most effective way to achieve higher scores in this area is to spend time with the models and microscopes. In my experience, about 4 additional hours of model time are needed a week to properly learn the models et al. Open labs were offered this year on Fridays. Some of my students attended, but others worked during the hours offered. The open labs were operated by a student who previously took the class and did very well. I suggested expanding this program next semester. For me, I find that many students learn the concepts better when I supplement YouTube videos that cover the topics in a fun, interactive way (I.E. Crash Course). Outside of the relevance of the material, this is often the first time they learn that there are great resources available for them, for free, on stream sites like YouTube. Next semester, I will make some of these videos mandatory, with a couple quiz points dedicated to an event that occurred in the videos (to keep them honest).
BIO 202 Most students met the criteria. I used a quiz to measure this. In the future I will use a specific essay question to measure to get a better feel for the students ability to explain what they learned.
BIO 202 No action was necessary at this time as a large majority mastered the exercise and the other 5 earned 9 or 9.5 points out of 10.
CHM 151 Many students are new to the standardized testing and find these tests are comparatively tricky than rest of the assignments of the class. This kind of standardized test is comprehensive and demands an overall understanding of the subject. It requires the ability to think critically and develop the interdisciplinary knowledge of the science as a whole. To improve the success rate in this type of assessment, the student needs adequate exposure early in the class. Students should be exposed to ACS practice test and can be included in the course content. However, it will involve additional cost to the student. It may be a challenge to the student who is financially challenged
GLG 105 This was my first time teaching this class, and my starting point was the material left by my predecessor. I would say that about a third of the material used in the class was from the previous professor ‐ I built the rest. As the semester progressed, I modified the class structure to include more hands‐on exercises and less lecture. This has worked best for the fellow geology professors I consulted. Multiple activities keep the students more focused.
86 | Coconino Community College Fall 2017 Assessment Report
Next time I will add more hands‐on exercises and make sure that students understand concepts before moving forward. Â Also, in addition to the three exams I give, I plan to add quizzes to further gauge progress and understanding. Short movies will continue to be part of the class, followed by discussion periods. One comment I heard several times is that there was a lot of material. Unfortunately, that is the nature of the subject. There is a lot of factual information. Hopefully, with the changes implemented, it will enhance the learning experience.
NTR 135 In analyzing why 5 students did not meet criteria for the assignment I found that: 2 of them submitted the assignment after the due date. 3 did not respond to the self analysis questions completely or at all. I did start to send out reminders of upcoming assignments, criteria and due dates. I also send out reminders that students could submit late written assignments with points deducted for late submission.
PHY 180 Students who attempted the exercise were quite successful. Since this is an intro course with no pre‐reqs there tends to be a large proportion of unfocused students. The best action would be to add some pre‐reqs for the course.

SOCIAL & BEHAVIORAL SCIENCES (S&BS) COURSE CHANGES
ANT 101 A total of 18 students participated in all three activities for this assessment. The highest pre‐seminar score was a 15 with a low score of 5 (Table 1). The average pre‐seminar score was 11.5. The highest post‐seminar score was a 20 with a low score of 6. The average gain was 2.9. Consequently, the discussion activity resulted in a positive gain in critical thinking skills for this particular activity. Overall, I was pleased with the gain ‐‐ given this was just the second week of the course. I think I could improve these gains by providing better instructions that discuss critical thinking. Since I didn’t know that I would be assessing this assignment using the Critical Thinking VALUE rubric, I assessed this activity using different criteria. Now that I know this is a college‐wide expectation, I can better communicate the instructions with my students.
ANT 102 This is about what I expect to see at the end of the semester and about the same for my other 2 classes that I looked at this in. Those particular students were also less engaged with the material than others throughout the semester, one student has not been to DR for evaluation but should be (per her grandmother). I will continue reiterate the relationships between each chapter. I won't change the format of the questions as these relationships effect the lives of our students too. The students have an earlier discussion on the concept of race, for which they watch one of the videos in the assignment. Any student who does not perform well in these discussions or who does not display an understanding of the topics is addressed at that time. The assignment is their final paper and is a culmination of many weeks of learning/discussing the required concepts. The majority of students who complete the paper do not have any issues with the topic.
ECN 205 Focus on actions to describe how to do the assignment better. No action necessary.

GEO 131 All students that attempted the project demonstrated understanding of the assignment, were able to construct a proposal based upon concepts learned in class, and showed the ability to apply concepts and theory to real world problems.
HIS 131 No action or adjustment is necessary at this time because present methods are effective.
HIS 211 No action taken.
POS 101 Students have to submit four individual critical analyses and two group analyses, as a result by the end of the semester students are able to complete this assignment. Re‐work rubric given to students to make the expectations of what a passing paper looks like. Re‐work rubric given to students to help them better understand how to show Critical Thinking in a research paper.
PSY 101 No action was necessary, as the only people who did not meet criteria were the two who did not turn in a paper. No action was necessary because all students who attempted the assignment understood the connection between malnutrition and brain development and later brain functioning.
PSY 240 I will likely focus a couple more assignments on critical thinking specifically.
PSY 250 Some students didn't make changes from the rough draft and had their final papers returned so that appropriate changes could be made. Therefore, I'm considering adding an additional step or checklist for students to complete prior to turning in their final draft to help ensure students have addressed the criteria by which the paper will be graded.
SOC 101 Course Outcome 3. recognize the link between culture and society as it relates to values, beliefs, and norms; Sociology requires critical thinking! Throughout the semester, I implore my students to use critical thinking skills not only in the classroom, but in their day to day lives. I urge them to explore their own beliefs about the world, and challenge them to determine WHY they hold these opinions to be true. I encourage them to research all “sides” of a point of view and reflect at all times. I require statements based in factual research to support their own assessments. I remind my students that everyone is entitled to their own points of view, but for those opinions to be considered noteworthy they must be supported by well researched facts. Sociology is about asking “why?” and looking for connections as to why certain phenomenon take place in society. With that said, I feel that all of my assignments include components of use of critical thinking skills. This assignment is in three parts; Part One deals with the terms Ethnocentrism and Cultural Relativism, Part Two with how Media impacts our society, and Part Three with the rather sensitive topic of Rape Culture. All three parts ask my students to examine these concepts through the use of their critical thinking skills by; defining the terms in their own words, applying these terms to their own examples, and defending their own points of view through the use of statements based on factual research as well as reflecting on how their
92 | Coconino Community College Fall 2017 Assessment Report
own experiences impact their opinions. I feel that this is a solid assessment and plan on using it again in future semesters without much change to Part One. I would like to change Parts Two and Three slightly to incorporate more of the recent news coverage of the topic's of “fake news” in regards to Media, as well as the topic of sexual harassment in regards to Rape Culture. My goal is to teach my students how imperative it is to utilize their critical thinking skills in every aspect of their lives, but especially in our current climate of Media saturation. After reviewing student work, I saw that the students who did not meet the criteria had also missed early work/assignments. Since this assignment built on previous work, I will make sure to stress the importance of the earlier work in future courses. Also, the students who did not meet the criteria spent very little time on the assignment. While earlier essay questions were similar, I will be sure to note how much time is expected to prepare for and complete the assignment in the instructions in the future.
SOC 215 I would warn students via email that they will be watching three hours at minimum for this one assignment, it can be overwhelming information.

CIS 215 The project was to combine five program modules together. A main module determines when and how to invoke the other modules. Two of the four subordinate modules were already done as previous homework assignments. The other two had to be created new for this project. When I do this again, I will assign all four subordinate modules from previously completed homework. The objective of this was how to put the single programs into a larger combined program. The "how to" and methods to do this are what requires the critical thinking.
SPA 101 After hearing the responses and examples from the various small groups, we came to a conclusion that many times the meaning of a word can be derived from contextual cues found within the written text or spoken language. Students had to deduce the meaning on their own first to arrive at this realization.

Degree/Certificate Assessment Plans
Over the summer of 2017, the Assessment Coordinator and the various programs of the Career and
Technical Education (CTE) Division met and reviewed their program outcomes and worked to identify
key courses and assessment tools to collect program‐level assessment data. The result of this work will
be collected and reported this year.
The CTE programs will be working to establish baseline assessment for all of their program outcomes.
The goal is to identify program outcomes that may need to be focused on and addressed. This baseline
should help in establishing a program‐level assessment plan moving forward.
Each program area will be reporting on the assessment tool identified from the course selected by the
end of Spring 2018.
The Assessment Coordinator has been working with the CTE programs throughout the year and has
collected some data from Pre‐Health, Nursing, Fire Science, Paramedic Studies, and Construction

General Education Assessment
The General Education programs have been working to establish clear and defined performance
measures for critical thinking. This year, the General Education blocks (Arts & Humanities, English,
Math, Social & Behavioral Sciences, and Physical & Biological Sciences), met to discuss the following
items:
1. How students move through the Gen Ed block,
2. Create shared critical thinking definitions,
3. Identify key courses within the Gen Ed block that contribute to critical thinking,
4. And, create a shared assessment tool to measure critical thinking in the key courses.
The goal was to begin to use the new performance measures of critical thinking and gather program‐
level learning outcomes data in the spring semester.
The overall definition of critical thinking for General Education as a whole is the students will, “use a
variety of inquiry methods, resources, and reasoning skills that support and promote lifelong learning.”
The following is a list of the program areas within the General Education blocks and the performance
measures, selected courses, and reporting assessment tool from which baseline data will be established.
Arts & Humanities (A&H)
In A&H, critical thinking is demonstrated by the following three performance measures:
The student will:
Exhibit an understanding of relevant concepts,
Integrate credible evidence into their analysis,
Derive a well‐reasoned conclusion from their analysis.
The A&H program created two rubrics, one with three tiers and one with two tiers, to be used for
shared assessing. These rubrics will be used in ART 201, ENG 272, HUM 205, and PHI 101.
English (ENG)
In English, critical thinking is demonstrated by the following two performance measures:
The student will:
Evaluate resources for credibility
Integrate evidence to support their own ideas.
The ENG program created one rubric to be used for shared assessing. This rubric will be all of the ENG
102 courses.
105 | Coconino Community College Fall 2017 Assessment Report
Math (MAT)
In MAT, critical thinking is demonstrated by the following eight performance measures (with one to be
further developed in the future):
Students will:
Apply mathematics in context using appropriate problem solving skills.
Choose and manipulate formulas.
Create graphical representations.
Interpret graphical representations.
Perform operations on mathematical structures, which may include real, complex, matrix,
function space.
Demonstrate an understanding of geometric concepts.
Apply and interpret limits and limit definitions.
Communicate using the language of mathematics.
(FUTURE) Gain appreciation of the nature and uses of mathematics.
Currently the MAT program already shares common final questions in many of their courses. It was
decided to use these shared common final questions and grading rubrics in MAT 140, 142, 151, 160, 187
and 220 in the 2018 Spring semester to gather MAT program critical thinking assessment data.
Physical & Biological Sciences (P&BS)
In P&BS, critical thinking is demonstrated by the following three performance measures:
The student will:
Identify problem/issue concerning the human condition
Apply relevant concepts/theories to the problem/issue
Provide relevant evidence in their analysis
The P&BS program will gather data in BIO 100, BIO 181, CHM 152, GLG 101, PHY 180.
Social & Behavioral Sciences (S&BS)
In S&BS, critical thinking is demonstrated by the following three performance measures:
The student will:
Exhibit an understanding of relevant concepts,
Integrate credible evidence into their analysis,
Derive a well‐reasoned conclusion from their analysis.
106 | Coconino Community College Fall 2017 Assessment Report
The S&BS program created one rubrics tier rubric to be used for shared assessing. These rubrics will be
used in ECN 205, ANT 250, PSY 250 and SOC 210.
Current Opportunities for Improvement
It is necessary to continue and build the education of assessment and its contributions to student learning throughout the college. The Assessment Coordinator will begin to look into educational webinars concerning building assessment tools and building a workshop based on the work of Angelo and Cross.
The college should continue to explore best practices on gathering assessment data at the program and course levels.
The Assessment Plan for Student Academic Achievement should be updated.
Revise the external website to reflect current practices of assessment within the college. This website should also provide tools for the instructors to understand CCC’s assessment processes and how to obtain information or ask questions.
Identify data collection areas throughout the college and determine if or how these collection points contribute to student learning and assessment. These areas might need to be evaluated by the Assessment Committee for potential uses such as the CCC Graduation Survey or the CCC Employer Needs Survey.

Co‐Curricular Assessment
In the fall of 2017, the Student Life Coordinator and the Assessment Coordinator began to work
together to gather assessment data for some of the events that the Student Development department
host throughout the year. In the fall, there were two events where qualitative assessment data was
gathered.
On 09/18/17, we held Constitution Day. The event featured a display of the Constitution with a playact
of its signing. There was an intense knowledge building session followed by a Jeopardy game testing the
students’ knowledge retention.
This event addressed the two General Education outcomes of Diversity & Global Awareness and Ethical
& Civil Values. The qualitative assessment consisted of two questions:
1. What is something new you learned about the Constitution?
2. How could we improve this event for next year?
There were 14 responses received.
Common responses to Question #1 were:
George Washington was the first to sign the Constitution.
There are 27 amendments.
Rhode Island was the last state to sign the Constitution.
Thomas Jefferson was not there.
The 18th amendment was repealed.
On 11/16/17, there was a Native American Heritage Celebration. The event had Native American
information tables, a frybread and taco sale, a Hopi Dance Performance, two speakers who were Ms.
Southwestern Navajo Jaden Williams and Alvina Begay, and a Hoop Dance lead by Moontee Sinquah.
This event addressed the two General Education outcomes of Ethical & Civil Values and Diversity &
Global Awareness. The qualitative assessment consisted of three questions:
1. List one to three new facts about Native American heritage that you learned from and of the
presenters.
2. Write a brief sentence on your understanding of the performances by Moontee Sinquah.
3. How would you rate this event in terms of adding to your appreciation of the Native American
heritage and culture?
There were eight responses received.
Common responses to Question #1 were:
Flutes and drums are common all over the world.
The Hopi Butterfly Dance is for all living things, performed with unwed girls.
Language is vital to keeping the culture alive. Only 15% of the younger generations can speak
their native language.
138 | Coconino Community College Fall 2017 Assessment Report
The war dances were outlawed in the late 1800‐1900s.
Common responses to Question #2 were:
Using your imagination to see all of creation through the dance.
The Hoop Dance is for prayers and gives new life every time the hoop passes over him.
The average response to Question #3 was “10” representing that all responders felt the event added to
their appreciation of the Native American heritage and culture.
Current Opportunities for Improvement
The Student Life Coordinator and the Assessment Coordinator have continued to work together into the
spring semester to assess various activities and plan to expand and formalize a plan to expand co‐
curricular activities for next year.

Dual Enrollment Assessment
At the beginning of Fall 2017, the Dual Enrollment Coordinator, Associate Vice President of Innovative
Learning Solutions, and the Assessment Coordinator met to create a plan to gather assessment
information from the dual enrollment instructors.
The proposed plan is simple. The Dual Enrollment Coordinator would reach out to the dual enrollment
instructors to gather a summative assignment and student results by the end of the academic year. This
information will then be shared with the appropriate assessment program for evaluation and
recommendations.
This process will also establish a baseline of assessment for the dual instructors’ courses.
The Dual Enrollment Coordinator and the Assessment Coordinator collaborated to create an email to
send out to the dual enrollment instructors asking for the assignment and the student data. The Dual
Enrollment Coordinator sent this communication out before the end of Fall 2017 semester and multiple
times in the Spring 2018 semester. The deadline for the dual enrollment instructors to send in this
information is May 15th, 2018.
In addition, the Assessment Coordinator was invited to a Dual Enrollment Meeting between our dual
enrollment coordinating staff in the college and from the high schools. At this meeting, it was discussed
that assessment and the reporting of assessment from the dual enrollment instructors should be
included in the IGA. The Dual Enrollment Coordinator vetted wording to include fro the Dual Enrollment
Academic Year 18‐19 IGA regarding student learning assessment:
Coconino Community College (CCC) is undergoing a multi‐year project to make assessment relevant in
all of our programs including Dual Enrollment. Student learning outcomes articulate what a student
should know or can do after completing a course. The assessment of student learning outcomes
provides information that puts student learning at the forefront of academic planning processes. In
order to accomplish this, CCC is requesting that each Dual Enrollment instructor provide CCC with a
copy of the summative assignment used for their course that measures the course‐level learning
outcomes as indicated in the course outline. The expectation is that each Dual Enrollment instructor
provide CCC with this summative assessment by the end of AY 18‐19 academic year.
Also during this meeting, the coordinators of the high schools stated that they could provide assessment
data based on year‐end tests from all of their Career and Technical students. The Dual Enrollment
Coordinator and Assessment Coordinator will work together to ensure that Coconino Community
College receives this data as well as obtain as many summative assignments and student results from
our dual enrollment instructors as possible.
We endeavor to refine the process of gathering dual enrollment instructors as we proceed in our
assessment efforts.

Dear CCC Dual Enrollment Instructors!
Coconino Community College (CCC) is undergoing a multi‐year project to make assessment relevant in
all of our programs including Dual Enrollment.
In order to accomplish this, CCC is requesting that all Dual Enrollment instructors provide our Assessment Coordinator, Sarah Southwick, with a copy of the summative assignment used for your course that measures the course‐level learning outcomes as indicated in the course outline. Please
send this summative assignment for your DE class(es) to Sarah Southwick at
sarah.southwick@coconino.edu by May, 15th 2018.
Additional Information: Please do not create a new assignment for assessment. We would just like to
see how you are already assessing the course. This summative assignment could be particular questions
on a final exam, a rubric for a final essay, or pre‐ and post‐tests for the course; it can be anything that
the instructor, using their professional opinion, determines will show to what level a student has learned
the course‐level learning outcomes.
This assignment should be submitted by the end of SP 18 semester and should have the following information:
1. The assessment assignment
2. The alignment of the assignment to the course outcomes
3. The student performance for the assignment
There are examples provided for an ENG 102 Research Assessment and MAT 091 Test.
In Fall 18, this assessment assignment will be reviewed by an appropriate subject matter expert to
confirm the tool properly measures the course‐level learning outcomes and to suggest any
improvements for gathering assessment data.
If you have any questions about this project, feel free to reach out to Sarah Southwick, Assessment
Coordinator.

