2024-25 | Fall | Face-to-Face | Project | For the final exam, students were tasked with completing a probation pre-sentence report. They were the probation officers and had to complete the probation application for a fake defendant, based on the information I provided. Students had to transfer prior conviction and drug/alcohol history from the rap, take the present offense information form the police report and rap sheet, and based on all of the information, they had to write a recommendation for sentencing. This assignment tested their ability of recognizing how to read a rap sheet, probation application, and police report, and being able to write a successful recommendation. | 0.00 | 11 | 1 | 0 | 2 | This final exam allowed for me to ascertain how much of the information the students retained throughout the course. There were various topics covered and the fact that the students were successful with their final, based on the grade, showed their ability to retain and recite the information learned. | Thinking about this course in the future, I might have a scenarios for the students, in terms of being able to write an effective pre-sentence report. Given that these reports are vital to a defendant's sentence, it would be a good measure to have them play out an actual interview. |

2024-25 | Fall | Online - Asynchronous | Other | The final for the course was for the students to write a 5-page
research paper about an infamous women.
The women could be anyone from a serial killer to a
Congresswoman. The students were to
take the strategies taught in class (i.e. theories, mental health issues,
drug/alcohol, policies, victimization, etc.) and incorporate that into their
paper. The idea of this particular method was to allow the students to articulate their topic onto paper. It is one thing being able to answer discussion questions or certain writing assignment; however, it is another to be able to take what you learned and apply that for the reader. |
16 | 2 | 1 | 0 | 1 | In reading the students' papers, they showed a clear understanding of what they learned throughout the course. Many of the papers received the top score of 50 points. For others, who did not exactly meet the 50 points, it was more or less regarding grammatical errors, citing issues, or improper formatting of their paper. | The courses are 12 weeks, and it can be difficult to retain most of what is being taught. While a quiz could have worked, writing about what you learned allows students the ability to retain the information. |

2024-25 | Fall | Online - Asynchronous | Exam Course Test/Qui | A final exam was given. The exam consisted of questions from the course lectures, readings, videos, and articles. The exam consisted of true false, multiple choice, and fill in the blank questions. The questions included theories related to community relations and the police, historical perspectives, and prominent figures past and present. | 13 | 9 | 1 | 2 | 3 | The final exam was conducted to test what the students retained during the quarter. On the whole, students did quite well. The students, who did not meet expectations was due to them not submitting assignments or taking advantage of the extra credit assignments. While other students stopped participating in the course and failed to drop the class within the time frame set by the college. | Overall, I was pleased with the outcome of the students learned throughout the quarter. The exam was pretty standard and not much needs to be enhanced. |

2024-25 | Fall | Online - Asynchronous | Exam Course Test/Qui | This course was assessed based on students earning points for
each completed assignment. Assignments
consisted of examinations, taken directly from the textbook, or provided

forward. Students who put in the work
tend to do very well. Conversely,
students who do not put in the work, have grades reflective of that
effort. One of the concerns I have shared many times in the past, is the fact this course does NOT require prerequisite courses. In my opinion, students taking this course should HAVE TO COMPLETE ADMJ1 - Intro to the Administration of Justice - before being allowed to register, as that is the foundational speciality course for the CJ degree program! "Youth and the Law" and many topics studied in the course stem from the foundational speciality. How can you effectively talk about Probable Cause, Reasonable Suspicion, Consensual Encounters, Arrests, and Detentions, when you've never even heard of those terms...which are all prevalent throughout this course. And don't let me get started on Theory or the beginnings of the CJ System in America. Students routinely waited until the very last moment to attempt to complete the week's work. Unfortunately, that is something they need to ration out their time to do. However, I can do a better job in the future of reminding them of the due date. |
This course sets out to give students a more in-depth look into

Many students gave me positive feedback on what they learned, the way
the course was laid out, and the ease and relatedness of the
assignments. In the future, I would like to be more "present" with my students; albeit, my office hours were rarely attended. Lastly, I think inputting a feedback mechanism might be helpful to gauge student thoughts. |

2024-2025 | Winter | Online - Asynchronous | Exam Course Test/Qui | For this quarter, I did my final in two parts. The first part I gave a final exam. The questions came from the textbook,
videos, lectures, and articles. Part 2, I asked students to share two things that they learned during the quarter. This allowed me to see if students were able to articulate certain theories, practices, and ideas of the information they obtained.

