Data Summary | The assessments we discussed were from Fall 2012. The question for Learning Outcome D had 77% correct, Outcome E 57% correct, and Outcome I 73% correct. In Spring 2013, The question for Learning Outcome D had 80% correct, Outcome E 76% correct, and Outcome I 76% correct. |
Analysis Summary | In Fall 2012 we did not achieve satisfactory outcome for SLO E. Although the online class students answered correctly 87% of the time, the on campus class had only 35% answer correctly. Outcomes for SLO's D and I were acceptable, but there was room for improvement. In Spring 2013, there was a very large improvement in the on campus classes, from 35% correct on Outcome E to 76% correct. The other two outcomes were improved to a lesser extent. |
Next Steps Planned | At the end of December 2012, the on campus instructor planned to give practice tests and speak with the students about study habits during Spring 2013. There had been a high absentee rate in the Fall semester, and he planned to address that as well. Changes were made during Spring and the same evaluations planned to be given. |
