A. Provide the course prefix, number, title, semester credit hours, component area This is a section built on the THECB submission portal. B. Provide link(s) to specific documentation of how the students will demonstrate the Core Objectives, such as syllabi and other relevant material.
Syllabi Information for CORE Courses in HB2504 Fall 2013
Syllabi Information for CORE Courses taught before or after Fall 2013 in Appendix
Other relevant material includes Curriculum Maps for LSC-PA Academic Courses submitted as a separate document
The syllabi for all Core Courses taught during the fall semester of 2013 can be viewed at the following link: http://www.lamarpa.edu/HB2504/syllabi/Fall%202013/. The campus website lists courses alphabetically by faculty last name. For the courses which are rotated through the semesters and not available on the HB 2504 Fall 2013 link the following chart has been created with internal links to the Appendix with information about how a student will demonstrate the Core Objectives for that course. This information was gathered from Department Chairs and it is the same information given to faculty when a course syllabus is created for the semester it is offered. If a Core course is on the HB 2504 link, it will be identified as such and linked to the specific syllabus on the Campus website and, if not, then the Core Objective (or Program Student Learning Outcomes PSLO) and the Course Student Learning Outcomes (CSLO) will be listed in the Appendix. Also, each CSLO in a course is mapped to the appropriate PSLO and information on how it is measured is provided. On the HB 2504 Syllabus template the specific data required in this report are on the following rows under Course Information: Row 1: Course Number Row 2: Course Description Row 11: General Education/Core Curriculum Student Learning Outcomes (Core Objectives) Row 12: Program Student Learning Outcomes (required for that course) Row 13: Course Student Learning Outcomes (mapped to PSLO and measures
indicated) At Lamar State College-Port Arthur our Program Student Learning Outcomes (PSLO) for the Associate of Arts Degree and the Associate of Arts in Teaching Degree use the same six primary skills as the THECB Core Objectives. For the Campus Quality Enhancement Plan Seahawks SOAR (Students Obtain Achievement in Reading) the PSLO Alpha has been added to measure Reading Comprehension Skills.
