Data Summary1. 72% of students (21 out of 29 students) completed all assignments demonstrating their ability to record accounts payable and accounts receivable transactions into QuickBooks 2012 accounting software.

2. 82% or 24 students received a letter grade of at least a “B” or better.

3. 82% of students recorded full attendance or 15 hours.

2. Create student satisfaction survey administered at the end of the course session.
