1 Assessment: Course Four Column Fall 2017 El Camino: (FA) - Music ECC: MUSI 102A:Beginning Sightsinging SLO #3 Sing Minor Scales - Upon completion of the course, students should be able to sing minor scales, all simple intervals, short diatonic melodies, major and minor triads in root position, and clap a rhythmic example in simple meter featuring subdivisions of the beat. Course SLO Assessment Cycle: (Fall Input Date: 04/03/ /23/2019 Exam/Test/Quiz - Students individually demonstrated their ability to sing, an in class exam, of Schubert's (The Organ Grinder) melody in F minor, using solfege and clapping the simple meter in 4/4. Each excerpt was preceded with the minor scale sung with its tonic minor triad in root position. Standard and Target for Success: It was expected that 80% of the students will orally perform the selected melodic example with 80% accuracy in notes, rhythms, and the solfege system. Based on the data collected 50% of the students performed with 90% accuracy, 40% performed with 80% accuracy and 10% performed with 70% accuracy. Overall strengths: The melodic excerpt was well-prepared by 80% of the students and they were able to successfully use the solfeggio system with 90% accuracy in tone, syllables and rhythm. They worked in teams and supported each other in preparation for the exam. Areas of Improvement: Ear training of intervals continues to be a challenging area for the beginning sight-singing student. (02/27/2018) % of Success for this SLO: 90 Faculty Assessment Leader: Joanna Nachef Action: Drill the intervals on a weekly basis (02/27/2018) Generated by Nuventive Improve Page 1 of 23

2 ECC: MUSI 103B:Theory and Musicianship II SLO #3 Common Chord Modulations - Upon completion of the course, students should be able to identify and analyze with Roman numerals common-chord modulations between closely-related keys in music written by composers from the Classical Era (Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven). 18 (Fall Project - During the final weeks of the semester, students were given a take-home final project where they were asked to analyze several excerpts with Roman numerals. Two of the excerpts, Haydn s Sonata in e minor, Hob. XVI: 34, III, mm and Mozart s Sonata, K. 330, II, mm. 1-8, contained common-chord modulations. Standard and Target for Success: It is expected that at least 80% of students will score 75% or above on this SLO. Twenty five students took the assessment. The average score was 80.2%. Twenty out of twenty five students (80%) scored 75% or better on the assessment. Sixteen students out of twenty five (64%) scored 80% or above and eight (32%) scored 90% or above on the assessment. The highest score was 99% (two students), and the lowest score was 39%. Raw scores (from low to high) 39%, 55%, 55%, 56%, 68%, 75%, 76%, 79%, 79%, 80%, 80%, 81%, 82%, 83%, 84%, 88%, 88%, 90%, 91%, 91%, 92%, 97%, 98%, 99%, 99% Although the target for success was met (exactly 80% of students scored 75% or above), five students (20%) did score below 75% and four of these students scored below 60%. This indicates that even though most students were successful analyzing excerpts containing common-chord modulations with Roman numerals, 16% of the class (four out of twenty five) did not fully understand the topic. (02/13/2018) % of Success for this SLO: 80 Faculty Assessment Leader: Patrick Schulz Action: This topic (common-chord modulation) is studied for at least three weeks during Music 103B and is reviewed during the opening weeks of the next theory class (Music 203). Hopefully, students who did not fully understand the topic in Music 103B will master it in Music 203. In future Music 103B classes, I will show students further musical excerpts during class that feature common-chord modulations. The best way to practice the concept is to analyze many different musical excerpts. Furthermore, I will keep encouraging students who need further help to stop by office hours and/or work with the music tutors. (06/08/2018) 01/23/2019 Generated by Nuventive Improve Page 2 of 23

(11/30/ % of Success for this SLO: Faculty Assessment Leader: Alan Chan Action: Most students are able to identify many of the important jazz figures, characteristics of the style in historical context in general terms. However, students would need to pay close attention to historical details and definitions of terms, especially the exams are in multiple choice format. It is advised to review some of these concepts periodically during the semester. Students should be reminded to do more listening at home to better associate their knowledge to the music itself, since there is not enough time in class to listen to all listening assignments given during the week.

7 ECC: MUSI 116:History of Rock Music SLO #3 Musical Style Periods - Upon successful completion of this course, the student should be able to distinguish among the characteristics of various historical musical style periods. 18 (Fall Essay/Written Assignment - In MUSI 116 students are given two listening quizzes and listening section on their midterm and final exam. These questions require them to pinpoint artists and songs from different periods of rock history by identifying different musical components by ear. For listening tests the instructor will play a section of a song for students, seconds of music. Students must infer from this sound clip artist, style, song, or time period information. Standard and Target for Success: It is expected that 85% of students will score 75% or above on this SLO Listening exams for these tests were taken from listening sections within the text book. Students were required to be familiar with material about all of these compositions. The actual listening examples were posted to students myecc account as a link for easy access. of Quizzes pertaining to SLO #3: Students who scored above 75% - 91% Students who scored below 75% - 9% of Listening Sections of Midterm and Final Exam pertaining to SLO #3 Students who scored above 75% - 87% Students who scored below 75&- 13% Average above 75% in Listening Quizzes and in sections on Midterm and Final: 89% (03/01/2018) % of Success for this SLO: 89 Faculty Assessment Leader: Jonathan Kleinhans Action: Additional Music to be used on listening exams. There is a lot of music that needs to be covered in a rock history class. Not all of this material is covered in the listening sections of textbooks. Some of these examples are historically important records and some serve to highlight style and era considerations. These examples are often overlooked or under examined due to time constraints. I propose a longer/broader listening list that would further inform student understanding of key elements in rock music and force exposure to more nuances of rocks diversity. This would be additional listening examples considered important by each individual instructor. (12/31/2018) 01/23/2019 Generated by Nuventive Improve Page 7 of 23

Standard and Target for Success: I expect that 70% of my students will score 75% or higher on this activity. 90% of my students scored 75% or higher on this SLO. Students performed very well on this SLO. I was quite happy with this result, since hands-together arpeggios are quite challenging in terms of both fingering and coordination, and many students find them to be one of the most difficult technical skills that we work on in this class. I did a significant amount of in-class individual coaching on this skill, and I believe that the most important finding from this data is that one-on-one observation and assistance are invaluable in terms of helping students to achieve mastery of challenging technical exercises (03/02/2018) % of Success for this SLO: 90 Faculty Assessment Leader: Polli Chambers-Salazar Action: One teaching strategy that I believe could be implemented as an enhancement to the teaching of this SLO would be to integrate instruction on how to practice hands-together arpeggios using an additive technique. I will teach the students to begin their practice session by playing only the first 4 notes of the arpeggio hands-together, a range which includes the first position shift in the right hand arpeggio. Once they have mastered this, I will teach them to add one note at a time, repeating each segment until it is easy to play. They will be encouraged to first add notes going up the keyboard, and then to take a break before beginning the process on the descending side of the arpeggio. (03/02/2018) Follow-Up: I have been teaching my students to begin their arpeggio practice session by playing only the first 4 notes of the arpeggio hands-together, a range which includes the first position shift in the right hand arpeggio.
