(Each of the above student learning outcomes for the general education program has a written explanation with illustrations and examples of its application within courses, as well as specific assessment criteria. Consult the GE program information pages.) Program-Level Student Learning Outcomes (PSLOs) COMSC 040 is a required course in the following degree/certificate programs: Networking and Security PSLOs 1. Provide technical support for local area networks including hardware, software, and security, and manage network uses and resources. 2. Develop security policies consistent with current standards and then provide analysis of and document security and other network issues. 3. Write code in support of network operations. Computer Support Specialist PSLOs 1. Provide technical assistance and problem resolution to computer users regarding hardware, application and operating system software, networking, and security issues. 2. Create and manage IT support systems including documentation and tracking systems. 3. Support new installations hardware, software, and peripherals, including training and documentation. Computer Systems Specialist PSLOs 1. Demonstrate technological proficiency with common operating systems, computer applications, and hardware. 2. Demonstrate the ability to analyze problems and develop effective solutions including troubleshooting common hardware and software issues. Course-Level Student Learning Outcomes (CSLOs): At the conclusion of this course, the student should be able to: CSLO 1: Describe existing and emerging technologies and their impact on organizations and society. (PLSO 1, 2 - Networking & Security; PSLO 1, 3 Computer Support Specialist; PSLO 1, 2 Computer Systems Specialist) Demonstrate an understanding of the development and use of information systems in business. (PLSO 1, 2, 3 - Networking & Security; PSLO 2 Computer Systems Specialist) and systems. (PLSO 1, 2, 3 - Networking & Security; PSLO 3 Computer Support Specialist; PSLO 1, 2 Computer Systems Specialist) Page 3 of 5

4 Assessments: CSLO 1: Describe existing and emerging technologies and their impact on organizations and society. Chapter quizzes, midterm, and final exam utilizing both objective (multiple choice) and written answer questions on computer information systems core concepts and terminology, including hardware, operating systems, applications, and networking. Example: Identify a common microprocessor used in current laptop computers. Demonstrate an understanding of the development and use of information systems in business. Chapter quizzes, midterm, and final exam utilizing both objective (multiple choice) and written answer questions on information systems including system analysis. Example: Give the five levels of the system development life cycle, explaining the role of each level. and systems. Conduct labs in business applications that encompass a range of scenarios representative of common business problems. Example: Complete a spreadsheet to determine sales commissions using absolute values where indicated. Method of Evaluation/Grading: CSLO 1: Describe existing and emerging technologies and their impact on organizations and society. A-level: The written questions on the quizzes, midterm, and final exam show a high level of comprehension of the course content, apply sound solutions to the problems or scenarios given, and are clearly written. Objective questions (e.g. multiple choice) in the quizzes and final exam demonstrate a near complete understanding of the material. Example: A current Intel or AMD microprocessor is identified. C-level: The written questions on the quizzes and in the final exam show a significant level of comprehension of the course content, but solutions to the problems or scenarios given can be confusing or missing some elements. Objective questions (e.g. multiple choice) in the quizzes and final exam demonstrate a substantial understanding of the material. Example: A current Intel or AMD microprocessor is not identified. Demonstrate an understanding of the development and use of information systems in business. A-level: The written questions on the quizzes, midterm, and final exam show a high level of comprehension of the course content, apply sound solutions to the problems or scenarios given, and are clearly written. Objective questions (e.g. multiple choice) in the quizzes and final exam demonstrate a near complete understanding of the material. Example: All five levels of the system development life cycle are given with accurate descriptions of each. C-level: The written questions on the quizzes and in the final exam show a significant level of comprehension of the course content, but solutions to the problems or scenarios given can be confusing or missing some elements. Objective questions (e.g. multiple choice) in the quizzes and final exam demonstrate a substantial understanding of the material. Example: Less than five levels of the system development life cycle are given with one or more inaccurate or incomplete descriptions. and systems. A-level: Labs in word processing, spreadsheet, database, presentation and other applications that have been executed with rare errors and all parts have been completed. Example: An absolute reference to the spreadsheet cell containing the commission amount is used. C-level: Labs in word processing, spreadsheet, database, presentation and other applications that have been executed with some errors and some parts not having been completed. Example: An absolute reference to the spreadsheet cell containing the commission amount is not correctly used. Page 4 of 5
