Data Analysis
| Data Shared With | Faculty and staff within our department |
|---|---|
| Data Sharing Methods | Face-to-face meetings |
| Data Summary | FINAL EXAM: > 30% of students got answered the following questions correctly: - What is one advantage for using viruses for recombinant protein expression in mammalian cells? - Fill in the blank in the following statement. Enzymes enhance the rate and ________________________ of chemical reactions. For the remainder of the questions greater than 75% of the students answered satisfactorily. Lab notebook reviews showed most students improved throughout the semester. Most students completed each section of the notebook satisfactorily. |
| Analysis Summary | Assessments – determine if each SLO is being met. 2.2.1. Exams with each question mapped to one or more SLO. Scores for each question tabulated. Success for each question; and therefore, each SLO will be determined. For each question: • If >75% of students answer a question satisfactorily no major changes to course material or presentation is planned. • If between 50 and 75% answer question satisfactorily, examine the following and make changes if needed. o Difficulty of question o Course material related to the question/SLO o Level of pre-course preparedness for students missing question. • If <50% of students answer a question satisfactorily examine the following and make changes to improve student attainment of SLO. o Difficulty of question o Course material related to the question/SLO o Level of pre-course preparedness for students missing question. |
| Next Steps Planned | Stress topics missed in test questions (6.c.) in lectures. May not have emphasized the importance of these topics enough during class. Add a new experiment to the course: immunoprecipitation. This is an important technique that is not taught in the Biotech program. |
