GENERAL STUDIES:DURING FALL 2012 AND SPRING 2013, 50 STUDENTS WERE SAMPLED (26 IN FALL AND 24 IN SPRING). STUDENTS IN THE GENERAL STUDIES PROGRAM ARE ABLE TO DEMONSTRATE AN ARRAY OF COMPETENCY FROM ORAL AND WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS, SCIENTIFIC REASONING, CRITICAL THINKING AND TECHNOLOGY.THREE SCIENCE FACULTY MEMBERS SCORED IN THEIR CLASSES ON A FIVE-POINT RUBRIC. NO ADJUNCT FACULTY SCORED STUDENTS IN THEIR CLASSES.COURSES SAMPLED: BIOL 150, GEOL 105, CHEM 116, PHYS 102, BIOL 220, SOIL 210OVERALL, 29 OF 50 STUDENTS SCORRED A 3 OR ABOVE THE FIRST COMPETENCY QUESTION, AND 23 OF 50 STUDENTS SCORED A 3 OR ABOVE THE SECOND COMPETENCY QUESTION.THE AVERAGE MEAN SCORE FOR THE ACADEMIC YEAR WAS 3.182 FOR THE FIRST COMPETENCY QUESTION AND 3.075 FOR THE SECOND COMPETENCY QUESTION. THE FINAL SCORE MAY HAVE BEEN INFLUENCED BY SOME STUDENTS WHO DID NOT TAKE THE FINAL EXAM.2. BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION:THERE WAS AN AVERAGE OF 30 STUDENTS ENROLLED IN VARIOUS BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION PROGRAMS FOR THE 2012-2013 ACADEMIC YEARS, AND CONTINUES TO BE THE SECOND LARGEST. FALL SEMESTER ENROLLMENT TOTALED 27 STUDENTS AND SPRING SEMESTER HAD 30 STUDENTS ENROLLED. THE BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION PROGRAM GRADUATED A TOTAL OF THREE STUDENTS IN THE 2012-2013 SCHOOL YEARS. THREE OF THE GRADUATING STUDENTS PLAN TO ENROLL OR HAVE ENROLLED AS OF FA-13 IN THE BACHELOR OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION PROGRAM.IN TOTAL, THERE ARE SIX OUTCOMES ACROSS ALL OF THE BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION DEGREE PLANS, THESE OUTCOMES HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF THE BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION ADVISORY COMMITTEE, SITTING BULL COLLEGE FACULTY, AND ASSESSMENT COMMITTEE MEMBERS. PREVIOUS EFFORTS HAVE BEEN FOCUSING ON MAKING THE OUTCOMES MEASUREABLE, AND ARE STILL A PRIORITY. THERE IS ONE MAIN ASSESSMENT ISSUE THAT THE ASSOCIATE LEVEL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION PROGRAM HAS WORKED ON THIS YEAR AND WOULD LIKE TO IMPROVE IN THE UPCOMING YEAR.WORKIN WITH ADJUNCT INSTRUCTORS TO BETTER INCORPORATE ASSESSMENT TOOLS THROUGHOUT THE PROGRAM. INCORPORATE AREAS OF WEAKNESS AS ASSERTED IN LAST YEAR ASSESSMENTS.ONE NOTED CONCERN LAST YEAR THAT HAS BEEN INCORPORATED IS THE MARKETING AND BUSINESS PLANNING. CLASSES HAVE CONTINUED TO INCORPORATE SMALL BENCHMARKING THROUGHOUT THE SEMESTER; THIS ALLOWS THE STUDENT TO COMPLETE THE PROJECT ON TIME AS LONG AS THE STUDENT IS IN ATTENDANCE.TWO RECOMMENDATIONS CAME FROM STUDENTS. ONE IS TO SPEND MORE TIME ON POWER POINT AND THE MECHANICS. AND THE OTHER IS TO HAVE MORE FIELD RELATED CLASSES. THE BUSINESS DEPARTMENT HAS INCORPORATED LEARNING OUTCOMES AS THEY RELATE TO TEH BUSINESS CLASSES, AND RESEARCH PAPERS. THESE ARE GIVEN