Action: This was a very successfulsemester in terms of SLOexpectations and the desired results.My action is to continue to use thismethodology in this course in thefuture. My recommendation wouldbe to purchase more piano keyboardcontrollers, and music fundamentalsoftware for the music lab in orderfor the students to be able to workon class assignments outside of class.In addition, the Music departmentneeds to hire a dedicated music labassistant to be available for thestudents throughout the semesteryear.

Standard and Target for Success: Itis expected that 70% students thattook the tests will score at least 70%on each test.

Faculty Assessment Leader: Mandeda UchFaculty Contributing to Assessment:Reviewer's Comments:

Action: I want to set the standard at75% of students passing each test,because listening to music critically isone of the most important activity inthis class. Of the 9 tests given, 6 arealready at a 75% or higher. Toachieve this I will have 3 tests for allsections. I feel that there is animbalance amount of tests betweenthe online and offline classes. Theonline classes (sections 9129 and9130) have two, while the offlinehave 5 tests. (12/09/2016)Action Category: TeachingStrategies

Standard and Target for Success:The standard for success is based ona point system of 0-4. I expect atleast 70% of the student to pass.The students must perform the piecein its entirety to pass with a C. 0=Fail(no performance); 1=D (studentsperformed, but with many wrongsnotes, fingering, and did not play theentire piece; 2=C (this is a pass, butthe performance is less than 80beats of the metronome, one to twowrong notes, stopped 1 or 2 times,inconsistent fingerings, but thestudents played through the end);3=B (stopped once, one or twowrong notes, changed fingering);4=A (Excellent, the performance hasno wrong notes, fingering, norinconsistent rhythm).

Faculty Assessment Leader: Mandeda UchFaculty Contributing to Assessment:Reviewer's Comments:

Action: For future assessments Iwant at least a 90% success rate.This requires that the MusicDepartment have ample functionalpracticing rooms. At the momentonly 3 are available. Successfulperformances required students topractice outside of the classroomregularly. Not having enough spaceswill limit student's success.(12/11/2016)Action Category: Program/CollegeSupport

Faculty Assessment Leader: Tim DavisFaculty Contributing to Assessment:Reviewer's Comments:

Action: Program/College- The musicdepartment is in great need ofadditional faculty along with currentmusic technology.

Faculty Assessment Leader: Harvey EstradaFaculty Contributing to Assessment: Harvey EstradaReviewer's Comments:

Action: The department of music atthe Compton Center is under-supported in terms of Studentapplied lessons for both vocal andinstrumental students. The AppliedLessons are a requirement set by theDepartment of Education for Musicstudents (which is a standard forcollege music students world wide)to complete at the CommunityCollege before graduating ortransferring to a Four Year University.Once the student is accepted into theUniversity, their applied lessons willcontinue at that University until theycomplete their B.A. Degree. This is aserious situation at the ComptonCenter and until it corrected Musicstudent enrollment will continue tobe low. The faculty has pointed thisout in the El Camino College Catalogto the college administratorsnumerous times over the last 10years.This needs to be corrected A.S.A.P.(01/11/2016) (01/11/2016)

The only draw backwas a little nervousness from the vocalist, which was totallynormal since she were performing in front of a live audiencefor the first time. (01/11/2016)
