Data Analysis
| Data Shared With | Faculty and staff within our department |
|---|---|
| Data Sharing Methods | Face-to-face meetings |
| Data Summary | Correct responses for biocontrol questions were as follows: Q 5: 85%; Q29: 77%; Q 34: 69%; Q 37: 96% for an aggregate response of 82% correct. |
| Analysis Summary | While the outcomes dealing with biocontrol were accomplised at a "good" level in the aggregate, the weed-related question (#34) evidenced weakness in class performance. 70% is considered passing for industry based exams. |
| Next Steps Planned | Unsure about course of action at this time. Necessity of a change is unclear. |
| Learning Outcomes | If changes are made, both outcomes cited above (G and I) would be supported. |