TO STUDENTS TO LEARN AND UNDERSTAND THE PROCESS AS IT RELATES TO BUSINESS CLASS MATERIAL AND INSTRUCTION.TWO CHANGES THAT WE AND OR THE BUSINESS PROGRAM MADE THIS YEAR TO INCREASE STUDENT LEARNING:ADDED ANOTHER FACULTY MEMBER, THIS WILL HELP STUDENTS FOCUS MORE ON THE MATERIAL AND ALSO ENCOURAGE AND FOSTER GROWTH INTO THE FOUR YEAR PROGRAM.ANOTHER IS THE POWER POINT AND OUTLINING AS IT RELATES TO CLASS AND STUDENTS. MORE CLASS TIME WILL BE SPENT UTILIZING TECHNOLOGY AS A MEANS OF COMMUNICATING AND EXPRESSING ONESELF.WHAT PROMPTED THESE CHANGES?WHAT PROMPTED THESE CHANGES WERE FROM REVISITING THE PROGRAM OUTCOMES, STUDENT EVALUATIONS, AND SOLICITING FEEDBACK FROM FACULTY. OVERALL WHAT WE LEARNED FROM PREVIOUS SEMESTERS.3. NURSING:THE FACULTY AND STUDENTS FOR THE DIVISION OF NURSING ASSESSMENT COMMITTEE REVIEWED THE ASSESSMENT AND PROGRAM DATA FOR THE 2012-2013 ACADEMIC YEAR ON APRIL 30, 2013. ALL FIRST YEAR AND SECOND YEAR STUDENTS WERE INCLUDED IN THE END OF THE TERM ASSESSMENT MEETINGS TO REVIEW TEXTS, COURSES, AND THE PROGRAM FOR EACH SEMESTER. THE SPRING SEMESTER MEETING INCLUDED A REVIEW OF THE OVERALL YEAR. THE HESI RESULTS WERE REVIEWED SEPARATELY WITH THE FACULTY AS THESE RESULTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE UNTIL MAY 2ND.THE NURSING PROGRAM STARTED THE FALL SEMESTER WITH 32 STUDENTS IN VARIOUS STAGES OF THE PROGRAM. 18 STUDENTS RETURNED FROM THE SPRING SEMESTER OF 2012. TWO STUDENTS RETURNED FROM OTHER SEMESTERS. THE SPRING SEMESTER HAD 15 RETURNING STUDENTS FROM THE FALL SEMESTER AND 2 FROM A PREVIOUS SEMESTER. THE TOTAL COUNT OF STUDENTS DECLARING NURSING A MAJOR FOR THE SEMESTER WAS 22. THIS REFLECTS THE DROP IN ENROLLMENT EXPERIENCED BY THE ENTIRE COLLEGE DURING THIS SPRING SEMESTER.THE PRACTICAL NURSING BASIC PROGRAM WILL GRADUATE 3 STUDENTS. ONE STUDENT HAS A JOB. THE REMAINING 2 HAVE NOT YET BEGUN THE JOB SEARCH BUT INTEND TO WORK.OVERALL, STUDENTS REMAIN VERY HAPPY WITH THE PROGRAM. THIS YEAR WE EXPANDED THE HEAD TO TOE ASSESSMENT EXPERIENCE SO THAT THE SECOND YEAR STUDENTS DEMONSTRATED ON THE FIRST YEAR STUDENTS DURING THE FALL SEMESTER. IN THE SPRING THE FIRST YEAR STUDENTS DEMONSTRATED ON THE SECOND YEAR STUDENTS WITH THE OTHER STUDENTS PROVIDING EVALUATION AND FEEDBACK. THIS WAS VERY WELL RECEIVED AND STUDENTS ARE DEMONSTRATING STRONGER ASSESSMENT SKILLSSTUDENTS ARE ALSO VERY HAPPY WITH THE TEXTBOOKS IN GENERAL. THEIR RECOMMENDATIONS WERE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT WHEN ORDERING TEXTBOOKS FOR EACH SEMESTER.HESI EXAM SCORES WERE LOWER THIS YEAR. THE HESI EXAM SHOWED NO OVERALL WEAKNESS WITH THE PROGRAM EXCEPT WITH LOWER SCORES IN PATHOPHYSIOLOGY RELATED TO ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY AND IN LIFESPAND CONTENT. PATHOPHYSIOLOGY WAS SIGNIFICANT PROBLEM THIS YEAR. FALL WILL HAVE GREATER EMPHASIS ON PATHOPHYSIOLOGY IN ALL COURSEWORK AND CLINICAL WORK.STUDENTS