Distance Learning Assessment
There was much effort put into the assessment of online learning as the enrollment in our online
learning courses continue to see a steady rise in enrollment.
In 2017, we contracted with “Infrastructure,” the company of our learning management system Canvas,
to evaluate 66 of our online courses which encompassed most of our online courses. An external
evaluator from Infrastructure conducted a comprehensive evaluation to determine where we could
improve student learning in our online courses. The evaluator consider the quality of the assessment
tools in each course and made recommendations for improvement.
Each report contained many sections, but two specifically applied to the assessment of learning:
Learning Objectives (Competencies)
2.1 The course learning objectives, or course/program competencies, describe outcomes that are
measurable.
2.2 The module/unit learning objectives or competencies describe outcomes that are measurable
and consistent with the course‐level objectives or competencies.
2.3 All learning objectives or competencies are stated clearly and written from the learner’s
perspective.
2.4 The relationship between learning objectives or competencies and course activities is clearly
stated.
2.5 The learning objectives or competencies are suited to the level of the course.
Assessment and Measurement
3.1 The assessment measures the stated learning objectives or competencies.
3.2 The course grading policy is stated clearly. 3.3 Specific and descriptive criteria are provided for the evaluation of learners’ work and are tied to
the course grading policy.
3.4 The assessment instruments selected are sequenced, varied, and suited to the learner work
being assessed.
3.5 The course provided learners with multiple opportunities to track their learning progress.
The Online Learning Committee, which is comprised primarily of faculty, looked at the reports and an
administrator went over the findings with each online instructor. Each instructor was asked, “How can
you use the information provided to improve student learning in your course?” From these findings, it
was shown that improving student engagement was something that could be improved across all of the
online courses.
Future actions will include de‐aggregating the results to focus on the two sections focused on
assessment of student learning and creating actions plans from that specific information for all courses.

Future Projects
Assessment Website and Canvas Shell
The Associate Dean of Assessment & Curriculum and the Assessment Coordinator will work with the
Assessment Committee to develop the Assessment Website using guidelines from the National Institute
for Learning Outcomes Assessment. Currently the external website contains generic assessment
information, and the goal would be to make it more relevant to the college’s assessment processes.
The Assessment Coordinator will continue to build the Education and Learning Effectiveness Canvas
Shell. Currently it has information on the Gen Ed Critical Thinking Project and parts of the Program
Review Process.
Revision of Assessment Plan from 1995/2000
During the compilation of the assessment history of CCC, the Assessment Coordinator found the
college’s “Assessment Plan for Student Academic Achievement” from 1995 as well as the “Academic
Assessment Program Plan” from 2000. Using both these resources along with the processes that had
been developed by the Assessment Committee in the past year, the Assessment Coordinator will create
a current “Assessment Plan” for the college to be reviewed by the Dean of Curriculum & Assessment
and the Assessment Committee. Part of this plan will be best practices handouts that could be used
outside of the plan for information about the college’s assessment.

Anthropology Program Review 5/16/17
I. Overviewa. Narrative
1) State the purpose of the program and any contributions to the community.
The purpose is to offer an AA degree with the goal of successfully preparing studentsfor transfer to a 4‐ year anthropology program. Contributions are a broadening ofGen Ed offerings meeting the contemporary Global/ International Awareness,Ethnic/Race/Gender Awareness, and Writing Intensives in adherence with HLC policyand the American Anthropological Association’s ethical guidelines:http://ethics.americananthro.org/category/statement/
2) Define what sets this program apart from other similar programs.
This is a developing program which centers on community and global support andappreciation for diversity and activism within an applied focus.
3) State how long has the program existed.This is only our second program review and the first year we’ve had a full‐time facultyin the program. Courses in anthropology have at least been offered since 2009 if notearlier.
State when the last program review was completed: 5/16/2012
4) Provide a summary of changes since last program review.
Created full‐time position for anthropology beginning Fall/2016, began theAnthropology Club in Spring of 2017, and working toward Summer field school insummer of 2017. Due to HLC concerns there have been some staffing changes andwe are currently hiring for a physical anthropologist.
5) Summarize any initiatives the program has taken on since the last program review.
Developing a more viable and sustainable program geared around student successand development in the field of anthropology and general social sciences.
b. Program Goals1) List the program goals clearly and concisely.
Building a strong, professional, and attractive field of interest at CCC for students.
The AA in Anthropology lists the following program Student Learning Outcomes:Upon completion of the program, students will: recognize human diversity, specifically differences within and between peoples;
describe core research methods and theories employed within the discipline ofanthropology;
examine the concept of holism as it relates to the discipline of anthropology;
define and apply key terms, concepts and theories of anthropology;
demonstrate critical thinking skills through application and expression;
and describe the relationship between globalization and the discipline ofanthropology

2) Describe how the program goals are tied to the institutional mission statement.
CCC’s mission statement is “[a]s a learning‐centered college, Coconino Community College enriches lives by embracing diversity and transforming the future through quality education.” The Anthropology program promotes diversity—as that is the core tenet of anthropology as a field—and quality education through its program goals and course offerings. The courses offered are prerequisites for upper level classes at universities, and our courses are centered around a learning‐centered, experiential approach.
c. Staffing of the program
1) Provide a summary of overall staffing organization of the program. Full‐time faculty: Lisa Doskocil Part‐time faculty: Jerry Bacon, Lisa Becker
d. Decision Making:
1) Describe the decision making process within the program.
It is a group effort whenever applicable including vetting within the department and with the guidance as needed from the Dean and Provost.
2) Describe how the program gathers input and responds to those inputs.
Team meetings throughout the academic year or scheduled separately as needed.
3) Define any outside agencies that inform decision making and their scope.
We adhere to the American Anthropological Association core values, namely: The
purposes of the Association shall be to advance anthropology as the science that studies
humankind in all its aspects, through archeological, biological, ethnological, and linguistic
research; and to further the professional interests of American anthropologists, including
the dissemination of anthropological knowledge and its use to solve human problems.
http://www.americananthro.org/ConnectWithAAA/Content.aspx?ItemNumber=1650
e. Summary of student assessment results 1) Define the types of assessment used in the program.
Fall of 2016 and Spring of 2017 have seen the department and college working more diligently with the Critical thinking projects and gen. ed. Learning outcomes. This is beginning the process for greater alignment within and across departments regarding assessment and transparency. We will expand on this once these are aligned and established.
2) Summarize changes made due to assessment results about student learning outcomes.
None at this time as we are awaiting further information regarding the critical thinking
project, though we did switch to a free, online textbook for 102 classes to ensure
accessibility for our students.
f. Statement of Program’s accomplishments in support of the current strategic plan 1) Provide the goals from the strategic plan that the program contributes to.
154 | Coconino Community College Fall 2017 Assessment Report
3
Goal 1: CCC will provide learners educational opportunities that are accessible and affordable, while also being economically feasible for the college.
Goal 2: CCC will promote a learner‐centered environment that incorporates innovative strategies and support structures intended to reduce student attrition and increase retention.
Goal 3: CCC will empower students to achieve their individual learning goals and implement strategies to increase certificate and degree completion rates.
2) Provide evidence on how the program has been contributing to the strategic plan.
Access by having no enrollment caps and removing unnecessary prerequisites. Making our courses more flexible with students’ needs and schedules. Retention by having supportive and competent faculty centered around the concept of students first, creating classes that they will enjoy. Completion by being responsive to the needs of the students daily and over semesters, and changing the capstone course (per the last program review in 2012) in response to low enrollment.
g. Description of current facilities needed to conduct program, including space and equipment 1) Describe any designated space that is provided to support the program since the last
program review. Classroom space, ITV access, computers, projectors, maps, and a locked cabinet for lab materials have been provided. Working with the AOCs to find appropriate classroom space for sound and activity requirements of neighboring classes.
2) Describe any designated equipment purchased to support the program since the last
program review.
Annual purchasing of skulls and bones have occurred since 2012 but funds are being reallocated to incorporate more experiential opportunities in classes as well, particularly with regards to field trips and speakers. We are reorganizing the allocation of funds and working to create a field school in Fiji in collaboration with the Fiji Museum.
3) Observations on how the facilities and equipment contribute to the goals of the program. It would be great to have nicer/ more professional cabinet space and general equipment to add more respectability and professionalism to our department.
II. Teaching and Learning a. Program requirements and course offerings
1) Provide a review of the courses and class descriptions.
Our course catalogue should contain a description of our classes so our students know more information regarding the course they are taking. At this time, it does not but perhaps that is a change we could make to broaden students’ understanding of a course before registering for it.
2) Provide degree and certifications that the program contributes to (Appendix A).
3) Provide the outcomes of the degrees and certifications (Appendix B).
155 | Coconino Community College Fall 2017 Assessment Report
4
4) Insert a table of courses, sections, enrollments, and tuition (Appendix F and G).
5) Elaborate on any patterns or outlying data contained within the table.
Lisa is working with NAU’s anthropology department chair and faculty to ensure that programs offered here at CCC will not need to be repeated at NAU under a different course number. This is in progress. New, cheaper texts have been added to Peoples of the World, 102, and Language and Culture 103. The dates offering the anthropology of religion and peoples of the southwest have been switched to provide greater learning opportunities and potential for field trips.
6) Relate any closely related industry market trends or university/college enrollments if
applicable. The push is to offer more online courses nationally. Unfortunately, this direction works counter to the efforts made within cultural anthropology to increase human connection.
b. Industry standard certifications for students (if applicable) N/A
c. Course outlines reviewed and updated
While there is no set schedule for course outline reviews, the college attempts to review course outlines every five years. As a department, faculty review the course outlines, make necessary changes, and submit the revised course outlines to Curriculum Committee for approval. ANT 101, ANT 102, and ANT 103 were all last revised in the spring of 2015 (per the previous department review though changes made were not mentioned therein). It has been longer since the other courses were revised: ANT 250 was last revised in 2010. ANT 110 and ANT 241 were last revised in 2009. ANT 230 was last revised in 2008. It is not known whether or not these courses were reviewed since these last revision dates.
d. Curriculum
1) Describe any curricular changes since the last program review: None
2) Note any impending course changes: None
3) Describe the effects on the program that these curricular changes have made: N/A currently, previously unknown
e. Articulation
1) Provide an introductory paragraph detailing how the courses transfer within Arizona.
The majority of our higher level courses transfer as electives while the 100s tend to transfer as specific course requirements (see appendix C).
2) Note any concerns of courses that are only transferable as electives or non‐transferable.
Our courses are currently under review within the department due to the fact that some of our programs which transfer to (in particular NAU) universities as electives are required to be retaken (with a different course number) by our students. Examples: People of the Southwest and Peoples of the World are both 200 level courses here at CCC and transfer to NAU as electives but will need to be retaken as
156 | Coconino Community College Fall 2017 Assessment Report
5
part of the degree program as 300 level courses.
3) Provide a transfer table of the courses within the certificates and degrees offered in the
program (Appendix C).
f. Program accreditation: N/A
g. Teaching workloads and delivery methods
1) Provide a percentage breakdown of course loads for full‐time and part‐time faculty.
Full‐time faculty teaches 5 classes each semester, ranging from 15‐17 credit hours. Part‐time faculty has had high turnover and have been affected by recent HLC adjustments. Before the 2016‐2017 academic year, all anthropology courses were taught by part‐time faculty. The hiring of a full‐time faculty member has added stability and direction to a successful program.
2) Discuss the responsibilities and workloads of the full‐time faculty.
Full‐time faculty is teaching 5 classes, required to participate in committee work (though this only began in the spring semester 2017 with the student success project), is lead mentor of the Anthropology club, and has offered an anthropology internship in the spring semester (2017) and will be conducting field research in summer 2017 for 2018 summer field school.
3) Discuss the responsibilities and workloads of the part‐time faculty.
Teaching 3‐9 credits per semester
4) Discuss the delivery methods of the courses.
In person and online courses are available.
5) Discuss any release time of the full‐time faculty.
Faculty teaches the full load.
6) State the basic credentials needed for faculty of this program.
With new HLC credentials, the four fields of anthropology have been divided, requiring:
Cultural anthropology: 6 master’s credits (in progress) or a masters
Archaeology: 12 master’s credits (in progress) or a masters
Physical anthropology: 6 master’s credits (in progress) or a master’s
Linguistic anthropology: 6 master’s credits (in progress) or a masters
7) Note any concerns regarding faculty credentialing.
Due to recent HLC credentialing requirements, full‐time faculty currently cannot teach
archaeology and physical anthropology despite having a master’s degree in
anthropology. This also means that a PhD candidate also cannot teach courses outside
of their direct field. Anthropology degrees tend to specialize after Bachelor’s programs
end (while most Bachelor’s programs tend to offer 4‐field training) which thus leaves us
limited in our faculty teaching abilities.

h. Include a table of instructors and credentials or certifications (Appendix D)
III. Staff, resources, facilities, and funds a. Internal strengths of the program
1) Discuss the internal strengths of the program. Provide evidence and data to support answers.
This is a growing program in students and majors enrolled in anthropology classes. We now have dedicated full‐time faculty available for advising and general student support. Our new Anthropology Club is growing and will also work in collaboration with the NAU anthropology club to build relationships and ease the transition to university for our majors. We offer an AGEC lab science and have an applied focus which students can take with them to the university of their choice.
b. Internal weaknesses of the program
1) Discuss the internal weaknesses of the program. Provide evidence and data to support answers. With the high turnover in our department (particularly related to the HLC changes) and the difficulty in finding qualified and interested faculty, our students may suffer from having that broader, more diversified support. An additional full‐time faculty specializing in archaeology and physical anthropology is recommended. It would also be nice to have an advisor in advising who had an anthropology background for degree seeking student support. However, this is an aspect that is being addressed within the anthropology club itself.
c. List recommendations received since last program review or program advisory committee 1) List recommendations that were received at the last program review.
Recommendation was for full‐time faculty within the program, ensuring academic rigor, and increasing retention and program completers. An increase in connection with NAU was also recommended.
2) List any recommendations from Program Advisory Committees (if applicable). N/A
3) Elaborate on any actions taken on recommendations and effect on the program.
This is the first year with full‐time faculty which has helped the program in its efficiency, transparency, and support of our students. Academic rigor is still a concern but HLC requirements and the critical thinking projects are creating the space for dialogue and change. Having full‐time faculty will help with completion rates and retention of students and we are building relationships with NAU for student transfers.
4) If no action was taken on a recommendation, describe why no action was taken.
158 | Coconino Community College Fall 2017 Assessment Report

IV. Analysis and Recommendations a. Description of needs to conduct program, including space and equipment
1) Provide an overview of what a student will need to order to complete a certificate or degree within the program.
Access to computer and internet (Word, PowerPoint, Excel), thumb drive (preferably), access to printer, library, notebook, video/audio recorders (available in anthropology office), and textbooks are mandatory. No additional computer programs are required at this time.
2) Provide the specific structures and supports (technology, facilities, etc.) the students
need to be successful in the courses.
Students need more hands‐on opportunities to experience the diversity and culture
of the SW and the world. Lisa is working with the Dean to reallocate funding or
proposing a new student fee to provide greater experiential possibilities for all
anthropology classes. Our classroom supplies are sufficient though we are
purchasing new/better maps to better connect students with ways of seeing the
world. Technology at this time seems sufficient.
3) Elaborate on future needs of the program detailing how this will lead to student
success in the program.
We need to provide our students with field school experience to have real‐world
opportunities to test out our classroom theories and experience anthropology as
an applicable and important scientific endeavor. This is currently in progress of
development in collaboration with the Fiji Museum. This type of experience will
provide students with the ability to see whether anthropology (and which field of
anthropology) might be better suited for them and directions in future careers.
This also offers deeper experience in the world itself and the effects of
globalization on others of different cultures.
b. Assessment
1) Provide detailed descriptions on types of assessment used to measure student learning.
The college has taken new directions in assessing student learning through the critical thinking assessment and the general outcomes assessment. (See appendix E.)
2) Describe any course‐level and/or program‐level assessments that were conducted and
results since the last program review.
Due to organizational changes within the college, institutional assessment and
program assessment stopped around 2013. As part of a college‐wide effort to
reestablish a culture of assessment, the general education committee and the
assessment committee launched a Critical Thinking assessment. In the 2016‐ 2017
academic year, faculty and I collaborated on general education assessments of critical
thinking within anthropology courses. Assessments and the discussion will continue
3) Report any shared assessments within the program and data gathered from those
159 | Coconino Community College Fall 2017 Assessment Report
8
assessments.
We’ve found that within the department, the measurability of our student assessments
are not unified. Further work remains on these procedures as the department needs to
create common definitions and recognize shared questions to ensure appropriate,
program‐wide measurability.
4) Record any observations or trends found within the student assessment data.N/A
c. Challenges1) Provide any challenges that the program has faced since the last program review and the
results.We’ve experienced a high turnover of part‐time faculty due to hiring full‐time and HLCrequirements, which has put the quality of some of our course offerings at risk andchallenges our academic rigor.
2) Provide any challenges the program is facing now and provide the current plan of actionDue to these faculty challenges it is recommended that we hire another full‐time faculty of
archaeology/physical background to ensure effective continuation and quality courseofferings within our department.
3) Discuss any challenges for the students completing a certificate or degree
Challenges seem to stem from advising—some students have been misadvised and ithas required them to stay an additional semester to earn requiredcertifications/requirements for their programs. Working students are challenged tofinish their degrees on‐time as we don’t offer more online/evening courses. And onestudent has requested an Anthropology Major TAG program for ASU so other studentscan take classes at CCC for their bachelors and have financial aid cover it.
d. Summary of Significant Developments
1) Provide a clear summary of the program as a whole (successes, challenges, and futureactions).As this program is developing, with new full‐time faculty (success!), there are manyopportunities to be developed for student success. While we are challenged by HLCrequirements and current concerns with part‐time faculty, there is a lot of room forgrowth, improved measurements, and experiential opportunities to come. Having thesupport of the Provost has been immensely helpful for the program as he has a deepbackground in anthropology and understands what a healthy anthropology programhas to offer. Future actions: with continued growth of our Anthropology Club, thedevelopment of our summer research opportunities, and work to improve our coursetransferability (particularly to NAU so that students when transferring do not need torepeat a course), we will have a vibrant anthropology department. This will continue toincrease our numbers of majors and provide them with greater opportunities for theirown future success.

