| Data Summary | In the first survey, the percentage of incorrect answers ranged from 11.5% to 57.7%. In the second survey, the number of incorrect answers ranged from 0-47.3%. The question where 47.3% of the students answered incorrectly, should have been better stated. |

| Next Steps Planned | I expect that in the fall, 2013 semester, I will emphasize the ideas of Confucius and his relationship with intellectuals more than I have done, have the students apply Confucianism to government issues in an essay, and hold more discussions regarding the impact of Confucianism. |