CONTINUE TO BE UNPREPARED TO STUDY AND DO THE WORK NECESSARY TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN NURSING COURSES. IN THE DISCUSSION WITH STUDENTS AS A GROUP AND INDIVIDUALLY, IT IS NOTED THAT MOST OF THE STUDENTS ADMITTED TO NOT STUDYING OUTSIDE OF CLASS AND BEING UNPREPARED FOR THE STUDY SKILLS NECESSARY TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN THE NURSING PROGRAM. THERE IS ALSO AN ACCOUNTABILITY ISSUE WITH COMING IN TO PRACTICE SKILLS, TURNING IN ASSIGNMENTS, AND FOR THEIR OWN STUDY HABITS. THE FACULTY CONTINUE TO WORK WITH THE STUDENTS ON THESE SKILLS. 7193002 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 86 0 1 187 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 8 8 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 0 X LEONICA ALKIRE 7018548005 9299 HIGHWAY 24 FORT YATES ND 58538 DAVE ARCHAMBAULT 1.50 X X 1650 0 0 ERROL CROWGHOST 1.50 X 1650 0 0 RON BROWN OTTER 1.50 X X 1650 0 0 ROBERT GIPP 1.50 X 1950 0 0 FRANK JAMERSON 1.50 X 1650 0 0 GERMAINE DEMERY 1.50 X 1800 0 0 ADELLE WHITE 1.50 X X 1650 0 0 JEFF CADOTTE SR 1.50 X 1650 0 0 LAUREL VERMILLION 40.00 X 83842 0 10441 LEONICA ALKIRE 40.00 X 65428 0 8530 162920 0 18971 0 0 0 0 FIRST DAKOTA ENTERPRISE 913 S 18TH ST FORT PIERRE SD 57532 CONSTRUCTION 263606 1 657433 657433 GOVERNMENTAL PROGRAM GRANTS 611600 8422430 8422430 TUITION AND OTHER LOCAL 611600 1408612 1408612 9831042 44493 44493 CONSTRUCTION 230000 120851 120851 SBC LABORATORIES 541380 45826 45826 SBC TECH 541519 4662 4662 171339 10704307 9831042 171339 44493 1128571 1128571 146141 146141 3817259 2208971 1608288 748064 362649 385415 269829 163932 105897 30676 30676 34264 34264 251736 251736 400422 328528 71894 1123709 1123709 BOOKS/PROGRAMS/STUDENT 1553192 1051407 501785 EQUIPMENT RENTAL AND MA 525158 366530 158628 SUPPLIES 470611 172435 298176 CONSTRUCTION 122938 122938 17191 17191 10639761 7193002 3446759 0 1542877 855267 1160798 1249725 180957 160454 336158 336158 91957 114185 81930 36939 28634836 6955525 21912446 21679311 258302 1169432 251755 306362 25817180 25907833 187364 41605 675563 817399 184958 214988 1047885 1073992 X 1500127 1847062 21912446 21679311 1356722 1307468 24769295 24833841 25817180 25907833 64546 0 X 0 1 X 0 1 1 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 1501929 -12336 120414 1369179 1539673 7120 57964 102828 1501929 1574783 2255 9050 46415 1539673 1490197 27634 61945 4993 1574783 1486397 12169 137180 145549 1490197 0.10000 0.90000 0 0 114285 114285 25871861 5106999 20764862 1628454 1220824 407630 1020236 627702 392534 21679311 ACCRUED COMPENSATION AND VACATION 132918 ACCRUED RETIREMENT 82070 214988 X 9896411 0 9896411 807896 807896 10704307 9831865 0 9831865 807896 807896 10639761 DESCRIPTION OF INTENDED USE OF ENDOWMENT FUNDS: PART V, LINE 4: THE ENDOWMENT FUNDS ARE TO BE USED FOR SCHOLARSHIPS TO STUDENTS AND TO SUPPORT THE COLLEGE'S ACTIVITIES.