Coconino Community College (CCC) English Program Review I. Overview
a. Narrative
Coconino Community College (CCC) has offered developmental and transfer‐level English courses since the college opened in 1991. The CCC English Program offers developmental composition and reading classes for students who do not place directly into English 101 and transfer‐level courses for students who wish to transfer to a four‐year college or obtain a certificate at CCC. The sequence of developmental courses consists of three courses: ENG 095, RDG 099, and ENG 100. ENG 095 Basic Reading and Writing Skills is a combined reading and writing course for students, which is designed for students who attain minimum scores in either reading or writing Accuplacer Testing. The next sequence is separated into RDG 099, Advanced Reading Improvement and/or ENG 100, Fundamentals of Composition. These developmental courses are required for those students who do not place directly into ENG 101. Transfer‐level English courses provide foundational General Education courses in composition through CCC’s ENG 101 and ENG 102 sequence of courses, as well as courses in Arts and Humanities, Intensive Writing, and General Transfer. All transfer‐level courses articulate to the three Arizona state universities: Northern Arizona University, Arizona State University, and University of Arizona. These courses are offered in‐person, online, and through dual enrollment programs. The following courses provide students with General Education “Arts and Humanities” credit and Intensive Writing (IW) credit:
ENG 236 Introduction to the American Short Story (3)
ENG 237 Women in Literature (3)
ENG 238 Literature of the Southwest (3)
ENG 240 English Literature I (3)
ENG 272 Creative Writing: Non‐Fiction (3) (IW) Additionally, our creative writing courses provide students with General Transfer credit:
ENG 139 Introduction to Creative Writing (3)
ENG 235 Fundamentals of Screenwriting (3)
ENG 270 Creative Writing: Fiction (3)
ENG 271 Creative Writing: Poetry (3)
Our unique faculty sets the CCC English program apart from other programs. From professional, published authors, to rhetoricians and editors of discipline‐specific magazines, our faculty are hard at work practicing and honing their craft, publishing works, and actively researching innovative teaching methods to meet the emergent needs of a varied student population. In addition to conferences, workshops, and research on current teaching trends, CCC’s English Program gathers input at annual Articulation Task Force meetings through interactions with English
200 | Coconino Community College Fall 2017 Assessment Report
C C C E n g l i s h P r o g r a m R e v i e w P a g e 2 | 15
instructors from across the region. The English department works closely with local high school teachers to align dual enrollment English courses with college composition curriculum. Prior to 2016, CCC’s English department separated developmental writing and reading from transfer‐level courses—ultimately, treating them as separate programs. As such, the last program review for developmental English was completed in August of 2011, with the transfer‐level review being conducted on June 28, 2010. One of the biggest changes since the last program review was the elimination of department chairs throughout the college. As a result, an English program review was not conducted for several years. During the 2016 developmental review period, the lowest level courses for both reading and writing (RDG 089 and ENG 090) were combined into a single course: ENG 095. In Fall 2015, the ENG 101 and 102 course outlines were revised to provide students with a more consistent and effective transition from composition courses to other disciplines in which ENG 101 and ENG 102 are prerequisites or co‐requisites.
b. Program goals
The developmental reading and writing program seeks to increase retention rates of developmental students requiring basic skills instruction and prepare them for success in academic courses, whereas transfer‐level English courses seek to provide affordable General Education opportunities to northern Arizona’s unique, diverse lifelong learners. Classes are offered in‐person and through distance learning at Flagstaff campuses and CCC’s Page campus to honor the college’s mission of “embracing diversity” by serving the larger Coconino County population, which includes students in rural areas.
c. Staffing of the program
Developmental English staffing is comprised of one full‐time reading instructor and one full‐time composition instructor; however, as of Fiscal Year (FY) 16, the full‐time reading instructor has resigned and the position remains vacant. The department will be hiring a new full‐time English faculty member in the summer months, although the scope of this new position is under discussion and may include transfer‐level English courses.
Several part‐time instructors are hired each semester to teach developmental reading and writing classes at the CCC campuses in Flagstaff and Page. Additional data is in Appendix A.
Three full‐time faculty members teach transfer English. In FY 2013 to FY 2014, the department consisted of three full‐time transfer‐English faculty, with one faculty member serving as Department Chair with release time. Beginning FY 2015, chair positions were eliminated. Consequently, the department chair no longer served additional duties and taught 30 load hours a year, as did two full‐time transfer‐level English faculty. In FY 16, the former chairperson was hired as Interim Dean with a reduced teaching workload: three classes in 2015‐2016 and no additional teaching duties in 2016‐2017, although the instructor chose to teach one section of ENG 238. The other two full‐time instructors continued to teach 30 load hours, serve on various
201 | Coconino Community College Fall 2017 Assessment Report
C C C E n g l i s h P r o g r a m R e v i e w P a g e 3 | 15
committees, coordinate CCC’s college publications, and serve in advisory roles for Phi Theta Kappa.
Traditionally, the English department hires part‐time faculty to teach between one and
three classes on a semester‐by‐semester contract. In the past year, twenty‐three part‐
time faculty members were hired to teach transfer English courses. See Appendix A for
more data about full‐time vs. part‐time ratio staffing.
d. Decision making
Monthly English meetings include discussions about needs and assessment of the developmental English program. Input is gathered through the ARGOS Dashboard created by IR for students testing into developmental English courses. Another data point is the Accuplacer pre‐ and post‐testing of students enrolled in ENG 095. Curricular and learning outcome decisions within the English program are made through collaboration by all of full‐time English faculty. Curricular decisions go through an approval process that includes the Dean of Learning, Curriculum Committee, curriculum chair, and any additional affected departments. Scheduling and part‐time staffing decisions are made by the Dean, after consultation with the full‐time instructors, part‐time instructors, and the Academic Operations Coordinators. Transfer English is supported by CCC’s Testing Services and the Tutoring Center and other student services. In addition, the General Education Committee supports all General Education courses. e. Summary of student assessment results since last program review and programmatic changes
as a result of the assessment results
Previous assessment of placement testing utilized Accuplacer Reading Comprehension and Accuplacer Sentence Skills. The lack of alignment of the sentence skills test to actual student writing resulted in the implementation of Writeplacer as the current metric for placement in developmental composition classes. The results of this change have been positive. See Assessment b under Part IV: Analysis and Recommendations for more detailed results. The initial pre and post‐testing of ENG 095 students showed positive student growth in reading and writing skills. (See Appendix B.)
Due to administrative and organizational changes, department‐wide and institution‐wide
assessment did not occur at CCC for several years. During the 2016‐2017 academic year, the English
department took part in the assessment of critical thinking within general education courses. The
General Education Committee conducted an assessment of all general education courses taught by
full‐time and part‐time faculty to create a culture of critical thinking at the College. The Committee
asked for faculty to submit an assignment that assesses critical thinking and then for the faculty
member to use a standard rubric in Canvas to ascertain if students had learned important critical‐
thinking concepts. Graphs of the assessment results for ENG 101, 102, 238, and 272 can be seen in
Appendix C. The results are included in Assessment b under Part IV: Analysis and
202 | Coconino Community College Fall 2017 Assessment Report
C C C E n g l i s h P r o g r a m R e v i e w P a g e 4 | 15
Recommendations.
f. Statement of program’s accomplishments in support of the current strategic plan
The English department contributes to CCC’s 2016‐2020 strategic plan goal two: “CCC will promote a learner‐centered environment that incorporates innovative strategies and support structures intended to reduce student attrition and increase retention.” The restructure of combining ENG 090 and RDG 089 into one class, ENG 095, enables students needing these classes to complete the developmental classes’ sequence in fewer courses. This change directly contributes to the objective “Investigate and develop clear pathways for developmental education, certificates and programs” (Coconino Community College Strategic Plan Goals and Objectives Goal 2, Objective 6). Through the foundational roles that ENG 101 and ENG 102 play within the General Education program, the English program supports the strategic plan goal two. Although there are no objectives within the current strategic plan that specifically focus on transfer‐level English, we support learners by helping them gain the writing and research skills they need to be successful in college courses.
II. Teaching and Learning
a. Program requirements and course offerings
i. List of courses and their descriptions
See Appendix E for a complete list of course offerings. The sequence of developmental courses consists of three courses: ENG 095, RDG 099, and ENG 100. ENG 095 Basic Reading and Writing Skills is a combined reading and writing course for students, which is designed for students who attain minimum scores in either reading or writing Accuplacer Testing. The next sequence is separated into RDG 099, Advanced Reading Improvement and/or ENG 100, Fundamentals of Composition. These developmental courses are required for those students who do not place directly into ENG 101. Transfer‐level English courses provide foundational General Education courses in composition through CCC’s ENG 101 and ENG 102 sequence of courses, as well as courses in Arts and Humanities, Intensive Writing, and General Transfer. All Transfer‐level courses articulate to the three Arizona state universities: Northern Arizona University, Arizona State University, and University of Arizona. These courses are offered in‐person, online, and through dual enrollment programs.
The following courses provide students with General Education “Arts and Humanities” credit and Intensive Writing (IW) credit:
ENG 236 Introduction to the American Short Story (3)
ENG 237 Women in Literature (3)

2. Outcomes
The English Program contributes to the General Education Learning Outcomes.
As a part of this focus, our ENG 101 and ENG 102 courses prepare students for
writing intensive courses. Program learning outcomes that English contributes to
are not specific to English courses
iii. Enrollment for each semester
Enrollment for each semester can be found in Appendix G.
iv. List of courses, # of sections offered, # of enrollments, tuition paid by fiscal year
See Appendix G for a list of enrollments, tuition, and success rates.
One pattern of data relating to student success indicates that developmental
English and reading classes at the Flagstaff Lone Tree campus have a higher
success rate than classes held at Flagstaff Fourth Street campus. (See Appendix D.)
b. Licensure of students
Not applicable for English and reading courses. c. Course outlines reviewed and updated
While there is no set schedule for course outline reviews, the college attempts to review course outlines every five years. As a department, faculty review the course outlines, make necessary changes, and submit the revised course outlines to Curriculum Committee for approval.

C C C E n g l i s h P r o g r a m R e v i e w P a g e 6 | 15
The last program review for Developmental English was completed in August of 2011. Since then, in 2016 the lowest level courses for both reading and writing (RDG 089 and ENG 090) were combined into a single course, ENG 095. The purpose of this course was to restructure basic skills reading and writing classes to enable students needing these classes to complete the developmental classes’ sequence in fewer courses. Aligning with the college’s new strategic plan, this course meets the objective to “investigate and develop clear pathways for developmental education, certificates and programs.” Literacy development is dependent on an interconnection between reading and writing. Combining both curricula in one class gives a more unified perspective of this for the lower level developmental student. Other changes include the implementation of Writeplacer instead of Accuplacer Sentence Skills in order to assess student writing skills placement. We have also modified the placement criteria utilizing SAT scores in order to reflect the new SAT scoring system.
The last program review for Transfer English was completed in June 28, 2010. In Fall 2015, the ENG
101 and 102 course outlines were revised to provide students with a more consistent and effective
transition from composition courses to other disciplines in which ENG 101 and ENG 102 are
prerequisites or co‐requisites. Anecdotally, we found that students were having difficulty
understanding how to transfer the critical thinking skills they applied when writing a literary
analysis to papers required in other disciplines. Additionally, we found the language used in the
course outline to define student learning outcomes did not translate consistently to instructors
across course sections. For example, some instructors treated the ENG 102 course as an
introduction to literature course, rather than focusing on the research and composing skills. To
remedy these inconsistencies, the English department revised English 101 to focus on analysis,
argument, and profile or informative essays, and English 102 was revised to eliminate the creative
literature focus and concentrate on textual analysis and/or synthesis and research. These changes
align more closely with the Council of Writing Program Administrators (WPA) Outcomes for first‐
year composition.
d. Curriculum
English 101 and 102 underwent curricular changes after significant revisions were made in the course outlines during the 2013‐2014 academic year. All English faculty were involved in the revision process, and all faculty agreed that there were too many course outcomes for English 101. The Department decided to reduce the number of outcomes from nineteen to nine to provide clearer, more consistent outcomes for students. Faculty also changed the required assignments to give students the writing skills they will need for both their English and other general education courses. In addition, English 102 changed its focus from literature and literary analysis to rhetoric and research to better address the needs of students. Faculty had heard many student complaints that the literary analysis skills learned in 102 did not transfer well to their other courses and that they had to learn new skills that were not covered in 101. Since that change, the department has only been able to collect a year’s worth of data showing student success rates in English 102 from 2015‐2016. Initial results have been promising: success rates were 78.6%, the highest they have been in five years. (See Appendix I for more data.) However, this data represents only one year, and there are other factors that might have been integral to improving success rates. Therefore,
205 | Coconino Community College Fall 2017 Assessment Report
C C C E n g l i s h P r o g r a m R e v i e w P a g e 7 | 15
additional data will still need to be collected to see if the curricular changes in composition courses will improve student writing skills across the College over the next five years. Any curricular changes to ENG 100 and RDG 099 were minor and reflected updates to the course outlines. ENG 095 has been the major curriculum change. Due to this new course, low level developmental English students are now able to elevate both reading and writing skills in the time frame of one four‐hour class instead of two separate four‐hour classes. As part of an institution‐wide effort, a template will be implemented in online courses that standardizes the look and feel of the courses in order to increase student success. These changes will be implemented throughout the 2017‐2018 academic year. e. Articulation
AZ Transfer table
Developmental English and reading courses are institution‐specific and the credits do not transfer between institutions. With very few exceptions, the transfer‐level courses in the English department transfer as departmental elective credit or better at the three Arizona Universities. Our foundational composition courses, ENG 101 and ENG 102, transfer directly to Arizona State University (ASU) and the University of Arizona (UofA). If CCC students transfer both ENG 101 and ENG 102 to Northern Arizona University (NAU), they will have satisfied their composition requirement; NAU offers a 4‐credit hour ENG 105 as their composition course, which doesn’t match with the other universities or community colleges in Arizona. In most cases where an equivalent university course is offered, our ENG courses transfer directly to the applicable university. Department Elective credit is awarded when the course does not have a university equivalent or when the equivalent is offered as an upper‐division course. Some notable exceptions do occur that suggest a need for follow‐up information through our curriculum coordinator and/or the English Articulation Task Force. Our introduction to fiction, poetry and creative nonfiction courses transfer directly to NAU and ASU, but only receive departmental elective credit at UofA, despite the fact that they also offer similar courses. This could be a prerequisite discrepancy. In addition, our English Literature 1 course only receives elective credit at UofA, when it may be possible to receive departmental elective credit. (See Appendix K for supporting information.)
f. Program accreditation
If applicable, is the program accredited by a programmatic accrediting agency? If so, name the
agency and include the status of your most recent accreditation. This is not applicable to the
English program.

g. Teaching loads
Full‐time faculty are required to teach a minimum of fifteen load hours or five classes of three credits each. Each of the two full‐time Developmental Reading and English faculty teach four classes each semester. Each of the English and reading developmental courses are four hours credit. Full‐time faculty who teach transfer English courses have discussed reducing the load from five to four or reducing class sizes from the class cap of twenty‐four, due to the large amount of grading required for these courses. This concern has been discussed within the department and with the Dean, and it was also put on a wish list for the most recent Strategic Plan. However, at this time, no further action has been pursued, but faculty who teach transfer English would like to continue to discuss the pros and cons of these potential changes as well as pass it up the chain to the Dean of Arts and Sciences for further action.
The following are the ratios for full‐time versus part‐time faculty in Transfer English for the past five years:
2011‐12 Full‐time 4 (16%) Part time 21 (84%) 2012‐13 Full‐time 4 (17%) Part time 20 (83%) 2013‐14 Full‐time 4 (19%) Part time 17 (81%) 2014‐15 Full‐time 3 (15%) Part time 17 (85%) 2015‐16 Full‐time 2 (8%) Part time 23 (92%)
The following are the course loads for full‐time and part‐time faculty in Developmental English and Reading for the past five years:
2011‐12 Full‐time 32% Part time 68% 2012‐13 Full‐time 38% Part time 62% 2013‐14 Full‐time 48% Part time 52% 2014‐15 Full‐time 59% Part time 41% 2015‐16 Full‐time 62% Part time 38%
For the past five years, developmental Reading and English classes have had two full‐time faculty positions. Part‐time faculty positions have decreased from fourteen in 2011‐12, to six in 2015‐16, a decrease in over 50%. Full‐time faculty have taught eleven to sixteen sections in the past five years whereas part‐time faculty have taught from thirty‐three down to ten. In 2011‐12, full‐time faculty taught approximately 32% of the Developmental Reading and Writing courses. In 2015‐16, full‐time faculty taught 62% of the Developmental Reading and Writing courses. See Appendix A.
Like all full‐time faculty, English faculty are required to serve on a minimum of two committees in an effort to further improve the experiences and learning opportunities for students in degree‐seeking programs. They are also required to have five office hours per week. Full‐time faculty also are expected to attend division meetings and departmental meetings, and contribute to other duties as needed (i.e. complete program reviews, update course outlines, etc.). These are the basic requirements for full‐time faculty; our faculty often exceed these requirements. (See Program Strengths for some examples.)
207 | Coconino Community College Fall 2017 Assessment Report
C C C E n g l i s h P r o g r a m R e v i e w P a g e 9 | 15
In the 2015‐2016 academic year, one of the full‐time faculty in English obtained a position as an interim dean, with a reduced load of 9 credit hours per year. In the 2016‐2017 year, the interim dean position did not include teaching duties. There is currently no release time available for full‐time faculty, and the only requirements for part‐time faculty are for teaching their chosen courses and following institutional requirements.
The English department offers a mix of in‐person, hybrid, ITV, and online courses. Over the past few years the department has been able to provide more online courses for its creative writing classes, and there was even a proposal of an online creative writing certificate, but that proposal has not come to fruition yet. This is a curriculum addition that the Department would like to pursue in the future. ITV courses in ENG 272, Creative Nonfiction, have been run successfully. An ITV course was attempted with English 139: Introduction to Creative Writing, but the one student who was in Page withdrew from the course. In most scheduling decisions, online offerings have been preferred to ITV offerings when Page was unable to sustain an in‐person course at their campus. With the revamping of the Fourth Street Campus to an Innovation Center, more classes will be offered there starting in the 2017‐2018 academic year.
The ENG 095 course is taught both fall and spring semesters. Due to the nature of it being a lower level developmental course teaching combined reading and writing, it is not offered in the summer due to the abbreviated nature and fast‐pace of summer courses. ENG 100 and RDG 099 have each been available in a hybrid format for the 2016‐17 academic year. RDG 099 had one hybrid section in both fall and spring semesters and ENG 100 was offered as a hybrid in the spring semester. Both of these hybrid method courses will continue to be offered in the fall and spring semesters. There has been discussion of offering each course as an online course to help students in Page and other outlying areas complete a prerequisite to enter ENG 101. h. Faculty credentials
English faculty are credentialed by the HLC by having a Master’s Degree in English or related field. All English faculty credentials are detailed in Appendix H. The English department has not had difficulty finding instructors to meet the minimum qualifications. It is more difficult, however, to find instructors with additional educational backgrounds in reading.
III. Staff, Resources, Facilities, and Funds
a. Internal strengths of the program
Faculty are dedicated to their students and their professions. Within our English faculty are published authors, rhetoricians, editors of statewide discipline‐specific magazines, Phi Theta Kappa advisors, CCC student publications advisors, and members of Arizona Department of Education standards workgroups and curriculum development grants.

