Data Sharing Methods

Face-to-face meetings

Data Summary2 of 19 students passed with 50% overall score

17 of 19 passed with 60% or better.

4 of 19 passed with 90% or better.
Analysis SummaryGrades on this assignment higher than 60% indicate outcome achievement.
Next Steps PlannedIn consultation with colleagues throughout the state I decided that the course should be broken into two. This has been accomplished.
Learning OutcomesStudents whose grade in the theory and design portion were undermined by a lesser performance in the practical will score higher in the new theory and design course and vice versa.

Changes

DetailsThe course was rewritten as a Theory and Design course and an Installation course.
Learning OutcomesYet to be seen, but all should be affected.

Tentative Future Plans

TermSpring 2014
Activities

  • Analysis and discussion of assessment data and next steps
More DetailsThe outcomes will be divided between two courses and I expect to see improved scores in both.
