PSLO Assessment Report Summary

What we looked at:

The Carpentry certificate assessment focused on (PSLO #1) the awareness and importance of safety and occupational health in the construction trade and (PSLO #3) familiarizing and improving their hand skills in building projects according to specifications. Listed below are the results for each of the PSLOs.

What we found:

The results of the written and practical exams showed that 12 out of 14 students or 86% got a "C" or better in wearing the right personal protective equipment (PPE) like safety helmet, safety mask, safety gloves, safety glasses, safety shoes, proper clothing, and etc. during hands-on practices.
The results of the written and practical exams showed that 14 out of 14 students or 100% got a "C" or better in estimating materials needed for table tops, legs, rails, benches, legs for the bed frames, front and back rails and the flooring from a set of blueprints.
The results of the written and practical exams showed that 7 out of 8 students or 88% got a "C" or better in estimating materials needed for floors, walls, ceilings, and roofs from a set of blueprints.

What we are planning to work on:

Provide a check list for PPE for every student to use before lab periods.
Provide a complete set of sketch or working drawing for students to practice their estimating skills.

Recommendations for students:

Students must follow the Cabinet Making program suggested schedule in the COM-FSM General Catalog in order to complete their study in a timely matter. Students enrolled in this program as their major of study must remain in it until completeing.