Collaborative environment: English department worked with departments campus‐wide to bring renowned southwest author Dagoberto Gilb to campus as part of the Northern Arizona Bookfest.
Implementation of the Writeplacer essay tool from Accuplacer for composition placement.
Although we haven’t collected data to assess the success of this placement tool, Writeplacer assesses many aspects of a student’s writing compared to the sentence skills test that was previously in place.
English 101 and 102 course outline modifications. In 2015‐2016, we saw an increase in success
rates for English 102 compared to the previous four years. (See Appendix I.)
Taking initiative to examine current course offerings and modify them to fit students’ changing needs is a definite strength of this department. Both lower level courses ENG 090 and RDG 089 were combined into one basic skills class relating more to the interdependent relationship between reading and writing, which also enables lower level developmental students to progress into transfer level English courses more quickly. ENG 095 also adopted an online learning component which focuses on individual skills and brings technology into the developmental classes. Creating hybrid courses for both ENG 100 and RDG 099 gives options to developmental students. The TRIO program and tutoring provide additional support for developmental students at the Lone Tree campus.
b. Internal weaknesses of the program
Low number of full‐time to part‐time ratio (see Appendix A). Note that the addition of one English faculty member has been proposed for FY 2017‐2018; however, due to the resignation of 1 full‐time faculty member, this position will not increase the number of full‐time faculty.
Lack of formal training for new part‐ and full‐time hires to provide teaching materials for the
English courses they are hired to teach.
Since department chairs were eliminated during a reorganization, the English department has developed its own structure to coordinate textbook selection and course scheduling methods to the AOCs. These methods have experienced some communication gaps and still need to be refined. Communication within the department has been enhanced through the establishment of monthly meetings in FY 16.
Challenges with communication that involves the English department affects decision‐making.
Some decisions regarding English curriculum and alignment were made without full‐time faculty input (textbook selection and usage, mentoring, and online course development). This communication breakdown impedes the department’s ability to make collective decisions, which may result in a disconnect with part‐time faculty and course inconsistencies.
Developmental English and Reading requested that these classes be taught for Flagstaff at the
Lone Tree Campus exclusively due to access to student resources (Trio, tutoring, student

services, IT Help) yet this was only granted for one year. Success rate data for this request are in Appendix I.
There exists a need to address class size caps for development and composition courses and
faculty load hours, which are more closely aligned with the National Council of Teachers of English recommendations.
c. List the recommendations from your last program review and any recommendations from
Program Advisory Committees (if applicable).
In the last program review a need for a long‐range plan for achieving goals was recommended, but has not been completed. CCC has undergone many changes in administration and leadership, so there has been a lack of communication in regards to a long‐range plan and /or goals specific to Developmental Reading and English to the two full‐time Developmental English and Reading faculty members, who are new since the last program review. A formal review of course outlines was also recommended and this was completed in 2015. A learning module focused on developmental education was being constructed at the time of the last program review, intended to help new developmental instructors understand their student population. The current full‐time developmental instructors are not aware of this module; if it was completed, it was not implemented or made widely available. Departmental recommendations further included a stronger tutoring and/or advising program to increase retention and student success, which is now available through the TRIO program and more available tutoring. The online tutoring tool, Smarthinking, will be available for English 100 students for the first time in Fall 2017. Another recommendation was for greater access to student computers for supervised “lab” work, testing, and instruction; the new ENG 095 now has an online learning component and computers for students in that class. Also, the implementation of a more accurate placement test for writing instruction was completed by replacing Accuplacer Sentence Skills with Writeplacer. As recommended in the 2010 program review, in Fall 2015, the ENG 101 and 102 course outlines were revised to provide students with a more consistent and effective transition from composition courses to other disciplines in which ENG 101 and ENG 102 are prerequisites or co‐requisites. In the 2010 program review, a concern was raised regarding inconsistent expectations regarding the use of technology between course sections. This concern has been lessened due to greater availability of computer carts and computer classrooms in our campuses. In addition, the new ENG 102 course outline requires that student compose in alternative formats, in accordance with WPA guidelines. Although the planned creative writing online certificate is not in place, foundational steps were taken. ENG 272, 271, 270, 139, 238, and 240 were all developed as online course offerings. As a result, the enrollment increased in most of these courses. (See Appendix I.)

IV. Analysis and Recommendations
a. Description of needs to conduct program, including space and equipment
Needs for Developmental English and Reading include the retention of one full‐time Developmental Reading instructor and one full‐time Developmental English instructor in order to ensure that the developmental courses have cohesion and consistency to best prepare students for transitioning into transfer English and other academic courses. Over the last five years, Developmental English and Reading courses have served 2517 students at CCC. The success rate has averaged 76%. (The higher skilled developmental courses RDG 099 served 1023 students at a 78.6% success rate and ENG 100 had 1110 students at a 78.4% success rate.) An area that has successfully served this many students need to have two full‐time faculty members who can collaborate and coordinate developmental students’ instructional needs. (See Appendix J.) In addition, Developmental Reading and English courses have shown higher success rates at the Lone Tree campus over the Fourth Street campus. The Flagstaff Lone Tree campus has more centralized support for students. Scheduling Developmental Reading and English classes in Flagstaff at the Lone Tree campus is therefore recommended. (See Appendix D.) Continued and advancement in instruction utilizing technology are necessary in order to best prepare developmental students for general education coursework. As mentioned earlier in the report, English students need access to computers in the classroom for research and composing purposes. This access has, at times, been difficult to obtain due to the number of courses needing these tools. This need will be monitored to see if it is being met. b. Assessment
In Spring 2013, the Strategic Plan Committee D met to discuss ways to improve student placement testing, and at the end of the semester, made the recommendation to replace the Accuplacer sentence skills test with the Writeplacer essay test. Since the English department and the College decided to change the English placement test, student success rates in English 101 have improved from 74.8% in 2013 to 81.8% in 2016. Of course, there are other factors beyond placement testing that have contributed to that 7% increase, but it seems that this change in placement testing has had a positive impact. The English department will continue to monitor placement testing for English 101 to make sure that the cut scores are reflecting the best possible chances for success in English 101 and 102. Accuplacer and Writeplacer are used for placement in Developmental Reading and English classes. ENG 095 students are also post‐tested on both tests. The results of the post‐tests for Fall 2016 are in Appendix B. Since the implementation of Writeplacer in 2013‐2014, the success rates for ENG 101 have increased. While the success rates for the previous two years had been 77.3% and 74.8%, the success rate for each year after implementation has been in the low 80% range (80.2%, 81.6% and 81.8%). (See Appendix I.) Because this increase is correlated with the switch to Writeplacer, it
211 | Coconino Community College Fall 2017 Assessment Report
C C C E n g l i s h P r o g r a m R e v i e w P a g e 13 | 15
is reasonable to surmise that accurate placement has positively affected the success rates in ENG 101. Informal classroom assessments include worksheets, quizzes, tests, essays and portfolios. During the 2016‐2017 academic year, the General Education Committee conducted an assessment of general education courses taught all by full‐time faculty and some part‐time faculty to begin to create a culture of critical thinking at the College. The Committee asked for faculty to submit an assignment that assesses critical thinking and then for the faculty member to use a standard rubric in Canvas to ascertain if students had learned important critical‐thinking concepts. The results were mostly promising because they showed that critical thinking is practiced in most English classes and that students are demonstrating some measure of critical thinking. However, there are obvious limitations to this assessment. Because there was no common critical thinking assignment among English faculty, there was no uniform standard for analyzing and evaluating the data for accuracy, applicability, and relevance. This is a problem that could be remedied in a future critical thinking assessment like this one. In addition, this assessment is only a beginning to inculcating a culture of critical thinking and to assessing the prevalence of critical thinking in English courses. The English department will take the following academic year to analyze what the data mean and how its results could be applied to improving future English classes. c. Challenges
As stated earlier, there is a need to include the retention of one full‐time Developmental Reading instructor and one full‐time Developmental English instructor in order to ensure that the developmental courses have cohesion and consistency to best prepare students for transitioning into transfer English and other academic courses. The Developmental Reading instructor is leaving and the position is being presented as an English position with knowledge in reading, rather than requiring any reading endorsement or certification in reading. If the Developmental Reading and English program is to keep working towards improving the college’s developmental courses to improve retention and completion rates, as well as ensure student success, there is a need for a full‐time Developmental Reading instructor whose main focus will be in developmental reading to collaborate with the Developmental English instructor to improve upon the courses offered for developmental students. Challenges in the Developmental Reading and English program are monitoring completion rates, since tracking developmental students pose challenges. Developmental students may transfer to another college or university, or may drop out due to personal or employment‐related issues. Although designed to help academically deficient students on track towards a job‐training certificate, an associate or four‐year college degree, developmental students face spending more time and more money toward these goals. The introduction of ENG 095 addressed this problem for the lower‐skilled developmental Reading and English students; however, investigation into accelerated basic‐skills classes for the higher skilled developmental students could further improve retention and success rates.
212 | Coconino Community College Fall 2017 Assessment Report
C C C E n g l i s h P r o g r a m R e v i e w P a g e 14 | 15
Department‐wide challenges, as well as action plans, are addressed in the goals section, below. The department plans to meet in the fall of 2017 to prioritize these goals and to set timelines for goal attainments. d. Summary of program
The adoption of using Writeplacer for placement is a more accurate assessment of student writing skills than the previously used Accuplacer Sentence Skills assessment. The increase in the success rate for ENG 101 could be attributed to this change. The collaboration that led to the combination of ENG 090 and RDG 089 into ENG 095 accelerated and improved upon the pathway for lower‐skilled developmental Reading and English students. This new course incorporated the use of technology in an individualized learning component that also introduces developmental students to the use of technology in the classroom. The new hybrid classes for RDG 099 and ENG 100 create an additional access point for non‐traditional and more advanced students who need alternative access to developmental classes. Changes to the ENG 101 and 102 course outlines have resulted in a smoother transition for students between ENG 101 and ENG 102. In an attempt to meet the weaknesses and challenges posed in this program review, the English department proposes the following goals:
Goal 1: Hire additional full‐time English faculty to create a more equitable ratio of full‐ to part‐time instructors. Goal 2: Hire a full‐time developmental reading teacher in order to ensure the stability and strengths of the developmental reading and English program. Goal 3: Research and discuss reduction of required course loads and/or cap sizes for transfer‐level full‐time faculty. Appendix L offers a start regarding class caps at institutions across the country. Goal 4: Research and discuss viability of developmental course offerings at 4th Street. Goal 5: Research the development of an English 101+ course, which includes curriculum from both ENG 101 and ENG 100 course outlines to serve students who require additional assistance with lower level writing skills. Goal 6: Review current literature course offerings and research the option of formally adopting writing intensive criteria into one or more courses.
213 | Coconino Community College Fall 2017 Assessment Report
C C C E n g l i s h P r o g r a m R e v i e w P a g e 15 | 15
Goal 7: Develop a departmental mentoring/training program for new and part‐time instructors. Goal 8: Review course offerings to determine viability. Goal 9: Provide a clear and consistent communication loop with part‐time faculty.
These goals will be finalized in the fall of 2017, when the department will prioritize them and create timelines.

Appendix L: Class Sizes for Writing Classes
Class Sizes for Writing Courses—Regular, Advanced, Honors, and Basic
For 310 Institutions
Self‐reported data collected through the Writing Program Administrators Listserv, 1998‐2015
Last updated Oct. 2015
Richard H. Haswell Haas Professor, Emeritus
Texas A&M University, Corpus Christi haswellcomppile at gmail dot com
How can a college administrator defend small class sizes in introductory writing courses? There are three main warrants: policy, research, practice.
Policy. For decades, the National Council of Teachers of English and the Conference on College Composition and Communication have recommended a cap of 20 students for regular composition and 15 for basic writing. See "Teaching composition: A position statement,"College English 46.6 (1984), 612-614; and "Statement of principles and standards for the postsecondary teaching of writing,"College Composition and Communication 40.3 (1989), 329-336, also available online. Possibly more persuasive to higher administrations is the fact that the US News & World Report now factors in smaller class size positively in their ratings of colleges and universities. In the category "Faculty Resources" "Class Size 1-19" accounts for 30% and "Class Size 1-50" for 10%. "Faculty Resources" accounts for 20% of the total rating. (These figures were last checked June 2007.)
Research. Trish Roberts-Miller, at the University of Texas, has a fine essay, "Class Size in College Writing Courses," that locates the problems and promises in defending small class size through research findings. She also provides a bibliography of 18 items, with some commentary. A piece by Sid Gilbert of the University of Guelph, with good references, argues that the interaction between personality of the teacher and class size is important. Alice Horning has an excellent review of the literature on class size and writing courses, "The Definitive Article on Class Size," in WPA Journal 31.1/2 (2007). The most extensive bibliography on class-size and the teaching of writing at the college level is in CompPile. Entering "class-size" into the Search Terms field (without the quotes but with the hyphen) will locate over 200 cites.
Practice may provide the most persuasive argument. The following list of self-reported enrollment caps in undergraduate writing courses was begun in 1998 by Greg Glau, at Arizona State University. The majority of items were submitted in January, 2004 through the Writing Program Administration listserv. Deany M. Cheramie provided some twenty more in March, 2004, and Emily Isaacs as many in June, 2004. Last update was August, 2014.Thanks to everybody. Send additions and corrections to me: haswellcomppile@gmail.com.
A hyphen means a range; e.g., "12-15" means the cap is from 12 to 15 students.
252 | Coconino Community College Fall 2017 Assessment Report
A slash means two different courses; e.g., "16/20 2nd semester" means the cap in the first semester course is 16 students and the cap in the second semester is 20 students. Note that basic writing has a column of its own.

2016‐2017 Program Review ‐ GEOLOGY (GLG)
Prepared by: Kurt Yuengling (Geology Faculty)
- Review of Program history prior to Fall 2016 semester, data range Fall 2011 to Fall 2016. - The preparer of this Program Review was not employed by CCC prior to Fall 2016.
REVIEW ITEM CRITERIA
I. OVERVIEW a. Narrative 1) State the purpose of the program and any contributions to the community.
The main purpose of the Geology program is to provide introductory Earth Science courses exposing students to the Earth’s materials, processes, hazards, and history. These courses also fit the General Education Lab Science requirements for CCC students and our transfer institutions. More specialized elective courses permit students and the community to learn more about the local geology and famous landscapes in our region.
2) Define what sets this program apart from other similar programs.
The Geology courses at CCC serve a different audience than many of the other science disciplines at CCC. Unlike Biology, this program does not act as a foundation or “gatekeeper” to into any occupational programs (such as nursing). Unlike Chemistry and Physics, there are no math pre‐requisites for our courses. Therefore, many students with math and science phobias find these courses more approachable when it comes to Gen‐Ed science requirements.
3) State how long has the program existed.
Program History: the first GLG courses were created in Fall 1991. Four additional courses added over 15 years. See timeline below (based on Course Outlines on CCC website):
GLG 101 Physical Geology – Dec 1991 GLG 112 Geology of the Grand Canyon – Dec 1991 GLG 102 Historical Geology – May 1993 GLG 105 Intro. to Planetary Science – Oct 1998 GLG 232 Geology of the Colorado Plateau – Oct 2004 GLG 110 Natural Disasters – Mar 2005
4) State when the last program review was completed. 5) Provide a summary of changes since last program review. 6) Summarize any initiatives the program has taken on since the last program review.
This is the first program review of Geology.
267 | Coconino Community College Fall 2017 Assessment Report
b. Program goals 1) List the program goals clearly and concisely.
- To provide students and the community with an understanding and appreciation of the landscapes, resources, hazards, and natural history of our planet.
- To provide lab science courses to satisfy General Education requirements. - To give students interested in the Earth Sciences the foundational skills, knowledge, and coursework required
to transfer on for a bachelor’s degree.
2) Describe how the program goals are tied to the institutional mission statement.
“As a learning college, we enrich lives by embracing diversity and transforming the future through quality education.”
Geology courses at CCC teach students about the local geology as well as global environmental issues and processes. GLG courses lack math pre‐requisites and most may be used to satisfy General Education requirements; this makes them very accessible for incoming students and those with science and math anxieties. The courses are also designed with transferability in mind.
c. Staffing of the program 1) Provide a summary of overall staffing organization of the program.
From inception through Spring 2016 semester, courses had been taught exclusively by part‐time faculty. Starting Fall 2016 semester, there will be one full time Geology Faculty member and at least two part‐time faculty. Faculty were supported by the Science Lab Coordinator (ordering supplies and helping with field trip logistics), the Department Head* (curricular changes and new course proposals), and the Dean. Additional staff were employed on a temporary basis to help drive vans during field trips.
*CCC’s current administrative structure no longer uses department heads. d. Decision Making 1) Describe the decision making process within the program.
Geology faculty members would discuss changes among themselves and then work with their department chair or dean to implement changes. Changes that may impact other programs (Environmental Studies or Colorado Plateau Studies) were discussed with larger groups.
2) Describe how the program gathers input and responds to those inputs.
This is the first program review of Geology and the preparer is new to CCC.
3) Define any outside agencies that inform decision making and their scope. Most of the courses in this Program are used to fulfill General Education lab science course requirements. Transfer institutions, especially NAU, heavily influence course content/objectives/outcomes/topics when creating or evaluating a course.
e. Summary of student assessment results 1) Define the types of assessment used in the program. 2) Summarize changes made due to assessment results about student learning outcomes.
- Faculty receive student feedback via Course Evaluations on Canvas. - In Fall 2016, course outcomes and General Educations outcomes will be linked for each GLG course. Starting
Fall 2016, these Critical Thinking will be assessed in GLG courses taught by the full time faculty member. - After the 2016‐2017 academic year, a review and improvement of the course outcomes will occur (several have
over 15 outcomes).
268 | Coconino Community College Fall 2017 Assessment Report
f. Statement of program's accomplishments in support of the current strategic plan 1) Provide the goals from the strategic plan that the program contributes to.
Goal 1: CCC will provide learners educational opportunities that are accessible and affordable, while also being
economically feasible for the college. Goal 2: CCC will promote a learner‐centered environment that incorporates innovative strategies and support
structures intended to reduce student attrition and increase retention. Goal 3: CCC will empower students to achieve their individual learning goals and implement strategies to increase
certificate and degree completion rates. Goal 4: CCC will strengthen the College’s working environment by maximizing college resources, expanding
community outreach, and implementing effective personnel management and employee development strategies.
Specific Goal.Objective: 1.1, 2.2, 2.4, 3.4, 4.1, 4.2, 4.6, and 4.7.
2) Provide evidence on how the program has been contributing to the strategic plan.
- The GLG program provides several General Education science courses to CCC students. These courses (GLG 101, 105, 110) have no pre‐requisites; incoming CCC students have the opportunity to take a science course immediately.
- GLG courses are offered during the day, at night, and online providing a wide variety of options for students. Future Hybrid offerings will allow students to take a 4 credit class while meeting only once per week in person.
- By creating a designated Geology Lab we are creating more effective teaching environment (proper space and supply storage).
- The hiring of a full time faculty member aids student learning (designated office hours) and creates a “lead instructor” position to work on curriculum development, new initiatives and community outreach, and to act as a mentor/liaison for part time GLG faculty.
g. Description of current facilities needed to conduct program, including space and equipment 1) Describe any designated space that is provided to support the program since the last program review. 2) Describe any designated equipment purchased to support the program since the last program review. 3) Observations on how the facilities and equipment contribute to the goals of the program.
This is the first program review of Geology. Currently all GLG courses are taught in traditional classrooms, not designated lab spaces. Samples and lab materials are stored in cabinets in Room 517, not a separate storeroom/prep space. Instructional supplies include maps, posters, field equipment (rock hammers, magnifying glasses, acid bottles), and samples (rocks, minerals, and fossils). Ideally, these courses would be taught in a space more appropriate for labs (no carpeting, water sources, adequate space to move among tables, power supplies for computers) and there would be a separate space for sample storage and lab preparation.
II. TEACHING AND LEARNING a. Program requirements and course offerings 1) Provide a review of the courses and class descriptions
See Appendix A: Courses and class descriptions. 2) Provide degree and certifications that the program contributes to.
See Appendix B: Degree and Certifications that the Geology program contributes to (including transfer tables). 3) Provide the outcomes of the degrees and certifications.
See Appendix B: Degree and Certifications that the Geology program contributes to (including transfer tables). 4) Insert a table of courses, sections, enrollments, and tuition
See Appendix C: Table of courses, sections, enrollments, and tuition (provided by IR). 269 | Coconino Community College Fall 2017 Assessment Report

