The student will…
(learning outcome—identify
at least 2 SLOs)
As measured by the following
method….
(assessment strategy)
1. Draw a full sketch of a
common-emitter amplifier
showing the transistor, with
its three terminal-leads,
collector supply voltage,
voltage-divider bias (with
two resistors), active load,
emitter and collector
resistors (3), Coupling
capacitors (2), two input
and two output terminals
for a total of seventeen
elements (including the
structural frame of the
sketch)
1. Embedded in the
quizzes and exams and
measured by comparing
with a standard
schematic diagram
showing all of the
seventeen elements of a
common-emitter amplifier.
Scored by the correct ID of
the elements
shown of a commonemitter amplifier:
14 to 17 elements are
correct: Well done.
10 to 13 elements are
correct: Satisfactory.
9 or less elements are
correct: Unacceptable.
* It is expected that at least
60% of the class will pass.

And, if applicable, scored by
the following learning rubric.
(provide attachment)
Results are examined to
determine if the outcome is
achieved. Include planned or
actual assessment date.
(include results &
evaluation if already
assessed)
1.Assessed during Fall 2010
with a student population size
ranging between 17 and 22.
The results are positive:
The success rate was 73%.
2. Plan to assess again in Fall
2011 and Fall 2012.
Recommendations to improve
teaching and learning.
(include planned
modifications if assessment
results have already been
analyzed)
It is possible to step up the
Success rate by going the
extra mile in the teachinglearning cycle:
Teach the key concepts in
more innovative ways like
drawing a simple block
diagram and adding pieces
(like in a LEGO puzzle) in
each BLOCK to make it a
Fun learning experience.
2. Draw the schematic
symbols for NPN and PNP
transistors; label the three
terminals as emitter, base,
and collector.
2. Embedded in exams
and final exam.
4 pts for NPN/PNP
6 pts for terminal labeling
Desired outcome: At least
60% of class score at least
70% or better.
Adopted by LASC Academic Senate, 9/14/10
2. Assessed in Fall 2010 with
student population ranging
between 17 and 22 with a
success rate of 82%.
Plan on assessing again in
Fall 2011 and 2012.
The results are good as they
seem to indicate. It is now
Proposed to maintain these
results on a consistent basis.
