New Program and Courses submitted through CCR process BA Curriculum review completed and CCR’s submitted in the fall. BA approved and in place for fall of 2009. BFA in Music Theatre, Acting and Design and Technology developed in spring 2008. BFA in Music Theatre CCR submitted in summer 2008. • BA in Theatre – Program introduced is a balanced liberal arts degree that includes performance, design/technology, and research. • BFA Music Theatre – In development. Theatre Capstone Project Redesign the capstone project and performance reviews for all graduating seniors by May 2006, and bring them in line with accreditation needs. Course outcome from spring 2008 Theatre Lab and Class Work Balance course work and production. Student attendance during productions Senior Showcase parameters too loose. Need more definition and stronger parameters. Courses have been combined from a fall and spring to one course in the spring. Student progress in the classroom and in productions. Theatre Assessment Develop annual assessment procedures and learning outcomes specific to the discipline that are not based on the final grade received in the class. Develop a department student handbook that includes all the new policies and procedures. Student Audition/Interview Develop a workload policy that takes into account production assignment equivalencies, contact hours and faculty and staff work differences. Faculty workload consistent with NAST standards Senior showcase continues to not meet the needs of the students and the department. Based on the work presented in the spring of 2008 and 2007 the project will be modified again in the spring of 2009. Attendance far superior during production than in the past. Students understand that course work comes first and that productions are an extension of the work in the classroom. Faculty and Director priorities work together. This goal has been met. Assessment materials tied more to Department Learning Outcomes. Still need to work to integrate course work with department assessment audition/interview. Departmental policies to give students an understanding of the departments’ expectations of what their responsibilities are for any given production. This handbook should also impact the professional climate that we are all trying to achieve. This goal is in progress. In progress. Data has been gathered from NAST and like programs but has not been implemented. Theatre Handbook Department Bylaws Annual Report, 2007-2008 Student participation in department activities Department meetings and examination of student assessment materials. Department plans on implementing handbook fall of 2008. Faculty assignments consistent with NAST standards. 3 Program/Function/Service Strategic Goal/Objectivea Method of Assessment Summary of Assessment Resultsbc Theatre Productions Establish Season Ticket system and reserved seating for departmental productions. Audience numbers Audience numbers from the on campus community are steadily increasing. Audience numbers from the community are also increasing but not at the same rate. Season tickets can provide a better method for estimating ticket income. Student Recruitment Develop strategic plan for recruitment and growth of department. Student numbers Facilities Improvement Develop teaching space specific to Theatre disciplines. Teaching success Development Theatre Scholarship program Improve ability to recruit top students in state and region Faculty recruited at state and regional theatre conferences this last academic year. Registration is up 300% from last year. Growth is right on track with the five-year plan for the department. If the numbers go up the same amount next year the department may need to change to an audition only program. Currently none of the performance or design curriculum is delivered in a space specific to their discipline. Acting courses need to be delivered in a rehearsal hall, a large space that has enough room to work with a large cast. Scenic and Costume design need a classroom with facilities for drawing and painting and Lighting needs a light lab for students to use to present class projects. Currently the Theatre department has 3 freshman talent scholarships. To help supplement these scholarships the department needs 15 $500 scholarships to help recruit students to UWF. The department needs to develop a fund that can handle $30,000 of scholarship money that would be needed once this program was up and running. aFrom unit’s 2007-2008 strategic or action plan.

There are specific measurements that the faculty use to determine the progress of each student in the area of Critical Thinking. If you observed changes in student performance on this measure when comparing the two years, briefly describe (in one or two sentences) the nature of these changes. This is the third year of conducting this type of assessment. Refinements of the rubric were made this year based on the outcomes of last year’s assessment. The data indicates that the students performed marginally better than they did in the previous year but with the improved rubric it may actually be stronger than the numbers indicate. Use of Assessment Data for Making Decisions. Describe the process used in your department to evaluate assessment evidence and make decisions (include dates of relevant department meetings if known). Describe the decisions made to improve student learning in your program. Describe how these decisions are related to the assessment evidence collected by your department. The faculty meets to discuss the assessments immediately following the process. A general sense of the process is gathered at that time. Assessment data is discussed again when preparing for the coming year’s assessment auditions. Currently we are exploring the integration of specific data from courses in the curriculum. In addition to the data the faculty get from the audition and interview the student turn in a narrative that also identifies some of the concerns the students have about the program. These issues are very valuable for getting a sense of the student’s perspective of the department. Use of Assessment Data for Improvement of Assessment Procedures. Describe any changes made to assessment methods. Explain the relation between these changes and the information obtained from previous assessments. It is difficult to point to any one change in the department that was based solely on assessment. The department is currently experiencing change on many levels, such as curriculum and faculty. New curriculum has been introduced this year and more will be introduced this next year. The major change in the assessment process this year was a clearer definition of the rubric used in the assessment process. This change helped improve the data and added another layer of rigor to the program.

There are 3 specific measurements that the faculty uses to determine the progress of each student in the area of Project Management. If you observed changes in student performance on this measure when comparing the two years, briefly describe (in one or two sentences) the nature of these changes. As with the previous domain, the rubric for the project management was refined for this year’s assessment. Student scores were consistently higher in this area. From the data it appears that the students have a better sense of the departments expectations in this area. Use of Assessment Data for Making Decisions. Describe the process used in your department to evaluate assessment evidence and make decisions (include dates of relevant department meetings if known). Describe the decisions made to improve student learning in your program. Describe how these decisions are related to the assessment evidence collected by your department.

Annual Report, 2007-2008 8 Describe the Department’s Commitment to Assessment Activities in 2008-2009 Domain(s) to be examined in assessment plan in 2008-2009 The assessment audition/interview gives the department a good snap shot of the students progress from year to year. The priorities for this part of the assessment are to continue to improve the rubric used so that there is more consistency in the data. With the addition of data from specific courses the department can get an idea of how students are progressing in the area of Content. This will give us a more complete picture of the students progress and is not a measurement that can be made during the assessment audition/interview. Assessment question(s) to be addressed in 2008-2009 Addition of data from specific courses. Annual Report, 2007-2008 9 III.

Annual Report, 2007-2008 10 Describe the Department’s Commitment to Assessment Activities in 2008-2009 Domain(s) to be examined in assessment plan in 2008-2009 Improve current assessment material. Assessment question(s) to be addressed in 2008-2009 Need to improve assessment data to be more general and less specific to that course that semester. Data needs to cover material important to majors as well as non-majors. Theatre vocabulary would be another area to assess.