*GLG 102 and GLG 232 have been taught at the same time (“one room schoolhouse” approach).
Comments: Over the past five years, the enrollment numbers indicate that enrollment has met or exceeded the recommended 24 students in a lab course. While GLG 102 and 232 numbers look low, they were taught in the same space at the same time, so enrollment/section numbers should be combined.

2015‐16 $ 92,000 $ 15,000
5 year totals $ 41,1088 $ 81,072
How have the Course Fees or Differential Tuition funds been allocated?
Based on conversations with Science Lab Coordinator Anna Novak and Dean Jeff Jones, the budget for GLG courses covered three areas:
- Field trips – van rentals and gas allowing for two field trips per class section. - Supplies – for purchasing field and lab equipment, samples, fossil specimens, etc. - Copier/Duplicating Services.
270 | Coconino Community College Fall 2017 Assessment Report
Siri Mullaney (Dean of Finance) provided itemized budgets (planned and actual) for GLG courses for Fiscal Years 2015 (2014‐2015) and 2016 (2015‐2016) – see appendix C. GLG courses over the past 5 years have collected $14,000 to $21,000 per year from students. GLG budgets over the past 2 years (2014‐15, 2015‐16) have been significantly less that these numbers: $4500‐$5600 budgeted, $2900‐$3800 actually spent on the three areas identified above.
6) Relate any closely related industry market trends or university/college enrollments if applicable. Prior to the next program review, this data may be available from the Geology ATF. b. Industry standard certifications for students (If applicable) 1) Discuss the credentials students will be able to obtain upon completion. 2) Outline the requirements for each credential. 3) Discuss any impediments to the student obtaining the credentials.
There are no credentials or certifications in this discipline at the community college level. c. Course outlines reviewed and updated 1) Define how often course outlines are reviewed and updated. 2) Discuss changes made to the course outcomes since the last program review and the effects the changes have had on the program as a whole.
This is the first program review of Geology and the preparer is new to CCC. d. Curriculum 1) Describe any curricular changes since the last program review. 2) Note any impending course changes. 3) Describe the effects on the program that these curricular changes have made.
This is the first program review. Course changes that are planned or will be implemented soon: - Starting 2016‐2017 academic year – GLG 102 and GLG 232 will no longer be taught at the same time, they will
be taught as separate offerings. - Starting Fall 2017 – GLG 102 will have a pre‐requisite of GLG 101 or instructor permission. - GLG 232 may be redesigned to be a cap‐stone experience course for students interested in majoring in geology.
e. Articulation 1) Provide an introductory paragraph detailing how the courses transfer within Arizona. 2) Note any concerns of courses that are only transferable as electives or non‐transferable. 3) Provide a transfer table of the courses within the certificates and degrees offered in the program (Appendix B).
Most of the GLG sections offered at CCC are aimed at students fulfilling General Education Lab Science requirements. Several of the courses transfer/correspond to similar courses at NAU, ASU, and UA (see appendix B). Higher numbered courses are focused on the local geology of Northern Arizona and satisfy program requirements at CCC (Colorado Plateau Studies and Environmental Studies) or transfer as elective credits. - GLG 101 Physical Geology is taught at colleges throughout Arizona. The name, alpha/number, and course
outline have been extensively discussed at Geology ATF (Articulation Task Force) meetings. This course may be for “non‐majors” (Gen Ed) or the first course for Geology majors.
- GLG 102 is taught at NAU, Yavapai College, and others as the second half of a one year geology sequence (with 101).
- GLG 110 Natural Disasters is a popular non‐science major, General Education course at NAU. 271 | Coconino Community College Fall 2017 Assessment Report
- GLG 112 Geology of the Grand Canyon is a 2 credit, 6 day field trip based course giving students and the public the opportunity to explore the geologic history of the Grand Canyon.
- GLG 115 Intro. to Planetary Studies is an introductory course combining elements of Earth Science (geology) and Astronomy. This draws on the rich history of planetary studies and discovery in Flagstaff (Lowell Observatory and the USGS).
- GLG 232 Geology of the Colorado Plateau is an introductory geology course (no pre‐requisites) which focuses on the local geology and is part of the Colorado Plateau Studies program.
f. Program accreditation 1) If applicable, describe if the program accredited by a programmatic accrediting agency. If so, name the agency and include the status of the most recent accreditation.
There is no programmatic accrediting agency for this discipline. g. Teaching workloads and delivery methods 1) Provide a percentage breakdown of course loads for full‐time and part‐time faculty.
From Fall 2011 through Spring 2016 semester, courses had been taught exclusively by 4 to 5 part‐time faculty. See Appendix D for names, credentials, and loads. Starting Fall 2016 semester, there will be one full time Geology Faculty member and at least two part‐time faculty.
2) Discuss the responsibilities and workloads of the full‐time faculty.
There were no full‐time faculty prior to Fall 2016
3) Discuss the responsibilities and workloads of the part‐time faculty. Faculty taught courses and worked with department heads when revising course outlines or choosing textbooks. Faculty worked with the Science Lab Coordinator to purchase instructional supplies and organize vehicle and facility rentals for field trips.
4) Discuss the delivery methods of the courses. Most course offerings were taught at the Lone Tree campus; in recent summer semesters a section of GLG 101 was offered online.
5) Discuss any release time of the full‐time faculty. There were no full‐time faculty prior to Fall 2016
h. Faculty credentials 1) State the basic credentials needed for faculty of this program. 2) Note any concerns regarding faculty credentialing. 3) Include a table of instructors and credentials or certifications (Appendix D).
Based on information in Appendix D provided by IR, faculty had graduate degrees in Geology or Earth Science. In 2016 faculty credentials were evaluated with respect to current HLC requirements.
272 | Coconino Community College Fall 2017 Assessment Report
III. STAFF, RESOURCES, FACILITIES, and FUNDS a. Internal strengths of the program 1) Discuss the internal strengths of the program. Provide evidence and data to support answers.
Many of the courses have been well planned with regard to transferability. The location of CCC makes field trips to see a variety of geologic processes and rock types easy to deliver in a short period of time (during class time). CCC’s location also makes it an ideal place to offer classes that take place in the field rather than the classroom. There is a wide variety of samples of rocks, minerals, and fossils available for use during class.
b. Internal weaknesses of the program 1) Discuss the internal weaknesses of the program. Provide evidence and data to support answers.
Prior to Fall 2016, all sections were taught by part‐time faculty. While the quality of instruction may have been high, any program review, course revisions, and assessment activities requires these faculty to donate time or the administration to fund release time. Similarly, these faculty would essentially have been donating time for any activities outside of the classroom such as office hours or extra help for students. Science department meetings may or may not have had a representative from Geology, CCC may or may not have had a representative at Geology ATF meetings.
c. List recommendations received since last program review or Program Advisory Committee 1) List recommendations that were received at the last program review. 2) List any recommendations from Program Advisory Committees (if applicable). 3) Elaborate on any actions taken on recommendations and effect on the program. 4) If no action was taken on a recommendation, describe why no action was taken.
This is the first program review.
IV. ANALYSIS and RECOMMENDATIONS a. Description of needs to conduct program, including space and equipment 1) Provide the specific structures and supports (technology, facilities, etc.) the students need to be successful in the courses. 2) Elaborate on future needs of the program detailing how this will lead to student success in the program.
Instructional/Lab/Storage/Prep Spaces – Plans are underway to move the Geology courses into a designated space with stronger tables, proper flooring surfaces, appropriate safety equipment, and a separate space for sample storage and lab preparation. Instructional Supplies/Samples – For a typical class of 24 students, the program should have at least 8 sets of samples for each lab assignment (groups of 3). The fossil specimens in particular should be expanded in variety and number such that GLG 102 labs transition from “show and tell” to small groups working with individual specimens. These improvements will provide a more hands‐on experience. Closing the gap between the GLG budget and the Differential Tuition fees collected should be a priority over the next year in preparation for the next budget proposal. Increasing the GLG budget to match incoming student course fees would allow us to improve instructional supply inventories.
273 | Coconino Community College Fall 2017 Assessment Report
b. Assessment 1) Provide detailed descriptions on types of assessment used to measure student learning. 2) Describe any course‐level and/or program‐level assessments that were conducted and results since the last program review. 3) Report any shared assessments within the program and data gathered from those assessment. 4) Record any observations or trends found within the student assessment data.
This is the first program review. No assessments relating course outcomes and general education outcomes occurred prior to Fall 2016. Appendix F includes preliminary data for Fall 2016 assessment. Timeline for future assessment activites: - Fall 2016, course outcomes and General Educations outcomes will be linked for each GLG course. - 2016 ‐ 2017, Critical Thinking will be assessed in GLG courses taught by the full time faculty member. - 2017 ‐ 2018 academic year, a review and improvement of the course outcomes should occur (several have over
15 outcomes). c. Challenges 1) Provide any challenges that the program has faced since the last program review and the results 2) Provide any challenges the program is facing now and provide the current plan of action 3) Discuss any challenges for the students completing a certificate or degree
This is the first program review. Between now and the next program review, our main goal is to take this list of separate GLG courses and create a program or sequence of courses. Some specific concerns/changes: - GLG 101 Physical Geology and GLG 102 Historical Geology were taught as single, separate courses. This means
that GLG 102 instructors had to commit a third of the semester to covering foundational material taught in GLG 101 (rocks, minerals, plate tectonics). Many schools (including our transfer institutions) treat these as a year‐long sequence. Starting Fall 2017, GLG 102 will have a pre‐req of GLG 101. This will undoubtedly pull down enrollment in GLG 102, but it also gives us the opportunity to have students interested in Geology start at CCC and transfer to NAU.
- GLG 232 Geology of the Colorado Plateau has traditionally been taught at the same time as GLG 102, in the same classroom. This “one‐room schoolhouse” approach may have helped with enrollment numbers (allowing the course to go), but it should be offered on its own. Also, 200 level courses are traditionally taught to sophomore level students in a program and have pre‐requisites. This course could be reworked to be a second year field based, capstone experience for students who have taken GLG 101‐102.
- Environmental Studies and Colorado Plateau Studies both require GLG 102 or GLG 232. The changes above would add hidden pre‐requisites and may not fit the vision of these programs. Future discussions with faculty and administration overseeing these programs is required.
- GLG 1xx – Environmental Geology (new course). A new course focused on humans and the Earth (the Earth as a resource, geologic hazards, and human impacts on the Earth) would fit in well at CCC:
- another general education science course (better alternative to GLG 102). Topics related to current news and policies.
- GLG faculty should work with BIO faculty teaching Environmental Biology to create a year‐long sequence of courses that would complement each other rather than cover the similar topics.
- This course would/could replace GLG 101/232 in the Environmental Science and Colorado Plateau Studies Programs.
- GLG 112 Geology of the Grand Canyon has had low enrollments. Future review of this class should include: the number of credits/length, the times of year it is offered, the format of delivery (combine class time during the semester with a capstone field trip?). With the variety of rocks in the canyon and the long geologic history exposed, it may be possible to design a similar course that covers the topics in GLG 101 and gives an alternative field based option to earn gen‐ed credit for GLG 101…

d. Summary of Significant Developments 1) Provide a clear summary of the program as a whole (successes, challenges, and future actions).
CCC has successfully offered and filled 6 to 8 sections of GLG courses each fall and spring semester. Also, field based courses such as The Geology of the Grand Canyon have successfully run in summer semesters. This is impressive for a community college this size. CCC is perfectly located to explore and teach in a wide range of geologic environments. Challenges (inadequate teaching/prep spaces and lack of full‐time faculty) will been addressed over the 2016‐2017 school year. Future projects include: curriculum/course review (building a Geology “major” and improving outcomes/assessment), improving instructional supplies and expanding sample collections, and increasing field experiences in courses.
V. Appendix documents a. Appropriate appendices added 1) Ensure there are appendices when indicated by narrative. 2) Ensure the appendices add support to program review document. 3) Ensure the appendix has the following at a minimum: Review of courses and class descriptions, Degrees and certifications that the program contributes to, Outcomes of degrees and certifications, Transfer table of the program's courses, Table of instructors and credentials or certifications.

Mathematics Department Program Review Coconino Community College
Submitted 9/15/17 I. OVERVIEW a. Narrative
The CCC Math Program provides a sequence of math courses for students needing either review
of pre-college level topics, college level topics, and/or degree core math content. Math courses are
required in 35 degrees and 8 certificates offered by the college and are a core component of our General
Education sequence. CCC provides developmental courses for students entering college with reduced
mastery, offering the necessary course sequence for students to achieve success in college level courses.
This sequence consists of three math courses, 088, 091, and 097. There are also two support courses
MAT 010 and 111 for students currently enrolled in math. Additionally, courses designed to provide the
first two years of Mathematics degree as well as support courses for many science and Engineering
pathways are offered up to and including Differential Equations. These courses are a cluster of eleven
college level math courses that transfer to all three state universities. There are six one hundred level
courses and five two hundred level courses. For Associate of Arts degrees, one math course is needed
for graduation and the requirement is MAT 140/142-College Mathematics or higher. For Associate of
Science degrees, MAT 220-Calculus I is the minimum requirement for graduation. For the ABUS degree,
MAT 211 –Business Calculus is the required course for graduation. Additionally, eight of our 27
certificates have a required math course or have courses with math prerequisites in them.
At first glance, our mathematics program may seem like any other community college math
program in the state. However, as a department, we have always strived to offer the most current
course content recognized nationally, incorporating varied delivery methods and pedagogy, and
applying the Best Practices of our national mathematics organizations. This dedication to the cutting
edge of math education is evidenced by the active participation of our faculty throughout the existence
of the college. Full-time faculty are involved in national, regional, and local mathematics organizations,
initiatives, businesses, and consortiums.
A few of the ways that the program gathers input is by this active participation in numerous
organizations, companies, and groups. Recent participation (within the last 5 years) includes but is not
limited to:
● American Mathematical Association of Two Year Colleges (AMATYC) Kate Kozak is currently a
regional Vice President and is running for president of this national organization. In addition, she
has been the national newsletter editor.
● Arizona Mathematical Association of two year colleges (ArizMATYC) Jennifer Jameson is
currently the Arizmatyc treasurer and has been for the last two years. Additionally, multiple
full-time faculty have held various leadership positions in this organization including president,
secretary, newsletter editor, and delegate.
● FUSD/CCC/NAU Consortium. This group is a local organization that discusses issues relating to
helping students transition between High School, Community College and the University. This
group started in 2014. Multiple full-time faculty participate in this group on a regular basis.
1
333 | Coconino Community College Fall 2017 Assessment Report
● Noyce Grant. Kim Sonier has taken the lead on this in collaboration with NAU. This grant
encourages students to become STEM content educators.
● Indigenous Studies Grant. Maxie Inigo and Bryan Bates participated in this grant for two years
and developed curriculum design specifically for Native American students. Course were taught
in collaboration with the NAU Indigenous studies program.
● Sustaining Quantitative Reasoning in Arizona Grant. Jennifer Jameson participated in a
statewide grant sponsored through NAU that helped develop materials for the MAT 140/142
courses with community colleges and high schools.
● NSF StatPREP Grant - Kate Kozak is a co-PI on this grant is to train community college and
university statistics teachers to teach statistics utilizing data centric methods of statistical
analysis.
● MyMathLab. Maya Lanzetta developed and modified course shells including standardized
homework for all CCC developmental math courses. She maintained the integrity of course
content and brought the developmental pedagogy into the new millennium. She works closely
with the Pearson publishing company.
● Open Source textbooks. The department utilizes two open source textbooks written by full-time
faculty members: Statistics Using Technology written by Kate Kozak and College Mathematics
for Everyday Life written by Inigo, Jameson, Kozak, Lanzetta, and Sonier. These textbooks save
our students hundreds of dollars each semester in addition to providing curricula that is current
and relevant locally.
● MyOpenMath. The free math software is utilized in multiple courses. Maya Lanzetta and Phil
Martinez have begun to use this instead of MyMathLab in some developmental courses in an
effort to save students money while providing sound and appropriate content. Additionally, this
program is used in the MAT 140 course to deliver the Intermediate Algebra content (developed
by Jennifer Jameson and Kate Kozak)
● HAWKES Learning. Phil Martinez and Maya Lanzetta are piloting this software in Intermediate
Algebra. HAWKES is another publishing company.
● Supplemental Instruction. This program began in collaboration with NAU in 2010. It has evolved
into a very beneficial student support structure. Phil Martinez has managed this program for
the past few years and expanded it to its current state. It is free to our students and offers a
one-on-one support system that other tutoring structures have not duplicated. Phil collaborates
with internal and external student support departments.
As you can see, the math department takes great pride in providing a math program that is
exemplary. Faculty in our department take the education of our students seriously.
Changes since the last program review in 2012 are many. A major program change is the
elimination of a mathematics department chair position. The department still has regular meetings and
has divided up the chair workload among full-time faculty with the exception of hiring part-time faculty.
Math faculty regularly volunteer on hiring committees but do not have final input on new hires in the
department. Distribution of departmental guidelines, CANVAS math course access, and standardized
materials is still being worked on and a process for consistent distribution is in development.