I will continue to strategize how to reach out to them, including the use of CONNECT and my own e-mails... |

Earlier contact and intervention was needed for absent students. |

At the end of the course, almost every student was meeting or exceeding expectations for it. The biggest issue in the course, however, was the number of students who quit participating. | There is a need to take steps to prevent students from disappearing from the course. I will work to take earlier interventions and communicate more actively with students who cease to attend class regularly. |
| SSH | PHIL | Rich Booher | PHIL 8-01Y | 41061 | Articulate and defend a personal stance on at least one of these questions and/or traditions. | 2023-2024 | Spring | Hybrid (some Face-to-F | Exam Course Test/Qui | Student responses to an essay exam were examined. | 13 | 12 | 1 | 3 | 5 | The course was mostly successful, though there were fewer students meeting expectations for this SLO than for the more basic SLO assessed for the course. As being able to articulate and defend a position is more challenging than merely identifying an issue or question, this makes some degree of sense. However, we should not rest with this and work to raise all students to the level of fully meeting expectations. | For the students who do not attend regularly, more effort should be made to reach out to them and perhaps also refer them to support services if necessary. For students who struggle to articulate their arguments, there should be more active contact from the instructor to coach them with their writing. These students may also benefit from being referred to the Student Success Center. |

SLO 2- Distinguish the sociological perspective from other sciences, including its methods, theories and empathetic standpoint. | 2023-2024 | Summer | Online - Asynchronous | Other | Writing assignment directed at addressing SLO's. SLO 1 - Two questions: 1a-Write about one or two social problems that you worry will not be solved during your lifetime? Talk about the specific problem(s) and explain your concerns. CHOOSE NO MORE THAN TWO problems, and give your ideas about why they are so difficult to solve, be specific about your opinions. Are there structural issues keeping the problem from being resolved; are there specific groups of people that have an interest in keeping the problem from resolution? 1b-In your own life, please discuss a personal problem or issue(s) that is also connected to a larger social problem or issue(s). ( As an example: I have problems paying for schooling, and the high cost of education is part of a larger social problem related to education). Choose a couple of personal issues particular to your own life, and explain how it relates to a broader social issue. Explain how your problem goes beyond just impacting you, and how it is part of a larger social issue impacting many people. ( do not research...do not give statistics, and answer from your personal opinion and life experience) SLO2- 2 questions: 2a-Compare & contrast Functional theory from Conflict theory with regards to how each theory views the issue of poverty and inequality. How would sociologists explain the existence of poverty and social inequality? 2b-Is human social behavior innate and genetically driven, or is it largely learned through social contact and socialization? Is it one or the other, or both? Please explain. | 20 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 0 | I used assignment grades as an indicator of meeting or exceeding expectations. Exceeding was valued at grades of "A", Students meeting expectations was valued at grades of "A-" "B+" "B". Approaching expectations was valued at grades of "B-" C+" "C" and "C-". Not meeting expectations was valued at grades of "D" , "D-" or F. | Most students met or exceeded expectations. For those that did not I think an appropriate action would be to have the students rewrite the assignment after they have received graded feedback. |

I scaffold the assignment pretty well and since then I have tuned this assignment up a bit. | Going forward I plan to revise the rubric to include gradations with explanations. I also plan to spend more time on explaining the literature review portion as this is an that students had the most variability in accuracy. |

2024-2025 | Winter | Online - Asynchronous | Other | Students are expected to achieve the SLO goals because of their entire course experience rather than demonstrating it in a one-time assessment. I look for growth in their achievement of these goals throughout what they produce over the quarter. This includes Reading/Lecture Reflections, contributions to the class Discussion, two Midterms and the Final Exam. | 13 | 5 | 0 | 8 | 5 | Most of the students who did not meet expectations did not fulfill at least one of the major course requirements. The Reading/Lecture Reflections and the class Discussion were most frequently ignored. | I am at a loss for a solution to students simply choosing not to fulfill major course requirements that are clearly put forth at the beginning of the course (and which they have acknowledged that they are aware of). |
