Data SummaryData was informal - from spring 2012 when the course was last taught. Students either loved the course or hated the course.
Analysis SummaryThose who felt negatively about the course were most concerned with the small group process, intended to put into practice client-centered assistance.
Next Steps PlannedIn discussion with other faculty we have revised the SLOs, and submitted and were approved a revision of the course outline.

All assignments have been revised, and the entire content has been improved and re-designed.
Learning OutcomesThe course is being taught Fall 2013. All of the new SLOs have been specifically tied to assignments.