334 | Coconino Community College Fall 2017 Assessment Report
Numerous curricular and pedagogical changes have also been made in an effort to provide a
streamlined curricula in keeping with national trends, provide students with affordable textbooks and
course materials, and deliver cutting edge strategies to support students and their learning.
b. Program goals
In past program reviews, the math department employed two mission statements:
1. The CCC Developmental Math Program provides a sequence of math course for those students
needing review of pre-college level topics. The mission statement is:
“To ensure that students may enter college level courses with the skills necessary for success by
increasing their mastery of prerequisite mathematics skills and encouraging a positive attitude towards
mathematics.”
2. The mission statement for the Transfer Math Program is similar to the one for the
developmental math program and is as follows.
“To ensure that students exit college level courses with the competencies necessary for success by
increasing their mastery of mathematics skills and encouraging a positive attitude towards
mathematics.”
These mission statements clearly illustrate our goals to deliver a program that;
1. Provides students with the opportunity to increase mastery of developmental math skills.
2. Encourages the development of a positive and practical attitude towards mathematics.
3. Provide the opportunity for students to exit CCC with mastery of mathematics skills necessary
for them to succeed in their next endeavor.
4. Provide an economical and cutting edge program with which to accomplish the previous goals.
It is self-evident that these goals support the college’s mission: As a learning college, we enrich lives by embracing diversity and transforming the future through quality education. The math department embraces the learning college concept because each member takes responsibility
for making the program better through collegial engagement, collaboration, participation, and
communication within our department, college-wide, locally and nationally.
c. Staffing of the program
Currently, the CCC math department has seven full-time math faculty, 12 part-time math
faculty, and three supplemental instructors. Part-time math faculty are hired by the AOC’s in
collaboration with the Dean and full-time faculty that are able to participate. In the past year, the
Credentialing Committee has created guidelines for qualifications for hiring faculty that has begun
implementation Fall 2017.
The supervisor of the math faculty is the Dean of Learning Arts and Sciences. Faculty mentors are there
to help new part-time math faculty. Supplemental instruction employees are hired by a full-time faculty
person.

335 | Coconino Community College Fall 2017 Assessment Report
d. Decision Making
The mathematics program has been in existence since the creation of the college in 1992. From
its inception, the department has made decisions using the consensus model. We have semi-monthly
department meetings and there is frequent communication between the faculty, part-time faculty, and
the dean.
The last program review was submitted in 2012 with participation from institutional research and math
department. It examined the transfer level mathematics program. Changes since the last program
review include:
1. Elimination of Math department chair
2. Elimination of the full-time math faculty position on the Page campus. The faculty member was
transferred to the Lone Tree campus to teach math.
3. Creation of a new full-time math faculty position on the Lone Tree campus that was filled Fall 17.
4. Review of all course outlines with regard to Assessment of course outcomes
5. Review and modification of MAT 140/142 course outcomes
6. Alignment of General Education math course outcomes with General Education program
outcomes
7. Development of open source textbooks to help students financially
8. Implementation of MyMathLab, MyOpenMath, and other online math software programs for
student homework and/or course content delivery
9. Modification of developmental math sequence and courses including combining two courses to
create MAT 088, combining two courses to create MAT 140 to reflect best practices nationwide.
10. Continual improvement of course content, program alignment, course transfer and offerings via
participation in Math Articulation Task Force (ATF)
11. Continual improvement of support materials for full and part-time math faculty including the
creation of a CANVAS shell with the following documents for each course.
a. Chapter coverage
b. Grading guidelines
c. Course outline
d. Sample syllabi
e. Sample calendar
f. Instructions for MyMathLab, MyOpenMath, Hawkes, Graphing Calculator, or other
technical support
12. Continual improvement of communication by posting minutes and other important information
in the CANVAS shell.
13. Improvement of assessment reporting through CANVAS
14. Participation in various math grants to improve pedagogy
15. Participation in various grants to improve STEM student participation in STEM professions and
education
16. Additional participation in local STEM organization like STEM night at NAU, Science in the Park,
and CCC night for the Festival of Science.
17. Participation in local, regional and national math organizations to improve our program. (this
has been ongoing but there are a few new collaborations)
4
336 | Coconino Community College Fall 2017 Assessment Report
18. Discontinuation of the NAU/CCC developmental Math program. CCC taught the Introductory
and Intermediate Algebra course for NAU students on the NAU campus from 1992-Spring 2013. NAU
discontinued the program because they implemented a computerized course delivering the
developmental content. CCC faculty helped them develop this new course.
19. Integrated the statistical software R into the Introduction to Statistics classes to give students
experience with software that is used in many fields.
20. Integrated the programming platform MATLAB into Differential Equations and Introduction to
Programming for Scientists and Engineers to give students experience with software that is used in
engineering, math and the sciences.
Although there are no agencies that dictate how we should organize, design, implement and assess our
program, we gather as much input from resources throughout the nation to provide information for
success. These organizations have been mentioned previously.
e. Summary of student assessment results
See assessment section below.
f. Statement of program's accomplishments in support of the current strategic plan The Math department has supported the current Strategic Goals in the following ways.
Goal 2: CCC will promote a learner-centered environment that incorporates innovative strategies and
support structures intended to reduce student attrition and increase retention.
1. We have produced and utilized affordable course materials
2. We have reduced the number of developmental courses need for students to complete degree
requirements
3. We have continued collaboration and participation in Math ATF, university math departments,
and our National organizations to provide course content that is relevant and practical for student to
complete degrees.
Goal 3: CCC will empower students to achieve their individual learning goals and implement strategies to
increase certificate and degree completion rates.
1. We have produced and utilized affordable course materials
2. We have reduced the number of developmental courses need for students to complete degree
requirements
3. We have implemented on-line homework so students can receive immediate feedback and take
control of their own learning.
Goal 4: CCC will strengthen the College’s working environment by maximizing college resources,
expanding community outreach, and implementing effective personnel management and employee
development strategies.
1. We have developed a collaborative solution to the reduced leadership and personnel in our
department through creative management and faculty participation.
5
337 | Coconino Community College Fall 2017 Assessment Report
2. We have developed and implemented ways for faculty and employees to access and share
information created by the math department.
3. We participate in local, regional, and national organizations to improve communication, course
content, pedagogy, and collaboration using the Learning College model.
g. Description of current facilities needed to conduct program, including space and equipment
Designated math classrooms include, but are not limited to, rooms 107, 460, 509, and 518 on
the Lone Tree campus and rm B 34 on the 4th St campus
Rooms 460 and 509 are best suited for the needs of our math faculty. They include ample white board
space, a Cartesian coordinate system whiteboard, an overhead projector and a smart board. They are
also large rooms that can accommodate the most students. With the exception of the occasional
excessive noise from an adjacent class in room 509, these two rooms are the best suited for our needs.
Room 518 is small, has two large white boards that are largely covered by the projector screen if the projector is in use. There is currently no smart board nor Cartesian plane in this room, but it could
use them. This room also has noise issues from adjacent classrooms. A Cartesian whiteboard was added
to the classroom. It needs to be moved to the front of the classroom.
Mobile chair desks, which easily allow the students to move their desks into groups, may be
useful in room 518 as it is the classroom most often utilized by the department for developmental math
classes. Room 460 would also be a good candidate for these desks due to the side whiteboards being
more useful than the ones in the front of the classroom.
Room 107 has two large white boards, an overhead projector screen in the corner and a
smartboard. The room is a little bit smaller and is used as a computer classroom. Due to the computers
on the desks in front of each student it can be difficult to see the lower half of the boards in the front of
the room. A platform in front of the room in 107 would allow access to the upper quarter of the white
boards and would be a recommended addition to the room. The computers are helpful in MAT 241,
160, and 140 as they use the computers readily during class time. A Cartesian plane whiteboard will be
added to this room soon.
Rm B34 on the 4th St. campus is a large tiered classroom that can accommodate at least 40
students. It has 2 large white boards that are covered by the projector screen if the projector is in use.
It doesn’t have a Cartesian plane or a smart board.
The Cartesian planes were recently purchased and are very useful as we develop lessons that
pertain to graphing.
The smart boards are used by many of the faculty as a way to deliver lecture notes to students
who need that accommodation and for students who may have been absent or just need the refresher.
White boards are critical in math classrooms as the intensive algebra development of our
lessons can take up 2 or 3 boards at once.
All of the designated math classrooms on the Lone Tree campus have graphing calculator
software on our computers to project step-by-step use of the graphing calculators in class.
Other classrooms used by the math department suffice in a pinch, but often lack the Cartesian planes,
board space, or smart boards that have become more commonly used by our math faculty.
Due to the use of computers in MAT 261, 241, 160 and 140 and the number of sections of each
course, we would also like to consider the addition of another computer room for use by the math
faculty.

In 2014 Dean Ingrid Lee requested that the math department go through and review all course
outlines that had not been reviewed in the last five years. The math department fully completed this
request in 2014. While creating this document the math department found that this review in 2014 was
not reflected on the publicly posted course outlines. To rectify this, the math department has
re-reviewed MAT 111, MAT 220, MAT 230, and MAT 241. A note that the courses have been reviewed
will be added to the top of the course outlines. MAT 142 and MAT 172 have had changes to the course
19
351 | Coconino Community College Fall 2017 Assessment Report
outline that have been passed through curriculum in FA16/SP17 so the review date being added to the
posted outline is pending.
ii. Changes to course outcomes MAT 091/MAT 096/MAT 097
A different edition of the textbook for these three classes was adopted in 2014 which included a
rearranging of sections. Most of these course outcome changes are due to this rearrangement of the
book.
MAT 091: “Verify solutions to algebraic expressions” and “Use interval notation to describe solutions to
inequalities” were added to course outcomes.
MAT 096 / MAT 097: “Perform function evaluation and identify domain and range” and “Perform
operations on functions including finding the inverse” were added. “Graph linear inequalities in 2
dimensions” and “Solve and graph absolute value equations” were removed.
The effect of the changes to MAT 091 / MAT 096 / MAT 097 has been to improve the continuity of the
courses. Otherwise, these changes have had no effect on the program as a whole.
MAT 140 MAT 140 was created within the last five years. It was created to include all of the curriculum from MAT
142, College Mathematics, and also include remedial material from MAT 096, Intermediate Algebra. This
way, students could complete both the developmental and the college level
classes at once and save time and money. The class has been successful as shown below in its success
rates. The success rates in MAT 140 are actually higher than those of MAT 142 over the last several
years. The Mathematics ATF agreed to articulate MAT 140 as a transfer course equivalent with MAT 142.
The class is very popular with the students as well.
MAT 142 The MAT 142 course outcomes were updated to more clearly represent the statewide agreed curriculum
for that course. The agreed upon topics have not changed, but the outcomes were re-worded in 2016 to
be more clear and to better communicate to the students what they will be learning in the course. This
change has been helpful with teacher and student clarity about what the course entails, but the actual
content of the course has not changed in the last five years.
MAT 187 Previously, polar, systems of inequalities, sequences and summation notation were required topics in
MAT 187. The math department moved these topics to an optional category so that instructors would
have the option to cover the arguably more important topics of vectors and matrices. MAT 187 is a
prerequisite to physics courses. Additionally, the factor theorem and divisibility was added as Changes
were added to the course outcomes to reflect the above changes in content.
The changes to MAT 187 were intended to potentially improve a student’s readiness for physics while
not sacrificing exposure to math topics beyond trigonometry. These changes have had no effect on the
program as a whole.
20
352 | Coconino Community College Fall 2017 Assessment Report
MAT 172 In the fall of 2017, the course outcome “Solve non-linear systems by elementary row operations.” was changed to “Solve linear systems by elementary row operations.” to correct a clerical error.
MAT 261 MATLAB usage was added as a required element to MAT 261 to satisfy transfer to ASU.
This change to MAT 261 allows students to apply technology much more similar to what they would use
in the work environment of the important field of differential equations. This shift to technology directs
engineering students’ attention to programming classes they will take in the future. This may increase
student interest in taking EGR 122: Introduction to Programming for Scientists and Engineers at CCC.

ii. Effects of curricular changes A good deal of the curricular changes made were to address that students who spend a lot of
time in a chain of developmental classes are more likely not to finish their college studies. To combat
this, low level developmental courses are now only offered as fast track 8 week courses and some
courses were combined to provide similar exposure to material in fewer semesters of study.
MAT 082/086/088 MAT 082/086 were retired and replaced with MAT 088 for the following reasons:
· Some members of the department did not feel that MAT 082/086 contained the optimal material
for students to be successful in future math courses.
· MAT 088 is only taught in short 8-week sessions, so students placing in the lowest levels of
developmental are given a shorter course chain to enter a college credit bearing course. MAT086
(8 week) and 091 (8 week) in one semester then MAT 140 will take a student two semesters to
finish a liberal studies math requirement. Previously, students would take MAT 082, MAT 086,
MAT 091, MAT 122, then MAT 142 which took five semesters.
21
353 | Coconino Community College Fall 2017 Assessment Report
· MAT 088 has free courseware and a lower number of credit hours, saving each student around
$300.
MAT 088 success rate: 108 students, 68.5% successful (# successful / Beginning Enrollment [In-Person])
MAT 082/086 success rate: 2057 students, 72.3% successful (# successful / Beginning Enrollment
[In-Person])
The slightly lower success rate in MAT 088 was predicted due to it being taught for the first time
by instructors as well as it having a slightly faster pace. In one of the five sections offered so far, the
success rate was over 30% lower than in the other four sections where the success rate was around
75%. A slightly lower success rate is offset by the benefits of the course.
MAT 122 In Spring 2017 the math department decided to not offer MAT 122 because MAT 140 completely fills its
place in the non-STEM math track.
MAT 140 MAT 140, first taught in Spring 2013, was created to act both as the developmental MAT 122 and the
college credit bearing MAT 142. It allows students to finish their liberal studies math requirement if they
only need a little bit of remediation in one less semester than the previous chain MAT 122 then MAT
142. MAT 140 allows students to satisfy their general studies math requirement in less time.
MAT 140 success rate: 628 students, 73.6% successful (# successful / Beginning Enrollment [In-Person])
MAT 142 success rate: 2250 students, 68.4% successful (# successful / Beginning Enrollment [In-Person])
The success rate in MAT 140 is better than that of MAT 142 and both courses contain the same college
level material. This, in addition to the time savings for students, indicate to the department that the
MAT 140 course has been a success.
MAT 151 MAT 151, College Algebra had been taught before at CCC and was retired due to NAU not using College
Algebra as a liberal studies foundations course, and the fact that the business department did not
require business calculus. In 2015, the NAU math department informed the Math ATF of the following
change. The NAU business department requested that the NAU math department create a course that
incorporates topics from finite mathematics and business calculus. NAU math department started to
offer this new course in 2016. To meet this requirement and to address the requirements of the ASU
business college, which still has the more traditional sequence of business calculus and finite
mathematics as separate course, business calculus was offered again. The prerequisite of business
calculus is MAT 151, so the CCC math department unretired MAT151.
MAT 180/181 In 2013 the CCC District Governing Board came up with the Financial Austerity Plan in order to curb
mounting budget concerns at the college. One element of this plan was to eliminate the education
program of which MAT 180 and MAT 181 were a part. The two classes were offered for two years after
this decision to serve those already in the program.
22
354 | Coconino Community College Fall 2017 Assessment Report
iii. Impending course changes The math department is considering splitting MAT 187 – Precalculus into two pieces, one piece being a
college algebra class and one piece that will contain trigonometry and perhaps extra topics such as
vectors and matrices.
e. Articulation
In 1970, the Arizona Mathematics Consortium was created by an NSF grant with two goals in
place. One was to created an organization to develop professional relationships between faculty at
community colleges and universities, and the other was to aid in the flow of students between schools.
The consortium become the Mathematics Articulation Task Force (ATF) with the creation of the ATF
structure in the state. In the mid 1990s, the Mathematics ATF developed a common numbering system
among mathematics courses taught at community colleges. After the common numbering system, the
Mathematics ATF decided on a common core of classes that would be in all mathematics degrees. These
are Calculus I, II, and III and Differential Equations. The concept of these courses, is if a student wishes to
pursue a mathematics degree, then they need to take these four courses and they will satisfy the degree
requirements at all mathematics degrees at any college or university in the state. After creating a
common number system, there was an idea that we should agree on the content in some courses. So
the ATF developed common content in the developmental sequence (agreed on what must be covered
by the end of intermediate algebra), college algebra, precalculus, and college math (quantitative
reasoning). Currently, the ATF is reviewing the content in these classes. The mathematics ATF has
agreed on common CLEP and AP test scores for college credit. CCC mathematics faculty have been an
active member of the ATF since the college was created in 1990. The current curriculum in the math
department adheres to the common numbering and the common content, and CCC has adopted the cut
scores on the CLEP and AP exams. CCC offers the common core of courses every year. The faculty are
involved in the current content revision that the ATF is working on, and will modify curriculum of
common mathematics courses if necessary in the future. Any courses suggested by the math
department that do not reflect the requirements of common courses in the state are presented to the
math ATF for input and approval. An example is MAT 140 that has a lower prerequisites than MAT 140
142?by incorporating the prerequisite material into the course. The concept of this course was
presented to the ATF and received approval of all universities for transfer. The ATF structure provides a
forum for discussion of curricular changes among community colleges and universities. The math faculty
at CCC will continue to participate in the ATF, and make curricular changes based on suggestions from
the ATF.
All courses are articulated to the universities and other community colleges via the ATF. The
transfer agreements are housed at aztransfer.com in the Course Equivalency Guide. The course
equivalency guide on April 10, 2017 showed these following equivalency.

