Data Summary96% of the WKEX 301, 302, 303 students surveyed believed that they benefited from writing the reflective Work Experience term paper in Spring 2013.

100% of WKEX 301, 302, 303 students surveyed agreed that participating in a Work Experience class in Spring 2013 was a worthwhile experience for them.

84% of the COMBINED WKEX 301, 302, 303 STUDENTS received a grade of Pass in Spring 2013 (including a satisfactory review from their supervisors) in SPRING 2013. 67/80 = 84%

83% of the registered WKEX 301 students received a grade of Pass in Spring 2013 (including a satisfactory review from their supervisors). 5/6 = 83%

60% of the registered WKEX 302 students received a grade of Pass in Spring 2013 (including a satisfactory review from their supervisors). 3/5 = 60%

86% of the registered WKEX 303 students received a grade of Pass in Spring 2013 (including a satisfactory review from their supervisors). 59/69 = 86%
Analysis SummaryAn 80 percent (or higher) satisfaction rate and an 80 percent (or higher) course pass rate indicate outcome achievement.
Next Steps PlannedFor the Fall 2013 semester, students will begin using Insight as a tech-enhanced component of the WKEX classes. Students will participate in discussion forums and will have access to a wide variety of employment-related resources. By sharing their experiences and resources, students should have a richer experience and a greater opportunity to learn from each other more about the employment options in a variety of fields. The student self-assessment/satisfaction survey will be administered the week of December 2, 2013, and will contain a new question about students' evaluation of the role of Insight in the class.
Learning Outcomes• Demonstrate an understanding of the relationship between education and job success

• Explore the fields in which students are interested to help them determine whether or not those fields are suitable for them

• Broaden their knowledge of the occupational world and of working conditions in their communities
