Next Steps PlannedIn the Fall 2013 semester this class will not be taught; in its place a series of 1-unit, single subject pastry course will be taught. However, I will be creating a series of rubrics through which I will assess students performance in these courses. The course outlines for these "new" courses have a new set of outcomes which I will address in the next round of assessment.
