Faculty Learning Community Led by Prof. Gotch Contributes Updates to Comm 120

Donna Gotch facilitated a program-based Faculty Learning Community with Instructors Alatorre, Patzold and Wassing participating. They examined the Communication 120: Oral Communication course and how best to review the curriculum and assessment needs. They consulted the literature on best practices for teaching and learning, investigated research on best practices for teaching and assessing Oral Communication including reviewing the NCA resources for assessment and consulted with GE assessment rubrics for learning outcomes the course must fulfill. This Faculty Learning Community revised the Departmental requirements for Comm 120 to include assignment choices that reflect our new learning outcomes in preparation for the transition to semesters in fall 2020.
