Data Analysis

Data Sharing Methods
  • Face-to-face meetings
  • Email
  • Phone
  • Shared document files
Data Summary80% of the students were able to answer 60% of the questions correctly.

The questions were comparable to, but on average more difficult than, those on the State Licensing examination, so 90% of students should score 60% or better on law questions asked in the the State Licensing exam.
Analysis SummaryIt appears that a grade of 60% or higher for the course indicates that the student is prepared to pass the State Licensing exam.
Next Steps PlannedPlanning per se was not required because all adjustments are made immediately -- Changes in exam questions (added new questions, removed ambiguities in existing ones, etc.); tweaked the manner of presenting some topics.