g. Teaching loads The Math department had five full-time faculty in 2011-2012. A sixth full-time faculty was
added in the fall of 2012. In fall 2017, a seventh full-time faculty position was added. The seven full-time
faculty members are responsible for teaching the majority of college level courses, developing curricula,
and assessing learning outcomes. They hold office hours for at least five hours per week and participate
in at least two college-wide committees. (See the full-time faculty job description for more details.) All
full-time faculty are required to attend a department meeting twice a month. Teaching assignments
may include alternative delivery methods including online, day and evening classes, and may be at
multiple sites. This is a full-time, benefits eligible position. Full-time faculty teach a minimum of 30 load
26
358 | Coconino Community College Fall 2017 Assessment Report
hours per year. In fiscal years 2011-2014 the department chair had nine hours a release time per
semester. Since 2014, no full-time faculty member in the department has had any release time. As the
department has added more sections of college-level courses the full-time faculty have needed to teach
more college-level classes and less developmental-level classes due to a shortage of qualified part-time
faculty. With the new HLC credentialing rules this shortage will only get worse. In order to cover
instructor shortages in math, full-time faculty in the department have taught an average of 57.2 hours of
overload per year for these five years. That averages to nearly 5 credits hours of overload per faculty
member per semester. Combined with committee work the full-time math faculty load is excessive. The part-time faculty members are responsible for teaching classes and assessing learning
outcomes. Together, they teach the majority of the developmental courses offered each semester.
They are not required to hold office hours or participate in committees. Part-time faculty are invited to
participate in department meetings and to be involved in decisions affecting the whole department.
Part-time faculty teach between three and 19 load hours per year. Teaching assignments may include
alternative delivery methods including online, day and evening classes, and may be at multiple sites.
This is not a benefits eligible position. The number of part-time faculty varies each year.
27
359 | Coconino Community College Fall 2017 Assessment Report
The math department needs to evaluate the ratio of full-time to part-time faculty. This
information along with difficulty in finding credentialed math instructors may mean that we should look
for another full-time faculty member. Include the comparison of the goal of 50% ratio of full-time to
part-time faculty that the college has overall.
h. Faculty credentials The seven full-time faculty members all have an MS in mathematics. Two members have an
emphasis on statistics, four have an emphasis on pure math and one have an emphasis in mathematics
education. For their undergraduate degrees, two are BS in Mathematics, two are in
Education/Mathematics, and one each from Physics/Engineering, Physics/Mathematics, and
Mathematics/Computer Science.
The part-time instructors during this time period had a variety of degrees as shown in the following
table. Many of these instructors will not meet the new minimum requirements imposed by the HLC.
Another concern is that 75 people applied for part-time faculty jobs during the 2016-2017 academic
year, but none of those applicants were qualified for teaching math. These are weaknesses we will need
to address.

MS Math Education 30%

III. STAFF, RESOURCES, FACILITIES, and FUNDS a. Internal strengths of the program Dedicated faculty who are willing to propose new structures in the mathematics sequence and
courses and willing to improve teaching strategies. Faculty are willing to adopt different pedagogies and
delivery methods to provide for different student learning styles and needs. The faculty are also
dedicated to teach overload so that courses are not cancelled and students are served. Mathematics
faculty are involved in many aspects of governance of the college, and are involved with local, state, and
national mathematical organizations. The math faculty are a very cohesive department that works well
together and cooperates to improve the department and the college for the improvement of students
learning.
b. Internal weaknesses of the program There are not enough part-time faculty who are credentialed to teach mathematics courses,
especially college level courses. There is not enough time to develop a plan for addressing the success
rates in precalculus. The majority of full-time faculty are teaching overloads. The math faculty are
involved in many aspects of the college, often in leadership roles, in addition to being dedicated faculty
members. The full-time faculty have had to take on many of the duties of the department chair such as
class schedules, textbooks, and assessment. The time required to complete these tasks has taken away
time normally used for class preparation and professional development. Because of their involvement,
they do not have the time to maintain balance in their lives.
There are not enough professional development funds for faculty training in new techniques in
teaching. This means that faculty feel that they are lacking professional development opportunities.
Changes made to mathematics requirements at universities is creating an articulation challenge to meet
all of the different requirements at the three universities.
Classrooms were traditionally designated for a discipline and so mathematics faculty had the
tools they needed to adequately teach their classes. However, due to new scheduling practices and
other disciplines utilizing these classrooms, some math classes are not able to be in a mathematics
designed classroom.
Loss of department chairs has been challenging. The faculty in the department have had to
discover and distribute the workload to be sure that departmental duties were covered. Some duties
still have not been taken over such as observation of part-time faculty, ensuring that curriculum is
covered in all sections of the same class, part-time faculty attendance at Convocation and other
30
362 | Coconino Community College Fall 2017 Assessment Report
department events, ensuring that part-time faculty adhere to departmental guidelines such as grading
requirements and chapter coverage lists. One recommendation to help with these issues is to create
Canvas quizzes that all part-time faculty must take before they teach a class. These quizzes could be
created and administered in the Math Department Canvas shell.
Issues with the tutoring area are an ongoing challenge. During the 2016-2017 academic year, a
meeting took place between the tutoring staff and math faculty. This discussion was very beneficial to
help the tutoring staff understand the expectations and requirements for tutors that the math faculty
have. The SI program helps to alleviate tutoring challenges somewhat, but a more holistic and
circumspect outlook on tutoring is necessary to improve student success. The math department will look
into applying standards from AMATYC for best practices for math tutoring labs.
Challenges with the advising area include confusion with some of the math pathways and which
courses students should take depending on their program of study. One recommendation to help with
this problem is to have more regular ongoing communication between the math faculty and the advising
staff.
c. List recommendations received since last program review or Program Advisory Committees None
IV. ANALYSIS and RECOMMENDATIONS a. Description of needs to conduct program, including space and equipment
● At least one additional full-time math instructor
● Continue and expand the Supplemental Instructor (SI) Program. In Fall 2017 the math
department is expanding SI to MAT 097 and 211.
● Build platform in front of board in 107
● Purchase and install more up-to-date SmartBoard in 107
● Keep dedicated math classrooms with department technology, materials, and layout
● Build additional computer classroom with required software installed such as MATLAB and R
● Investigate mobile chair/desks for active classrooms
● Adequate tools such as tablet pens, dual monitors, etc. in full-time faculty offices
● A way to offer office hours to web students so that faculty can help multiple classes at the same
time
● Revitalize the MAT 010 course. This course significantly helped students to have a higher success
rate in their developmental course. It would be great to bring back the course and improve the
advertising so that the course could have enough enrollment to run.
b. Assessment i. History of assessment in the CCC mathematics department
CCC began a robust college-wide assessment program of academic programs in 2001. At that
time, the mathematics department started the process of creating program outcomes, aligning course
outcomes to the program outcomes, and creating tools to assess those outcomes. For many years, the
math department annually conducted pre and post tests, final exam questions, and an attitudinal survey
31
363 | Coconino Community College Fall 2017 Assessment Report
in all mathematics courses at the college. In more recent years, program and general education
outcomes were measured with projects in statistics classes. The results from this data were compiled
each year and reports were created by the math and science department chair. It was typical to see
from the results that students struggled in graphing and word problems in all levels of classes.
Therefore, trainings and symposiums were conducted to train the faculty to focus more heavily on these
topics. Improvements in these topics were shown in subsequent assessment activities.
In 2012, the leadership for continuing this assessment process was reduced due to several
factors such as the removal of department chairs and changing staff in the Institutional Research and
Academic Affairs areas. The math department did continue to assess some courses over the next four
years, but overall reports were not required. Members of the math department have raw data from
many courses, most of which has not been summarized or analyzed. The assessment activities during
this time were not as comprehensive as in previous years, but some of these results are shown below.
The math program outcomes which were assessed using the above mentioned tools from 2001
on are as follows:
1. Apply mathematics in context using appropriate problem solving skills.
2. Solve equations.
3. Create and interpret graphical representation.
4. Perform operations on mathematical structures, which may include real, complex, matrix, or
function space.
5. Work with geometric concepts.
6. Apply and interpret limits and limit definitions.
7. Gain appreciation of mathematics and its uses
8. Interpret and communicate mathematics.
ii. Math department assessment from 2012 through 2016 Summary of assessment in mathematics for the last five years. Math Assessment usually consisted of five common final exam questions that measure program
assessment outcomes aligned with General Education program outcomes. The grid below indicates
when these courses were assessed using the common final questions, graded with the rubric, and raw
data was collected. Raw data was compiled in FY 13 and FY 17. The years FY 14 raw data was collected
but not compiled. FY 15 and 16, some raw data was collected. An X indicates data was collected for this

Examples of assessment results from Spring 2012 MAT 010 Math Help The following is a statistical analysis studying whether or not MAT 010, Math Help, was a beneficial class
for developmental students at CCC. MAT 010 is a class that is designed as a co-enrolled class for
students taking developmental math classes. The students sign up for the developmental class as well as
the MAT 010. In MAT 010, students learn study skills and learning styles and they receive help with their
developmental coursework.
Hypothesis: Students co-enrolled in MAT 010 while taking a developmental mathematics class at CCC
have a higher success rate in their developmental course than students not co-enrolled in MAT 010.
p1 = proportion of students who succeeded in developmental math class who were also co-enrolled in
MAT 010
p2 = proportion of students who succeeded in developmental math class who were not also co-enrolled
in MAT 010
Ho: p1 = p2
H1: p1 > p2
Alpha = 0.05
f1 = frequency of students who succeeded (A, B, C) in a developmental math class who were also
co-enrolled in MAT 010 = 101
f2 = frequency of students who succeeded (A, B, C) in a developmental math class who were not also
co-enrolled in MAT 010 = 1677
n1 = number of students in developmental math class and co-enrolled in MAT 010 (W were excluded) =
131
n2 = number of students in developmental math class and not co-enrolled in MAT 010 (W were
excluded) = 2398
Z = 1.75
P-value = 0.040
p1-hat = 0.771
p2-hat = 0.699
There is enough evidence to show that students co-enrolled in MAT 010 have a higher success rate in
their developmental class than students not co-enrolled in MAT 010.
90% confidence interval is 0.00934 to 0.13398. There is a 90% chance that the interval of 0.9934% to
13.298% contains the true success rate change for students co-enrolled in MAT 010 as compared with
students not co-enrolled in MAT 010.
This analysis of data from MAT 010 shows that it was a beneficial course for most students who enrolled
in it. The enrollment of the course has dwindled in recent years and the course is currently not being
offered. Due to its statistical success, it would be beneficial to offer this course again. More advertising
34
366 | Coconino Community College Fall 2017 Assessment Report
would need to be done for this course and communication with advising and faculty about its benefits
would be necessary to improve enrollment.
Survey Results One of the assessment tools that the math department utilized for many years was an
attitudinal survey. This survey was administered in all math classes to determine the level of students’
attitudes towards mathematics. Below are the results in the developmental track through MAT 142 in
Spring 2012.

This data shows that the assessment results for the final exam questions given in MAT 140 and
MAT 142 in order to assess program outcomes are comparable to one another or even better in MAT
140 which coincides with previous data regarding these two classes. This data also serves as an example
of data that has been collected sporadically through the last five years. This data is available to do more
analysis with but for the most part has not been compiled across sections nor analyzed previously.
iii. Math Department Assessment 2016-2017
During FY 2017, the math department participated in general education assessment of critical
thinking. During Fall, 2016, only full-time faculty were required to participate in this critical thinking
assessment, but the math department asked part-time faculty to also participate. The courses in which
critical thinking outcomes were assessed were MAT 091, MAT 096, MAT 140, MAT 142, MAT 151, MAT
172, MAT 187, MAT 220, MAT 230, and MAT 241. In all of these courses, five common final exam
questions were modified and distributed to faculty to use on their final exams and faculty were asked to
report back their assessment results. The overall results of these assessment activities for Fall 2016 are
shown below.
The following graphs show the percentage of students in various classes who score at proficient
or mastery level in the given critical thinking outcome stated in the heading of each graph. The graphs
also show the overall assessment results of the entire college for that particular critical thinking
outcome.
38
370 | Coconino Community College Fall 2017 Assessment Report
The two critical thinking outcomes shown above are only measured in the MAT 140/142 courses
by the CCC math department. The overall percentage of students in these courses who were at
proficient or mastery level for these outcomes is 61% and is relatively close in the two courses. The
overall college assessments for these two outcomes have a success level of 78% and 75% respectively,
which are somewhat higher than that for mathematics.
The only other critical thinking outcome that is measured in mathematics is shown above. The
courses that show the lowest levels of proficiency or mastery on this critical thinking outcome are MAT
096, MAT 172, and MAT 241. Changes are being made to MAT 096, Intermediate Algebra, which was
mentioned previously in this report. MAT 172, Finite Mathematics, and MAT 241, Differential Equations,
are both more difficult courses with limited enrollment which are not taught in great abundance at CCC.
Thus, the sample sizes for these results are quite a bit smaller than for many other courses. MyMathLab
online homework is being used in MAT 172 to try to improve these outcomes. The courses that show the
highest levels of proficiency and mastery on this outcome are MAT 230, MAT 187, and MAT 151.
39
371 | Coconino Community College Fall 2017 Assessment Report
These results for MAT 230 Calculus II and MAT 187 Precalculus are somewhat surprising in that
the classes are quite challenging and traditionally have a high DFW rate. However, the data for this
assessment is collected at the end of the semester in the final exam, therefore, it could be that the
rather large number of students who dropped may have not participated in the assessment at all. Also,
it is always good to recognize that the differences in course success rates could also be due to the final
exam questions that were used and so the instruments should be analyzed for refinement.
The same final exam questions were also used during Spring 2017 and the results of that
assessment data is shown below. Unfortunately, this data was not reported per each critical thinking
outcome, but just for the general education critical thinking criteria as a whole. Thus, the results of the
assessment are presented in a different fashion. During Spring 2017, there were slightly better results
overall and the courses that showed lower and higher percents of “met” were similar to Fall 2016.
COURSE MET NOT MET INCOMPLETE N =
MAT 140 49% 40% 11% 4
MAT 142 66% 24% 10% 3

Overall 71% 18% 11% 115
The graph shown below represents assessment data from the introductory statistics course
taught at CCC during Fall 2016. This course is a cross-listed course which means that some students are
enrolled in MAT 160 and other students are enrolled in BUS 232 but the course is taught as one. The
assessment tool utilized in MAT 160/BUS 232 is a statistical project that is administered near the end of
the semester. The students have to go through all steps of a statistical analysis from collecting their own
data through analyzing the data. The project is graded using a rubric and the students “meet” the
criteria for developing well-reasoned conclusions and solutions to problems by getting at least 60% of
the project correct. The graph shows that 61% of students who took statistics met the requirements for
this critical thinking outcome.
Similar data is shown below for the statistics course in Spring 2017. During this semester, 60% of
students received a grade of “meets” on the statistical analysis project.

