Assessment Data Discussion and Analysis

| How and With Whom | Faculty in the same program and in other programs, students and independent small business owners. |
| Number Assessed | 30 |
| Data Summary | Our benchmark is to have 70% or more of the students who complete the course able to successfully perform each outcome. Based on these results, we feel out students are successfully achieving our outcomes, with the exception of D (creating financial graphs), which was a new outcome added to the course outline for Fall 2014. |
| Planned Improvements | There will be an additional class activity demonstrating and practicing creating financial graphs to be used in business plans. |
| 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. |
