Assessment Data Discussion and Analysis
| Term | Fall 2013 |
|---|---|
| How and With Whom | Discuss and review data with faculty and staff in same program. |
| Number Assessed | 9 |
| Data Summary | 100% of students received a score of 3 or higher (out of 5) on the 4 aspects of their final projects. The lowest scores were for Outcome D; Contrast the differences between parametric and pixel editing. I believe that this is a result of the preponderance of emphasis in the course focused on Lightroom skills rather than Photoshop skills. I propose to bring instruction in these 2 applications closer to parity in the next semester. |
| Planned Improvements | Being the migration from Adobe Lightroom to Adobe Photoshop near the midpoint of the semester rather than approximately 2/3 through. |
| Program Review Link | Yes, the above future improvements require resources that will be requested during the next annual PROGRAM REVIEW cycle. Examples: additional staff, equipment, software, consulting services, etc. |
Future Plans

|---|---|
| Activities | Assessment (measurement) of outcomes, Analysis and discussion of assessment data and next steps, Implementation of planned changes and reassessment |
| Details | Refocus the timeline for this course, de-emphasizing review of prerequisite materials in favor of more advanced functionality. Results of student projects indicate their capacity to move more rapidly through course content and tackle more advanced topics and tasks. |
