Data and Analysis Summary | 74% of students received a score of 87%or higher (out of 100 total points) on all rubric elements for the capstone paper . A score of 80% was considered to have met the outcomes measured. Our benchmark goal is to have 85% of our students meet the outcomes. Based on these results, we feel we are doing fine in all areas except for those students who are not completing the assignments (26%). These students may have chosen to not pass the class so that they can repeat it - as this used to be a repeatable class and many students enjoy taking it multiple times. While the students are meeting outcome of assessing the various styles, aesthetics and philosophies of the presenter, two more outcomes need to be assessed. |

Future Improvements | Instead of requiring a final paper - I may ask students to complete replies to each presenter via an online format such as a blog post so that I can assess outcomes more quickly and make adjustments as needed.Future plans also including assessments of the remaining MLOs. |
