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 4 out of 5 students or 80% 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 4 out of 5 students or 80% 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:

• Continue to make it a must for all carpentry students to use PPE for all lab periods.
• Continue to provide more hands-on practical for students to practice and improve their hand skills in building projects using given specifications.

Recommendations for students:

Students must follow the Carpentry 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 completing. Recruit only students that are interested in carpentry and willing to complete the program.
