The SLO Committee at Modesto Junior College has recognized the
essential connection between curriculum design and the "outcomes," or
feedback from student learning in response to that curriculum design.
The committee prepared this paper to detail how the college would
strategically respond to WASC . By abandoning the language of
"outcomes" and focusing on learning objectives already existing on
course outlines, the committee was confident that the college had
already identified some of the most essential elements necessary for SLOs.

Pasadena City College’s  Dental Hygiene Program is highly diverse.  In the
graduating
class of 2005, there were many Hispanic students, several Armenians, and a number
of other non-White students. To create a multi-cultural environment, the program
has made a major effort to recruit a diverse faculty, a difficult goal in an
occupational area that remains predominantly White.  The program beat the odds
by actively recruiting as instructors people who work part-time or even
full-time in industry.

The personal experiences of the former d ....

This pre-requisite course, Introduction to Dental Hygiene (DHYG 100), 
was first offered in Fall 1997.  It has been offered once each semester 
and now is offered during the summer.  The course was designed to 
introduce students to the expectations of the dental hygiene profession, 
anatomy of the mouth, dental terminology, OSHA requirements, and 
study strategies.  The course was developed because program faculty 
were encountering students who were less prepared for the program 
than previous cohorts.  Faculty report that it has becom ....
