Hello all,

For those that have already visited the “paper” folder in your d2l content, I hope you are ready to begin the assignment! I’d like to provide some talking points that you may want to include. There is a 1.5 Limit on history (unless your topic was over historical aircraft or airlines that are no longer in business). So here are a few other ideas that you can fill up those 5 pages of content with!

· History (1.5 pgs max)

· accidents from the airline

· company values, goals, objectives

· How to break into the industry/company (job requirements, leg ups, education,  etc).

· types of aircraft that are used/made by the airline or manufacturer (depending on topic)

· Any recent updates/news for the airline/company/industry

These are just a few good jumping off points to get those words flowing, but you really have some creative freedom as to what you write about, as long as it pertains to your assigned topic!

Hope that helps,

Assessment Approach Consulting

PROMPT:

The New Student Orientation (NSO) office at Midwestern University recently implemented a 2-credit course for all new orientation leaders (OLs). Students who have been selected as OLS take the course during the spring semester to prepare them to carry out their orientation duties during the summer. As a result of completing the course, OLs will be able to:

· Identify appropriate campus resources to new students and parents,

· Demonstrate effective verbal communication skills when presenting information to new students and parents, and

· Effectively facilitate small group discussions.

In order to determine if OLs are learning the necessary information to meet the course outcomes, the director of the NSO office plans to issue a survey at the end of the course.

 

The NSO office is interested in sharing data about the course and student learning involved in it with other leaders in the Division, as it could be a model for future courses to prepare students who work in a paraprofessional capacity.   The director would like feedback on the office’s plans for assessing student learning during the OL course. It is worth noting the director is new to the university and expressed a general dislike for assessment. Despite that, the director does care deeply about orientation leaders being problem solvers and information providers in their roles.

 

Considering how a divisional assessment director would consult with a colleague on a project, please answer the following questions:

1) What would you share with the NSO director and why?

2) How would you approach the NSO director and why?

3) When would you approach the NSO director in relation to the intervention (e.g., 2-credit course)?

 

COMPLETION CONSIDERATIONS:

The rubric below is provided based on related elements to the prompt, as well as common clarifying questions from the instructor based on student responses.

Regardless of quality, length of past submissions varied between 150 and 500 words. Know appropriate responses tended to be in the middle or closer to the top end of the range. This is not a hard word limit, so you can go over if needed.
