Assessment Data Discussion and Analysis
| Term | Fall 2013, Summer 2013, Spring 2013 |
|---|---|
| How and With Whom | I discussed my data with business faculty providing instruction for this same course to get their feedback on assessment analysis. My discussions were by telephone and email. |
| Number Assessed | 19 |
| Data Summary | 74% of students (14 out of 19 students) completed all assignments demonstrating their ability to record accounts payable and accounts receivable transactions into QuickBooks Pro 2012 accounting software and received a letter grade of at least a “B†or better. A score of 40 indicates that students met all outcomes measured. 59% or 11 students scored 40 or more points. A grade received on project assignments of 80% or a score of 32 indicates student learning outcomes were achieved. These results indicate that students are meeting outcomes as described in the course outline on record. |
| Planned Improvements | The assessment revealed the need to: 1. Create pre and post surveys to assess student accounting/bookkeeping knowledge; 2. Create student satisfaction survey administered at the end of the course session. |