ITS Coconino Community College Non‐Academic Program Review 2017
I. Executive Summary
Information Technology Services is the college unit responsible for technology services and
support. It strives to transform the teaching, learning, and business environments. It provides a
myriad of services, and maintains the technology environment in a manner that it can support
those services.
The goals of the Coconino Community College ITS Department are aligned with the college
strategic plan in numerous ways. (See Appendix B‐CCC Initiatives) The goals that support the
College’s strategic plan are:
Goal I: Maximize Student Success and Improve the Student Experience
Goal II: Advance Administrative Support Technology
Goal III: Enhance the Online Experience, Improve Access to & Delivery of Distance
Learning
Goal IV: Foster Innovative Use of Technology
Goal V: Strengthen Technology Infrastructure, Operations & Efficiencies
ITS personnel are involved in a variety of college functions, workgroups, and committees.
Notable ones within the college governance structure include College Council, Technology
Committee, Instructional Technology Committee, Facilities Committee, Academic Council and
Administrative Council.
With regards to facilities and equipment, facilities are largely adequate though some
improvements are warranted and being sought. For equipment, ITS is equipment/technology
dependent in order to deliver services and provide a stable environment. A variety of
recommendations are included in the ITS Plan. (appendix B)
In terms of budget, ITS participates in the annual budget cycle process and is provided with the
resources based on need to operate. The challenge with recurring costs is their yearly
escalation. For the first time, a plant fund has been established to be used starting in FY2018
that will enable ITS to plan for the life cycle replacement of technology. This new aspect of
technology planning and expenditures will assist with providing a resilient and reliable
technology environment for the college.
The program and services review reveals that, of those services assessed, the college community
is largely satisfied with the delivery and nature of the services. A more comprehensive
assessment could be conducted in the future to capture feedback on the broader range of
services provided by ITS.
The SWOT analyses identified several areas of both benefit and concern, including personnel,
regional issues, and collaboration opportunities.
389 | Coconino Community College Fall 2017 Assessment Report
Planning for technology is challenging, and a college‐wide planning effort will most enable ITS to
plan adequately for the college’s future. ITS as a program is dependent on the goals, aspirations,
and direction of the college as a key part of the organization. ITS also has the capacity to lead
and be a catalyst for transformation. By working as partners within ITS, among college
departments and leadership and the external community, positive changes will take place.
II. Program Overview (Narrative)
Information Technology Services is the college unit responsible for technology services and
support. ITS is separated into two teams that work closely. In very broad terms. the Client
Services Team is responsible for most user facing technology and the Infrastructure Team is
responsible for providing the technology environment that allows the systems to work together.
ITS strives to transform the teaching, learning, and business environments through the following
services and functions:
Client Services:
o Help Desk Support
o End user support of LMS, Canvas
o Computer Labs and Mobile Computer Carts
o Classroom Technology
o Interactive videoconferencing (ITV)
o Computer deployment and maintenance
o Public website, student portal, and employee portal/Intranet
o Application software license management, installation, and support
o Audio/visual services and support
Infrastructure Services:
o IT security and protection
o Local, metro, and wide area networking, including wireless and IoT
o Telephony services
o Printing/scanning services
o Information systems and storage management, support, and integration
services
o Maintaining connections and configurations with exterior entities such as
Canvas LMS, Student Portal and NAU.
o ERP systems management and support
o Directory and account management
o Assisting with compliance requirements.
o Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity

Department reorganization
ITS has two advisory committees – Technology Committee and Instructional Technology
Committee. These are both incorporated into the college governance process, and
chartered by College Council. The Assistant Director of Client Services chairs the
Technology Committee and co‐chairs the Instructional Technology Committee. For the
past two years, the following recommendations and resulting actions were taken:
Technology Committee
To revise the Technology Tuition Allocation Procedure to more clearly define
the conditions under which the technology tuition allocation can be used
o Action: The procedure was revised and sent to all college personnel for
review and comment, upon which it was reviewed by College Council
and passed as revised.
Review of the multi‐year Technology Plan
o Action: The plan was reviewed and feedback sought. No substantive
recommendations for changes were received.
Review of the Academic Technology budget
o Action: One of the requirements of the Technology Committee is a
yearly review of the Academic Technology budget. No substantive
recommendations for changes were received.
Review of the Screen Lock Procedure draft
o Action: The Screen Lock Procedure draft, new for the college, was
reviewed and no changes were suggested. College‐wide feedback was
sought, and it was presented to College Council for approval. College
Council approved the procedure and it is now in operation.
Review of the Account Expiration Procedure draft
o Action: The Account Expiration Procedure draft , new for the college,
was tabled due to the college’s identity management system not being
programmed to disable accounts.
Review of the Password Procedure
o Action: The Password Procedure draft, new for the college, was
reviewed and after determining that our process for the initial password
was in accordance with FERPA requirements, the procedure was sent
out college‐wide for review and comment. The procedure was
subsequently approved by College Council and is now in operation.
Video‐facilitated Classroom Instruction Delivery Plan draft
392 | Coconino Community College Fall 2017 Assessment Report
o Action: A video‐facilitated Classroom Instruction Delivery Plan was
developed to assist with the future direction of synchronous distance
learning. The plan was reviewed by the committee. No substantive
recommendations for changes were received.
Instructional Technology Committee
Review of the Computer Replacement Cycle
o Action: The committee reviewed the computer replacement cycle. No
substantive changes were recommended.
Faculty to faculty showcase of technology integration was proposed
o Action: Two faculty members presented their use of the smartboard
during the EDD presentation on Technology in the Classroom
Resource Center for Students Canvas course
o Action: The Resource Center for Students Canvas course was reviewed
at the request of Laura Rosensweet from Student Development.
Recommendations for improving student use and access were provided.
Review aggregate Canvas analytics to offer suggestions on improving the use of
Canvas for its educational benefits to students
o Action: The Canvas health check analysis was shared with the
committee. It was determined that the data did not suggest any
changes to Canvas.
Survey students and faculty on their use of technology
o Action: The committee recommended that the college participate in the
EDUCAUSE Student Use of Technology Study. The students were
surveyed in Spring 2017 and results will be available from EDUCAUSE in
the fall timeframe.
o Action: The committee recommended that the college create a basic
survey to gather the experiences of the faculty in terms of their use of
instructional technology. It was conducted in early May through the IR
office and the results have been compiled for review by the committee
when it meets in September 2017.
V. Personnel, Facilities, Resources and Funds
A. Personnel
ITS has two distinct teams, Infrastructure Services and Client Services. There is
considerable collaboration on projects initiatives and daily duties. The following
description is based on a recent reorganization in Spring 2017. See organizational charts
for more detail. (See appendix C – ITS Organizational Chart)
Client Services is comprised of Client Service analysts, and the associated
personnel, led by the Assistant Director of Client Services, who also serves as a
senior professional. Client Services also incorporates the Helpdesk. The
Helpdesk has a manager as well as two fulltime support technicians. The
393 | Coconino Community College Fall 2017 Assessment Report
helpdesk is also staffed by three part time workers and as many as four Federal
Work Studies or Student Wage workers.
Infrastructure Systems is comprised of mostly senior level professionals
responsible for systems, applications and integration, database administration,
networking and storage. The team has a junior level network technician that is
being coached and developed into a positon where he can advance to the
higher levels. The team is led by the Assistant Director of Infrastructure
Systems, who also serves as a senior professional.
Professional development opportunities are provided in conjunction with the yearly
established professional development goals. These goals are established jointly by the
incumbent and the supervisor. Challenges include limited funding and time opportunity.
Funding is provided for conferences, online training, in person training and online
reference resources. Completion of the goals is reflected in the annual performance
evaluation of the employee.
B. Facilities and Resources
Facilities: ITS is housed primarily on the Lone Tree campus in Building 100. It contains
the Help Desk, office space, a data center and testing room, and a training room with
computer stations and a data/video projector. ITS also operates the open computer labs
and supports two Instructional Interactive Television Video(ITV) classrooms, three
computer classrooms, three Smartboards, the placement testing lab and three mobile
computer carts. The Help Desk at Lone Tree is well situated in front of the open
computer lab and in the section of the building devoted to student support services.
The office space, adjacent to the Help Desk, is inadequate for the personnel, and plans
are being developed to reconfigure the space to accommodate the Assistant Director
positions and the new Infrastructure Tech II position. The change from a Chief
Technology Officer to Chief Innovation Officer (the latter who will not be located in the
ITS space) has provided an opportunity for the reconfiguration.
The 4th Street Campus provides in person support through a small helpdesk that is
located in the computer lab. The 4th Street site also houses a small secondary data
closet that serves local services, backup repository and as the Disaster Recovery Site
infrastructure. The 4th Street Campus also houses one ITV Classroom, two Smartboards
a fee based testing center as well as one Mobile Computer Cart.
The Page campus has no dedicated Help Desk; students and employees contact the Help
Desk by telephone, email, remote management tools and the Track‐it ticketing system.
The Page Campus houses one computer classroom, a small computer lab, a small testing
center, two ITV Classrooms and five Movi Desktop stations (Desktop ITV Clients.)
Equipment: In terms of equipment, ITS is very technology equipment dependent to
provide its services and functions. The Data Center houses a myriad of servers, network
and storage devices. As mentioned, classrooms are equipped with computers,
394 | Coconino Community College Fall 2017 Assessment Report
projectors, and related instructional technology devices. Three conference rooms
contain projection technology. Digital displays are located throughout the Lone Tree
campus, with one at Fourth Street. The instructional video technology that provide
distant sites with interactive video, also known as ITV or videoconferencing, comprises
both control units in the Data Center and endpoints in selected classrooms. It can also
function using software‐based endpoints operating on standard computers equipped
with cameras and microphones.
While not usually capital good, ITS is also responsible for numerous software
applications, most notably those used to operate the institution or provide for
instruction. These include Banner as the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system, a
student portal (MyCCC), a student advising and retention system (Starfish), and the
learning management system (Canvas). Some systems are housed on premise, such as
Banner, while others in the list are hosted remotely and accessed using our Internet
connection.
Part of our Microsoft Site License provides the complete MS Office Suite which is loaded
on every computer as well as many other resources that the college also takes
advantage. The college participates in ProPlus, which enables faculty and staff to
download and use copies of MS Office while they are employed by the college.
The software catalog for CCC is extensive. Licenses are managed by ITS and deployed on
the appropriate computers to provide the intended functions with the intended
individuals or groups. All software is vetted and tested by ITS before installation for
general use.
A trend in the ITS Industry is for software applications to be provided “in the cloud”
rather than housed locally. CCC’s ITS has been evaluating these types of services when
applicable. Some issues that need to be addressed are sufficient Internet bandwidth,
data protection, data security, less local control that results in decisions that are not
being made at the local level (such as when maintenance windows, feature changes etc)
and end user experience that is frequently out of our control.
C. Finances
ITS is provided with two budgets, Academic Computing and Administrative Computing.
They support contracted services, supplies, repairs, consumables, software licenses,
maintenance contracts, telecommunications, and travel and professional development.
Each year, the department reviews the needs for the upcoming year and submits a
budget to reflect the anticipated programs and services. Any increase requests are
submitted separately as an incremental request. The Academic budget receives a set
amount from the Technology Tuition Allocation, and is supplemented to cover
additional expenses as proposed and approved.
ITS also has access to the STEM budget and the EQUIPMENT budget, two college funds
where departments propose products and services to be supported by the funds. STEM
is used for academic activities, and EQUIPMENT for administrative or general purposes.
395 | Coconino Community College Fall 2017 Assessment Report
Proposals are forwarded at the announced time, generally within the same budget year
as when the expenses are made.
In terms of trends, the software and hardware used to support college activities has
grown steadily, and the budget has been allowed to grow with it. Yearly operating costs
will continue to climb, as well as traditional software license and maintenance contracts
trending towards adding incremental cost increases yearly. ITS continually examines the
software and maintenance contract profile and looks for ways to reduce expenses,
whether by selectively taking equipment off contract (and instead purchasing spares),
renegotiating contracts or finding less expensive suppliers, or finding less expensive
substitute products.
For the first time, a plant fund has been established to be used starting in FY2018 that
will enable ITS to plan for the life cycle replacement of technology. This new aspect of
technology planning and expenditures will assist with providing a resilient and reliable
technology environment for the college.

VI. Partnerships and Collaborations, if exist
A. Internal
In addition to the Technology Committee and Instructional Technology Committee, ITS
is also involved in the following groups:
397 | Coconino Community College Fall 2017 Assessment Report
Banner Workgroup – oversees the operation of the Banner administrative suite
Administrative User Group – governance committee for major decisions
regarding Banner
Strategic Enrollment Management Workgroup – examines enrollment data and
offers recommendations on enrollment from a strategic perspective
Academic Council – chaired by the Provost, provides a forum for discussion of
academic topics
Many other committees are attended and represented by the Information
Technology Services Department such as the Facilities committee and the
Employee Events committee.
Further collaborations exist between The ITS Department and the many departments
such as Academic Affairs, Registration, Financial Aid and The Teachers Learning Center
(TLC) to further initiatives driven by the college. These include DegreeWorks, Starfish,
Early Alert, the myCCC Student Portal and many others.
B. External
CCC’s ITS and NAU’s IT department have established periodic meetings to
discuss items of mutual interest and collaboration. This has expanded to
include representation from Mohave Community College, Yavapai College as
well as Northland Pioneer College.
The Technology and Library workgroup meets once every two months to discuss
items of mutual interest.
The CCC CTO and NAU CIO met and corresponded periodically to identify
possible areas of collaboration. Those initiatives are in varying states of
consideration.
CCC’s ITS Leadership are part of the Arizona Community College Technology
Officer Group. The ACCTO group discusses current issues and solutions that
other college IT departments are experiencing. The group also organizes an
annual symposium of the Arizona Community College IT departments.
VII. Customer and Services Review
A. Review of Provided Services
The ITS department’s primary purpose is to develop, provide and maintain an
environment that allows the educational process to occur.
Several of the services listed in the Program Overview section are evaluated each
semester through the ITS Help Desk Survey, which is has been sent out to all students
and employees each semester since 2014. The summary results are provided in
Appendix A. Those services assessed are:
398 | Coconino Community College Fall 2017 Assessment Report
Help desk responsiveness and problem resolution involving a myriad of issues
including account issues, software issues, hardware issues and various
connections to cloud services.
Video Conferencing & ITV (interactive videoconferencing)
Computers on Wheels (C.O.W.) Mobile Computer Carts
Wireless (wi‐fi) connectivity
Computer labs
Mobile checkout process
Student Gmail
However, an analysis of the data reveals that those responding (in which student
response averaged a score of 67 and faculty/staff averaged a score of 61) that overall
satisfaction with the services is high. Individually provided comments and suggestions
for improvement are reviewed each semester to determine if patterns exist whereby
actions should be taken.
B. Support of Students, Faculty, Staff
As ITS provides services to all students, faculty, and staff, and in some cases prospective
students and visitors, the demographics include the entire population of the college.
Services and support provided by ITS are a reflection of and in support of college
programs and services. ITS also examines the trends in higher education and the general
technology marketplace to plan and consider changes to its services and technology.

2. External Factors ‐ What are the external opportunities of the program?
What are the external weaknesses?
STRENGTHS The higher education technology
suppliers are providing increasingly sophisticated products to address higher education issues
WEAKNESSES
Qualified IT personnel are difficult to find in the region
Cost of living and lack of housing in region negatively affects recruitment of IT personnel
Local IT support and services are minimal in Flagstaff
Lack of reliable, high speed Internet access in our service region
OPPORTUNITIES Collaboration with other AZ
higher education institutions may provide opportunities to lower costs or personnel time in delivery of services and/or the availability of new services
Using technology to reach students who cannot be present at one of our physical sites
THREATS Costs for technology, particularly
support costs, rise yearly
Cybercrimes, malware, spyware, phishing
Onsite support from external providers requires their time and scheduling to travel to our locations
Difficulty serving the more remote locations of the county due to geography and availability of services (such as high speed Internet)
B. Support of Students 1. The definition of student success for the Information Technology is that Students
are able to utilize the technology and systems that are provided by the college to
achieve successful completion of classes and programs. The ITS Department
supports technology use in events and presentations.
2. Nearly every class is impacted by technology which means that the entire student
population is impacted by what the ITS department provides in services and
support.
400 | Coconino Community College Fall 2017 Assessment Report
o Populations not being served include the rural populations that do not have
access to the Internet
o The only students not directly impacted by ITS equipment would be some of
the Pottery classes.
o The ITS Department is actively working to address reaching the rural areas
with technology to enable the learning process.
3. The ITS Department utilizes a survey that is conducted bi‐annually to help assess
services provided. Results are compared to other surveys and actions are decided
by ITS Management if changes are needed. (See Appendix B) The department also
involved leadership from all other departments to insure that the ITS team is
actively supporting the college’s needs and initiatives. The ITS Strategic Plan
document (Appendix C) is also aimed at making sure that the ITS Department stays
on track with college initiatives.
IX. Recommendations and Future Directions
A. 1 to 3 Year Recommendations
See Appendix B, CCC ITS Initiatives. In addition, it is recommended that the college
continue with its improvements of the student experience as identified in the 2016‐
2017 Business Process Review.
B. Revision of Current Goals, if applicable
The goals in the current ITS plan continue to be applicable, however, they will be
examined yearly and in particular, will be aligned with any new college strategic plan.
The goals are:
Goal I: Maximize Student Success and Improve the Student Experience
Goal II: Advance Administrative Support Technology
Goal III: Enhance the Online Experience, Improve Access to & Delivery of Distance Learning
Goal IV: Foster Innovative Use of Technology
Goal V: Strengthen Technology Infrastructure, Operations & Efficiencies
C. Future Direction (5 year view)
The evolution of technology is “fast and furious”. It is challenging to separate fads
from trends, and find valuable applications of technology to significantly support
and transform teaching, learning, and higher education administration. The ITS
program is dependent on the Strategic Plan, college and departmental goals,
401 | Coconino Community College Fall 2017 Assessment Report
aspirations, as well as the direction of the college overall. (See the list below for
projects related to the Strategic plan.) However, the ITS department has the
capacity to lead and be a catalyst for transformation within the college. Only by
working as partners, within ITS, among college departments and leadership, and the
external community, will such positive changes take place.
Goal I. Maximize Student Success and Improve the Student Experience
a. Leverage Technology to increase enrollment
b. Bring Your Own Device (BYOD)
c. Business Process Review
Goal II: Advance Administrative Support Technology

Mostly Help Desk folks are funny, warm, friendly and helpful. So, on the rare occasion that you hire someone who lacks these qualities, it really stands out.
More consistent coverage
Produce an annual report detailing the types of questions you have received from students, and send it to all Academic Affairs employees.
Attend faculty orientations and let the faculty get to know you.
There should be an alternative person to contact rather than a student worker at the Help Desk.
MORE HOURS, MORE TRAININGS
Make sure that people who are assigned to answering telephones have solid communication skills.
Answer the phone with people
Please find a way to turn off the cameras in Rooms 122 and 124.

REVIEW ITEM CRITERIACOMMENTS
(Actions Required, Particular criteria missing, Suggestions for Improvement)
1) A short summary of the program review
that readers can rapidly become acquainted
with the material without having to read all
of it.
Language of last two sentences used implies the ITS
department sees themselves as separate from the rest
of the college.

Not sure what disaster recovery is.

the program's mission and how that mission
ties into the overall mission of the college.
B. Goals and Objectives
1)Provide a list of the goals, objectives, and
outcomes of the program.
When applicable, define how these goals
align with the current strategic plan and
provide evidence on how the program has
been working to accomplish these goals.
The goals are clear and support many of the objectives
outlined in the strategic plan. It would be helpful to
describe which strategic goal each is accomplishing
instead of having to look in the appendix.

3) If no action was taken on a
recommendation, describe why no action
t k
This is the first formal program review. I liked the listing
of the actions of each advisory committee in ITS and
what they had accomplished over the last two years. I'm
wondering why only two years of action was listed
instead of 5.
A. Personnel
1) Provide an overall description of the
staffing and organization of the program.
2) Provide a description of the distribution
of responsibilities between the positions
within the program.

C. Finances
1) Revenues and expenditures aligned
within the budget, and what revenues are
generated through program activities.
2) Any applicable trends and impacts on the
budget should also be discussed.
Don't know why the professional services budget is over
$400,000 in the administrative budget. What is that for?
I can only assume because it isn't explained. No revenue
is listed or explained

A. Review of Provided Services
1) Provide a detailed review of the services
provided by the program.
2) Explain how the services support teaching
and learning within the college.
Some of the line graphs used in the appendix are

participants of the program
a. identify any populations not being served,
b. trends and patterns
