| Assessment Description | A large number of completers moved to what I considered a positive or true response to question 8,. It seems that information on student services, which was revisited several times throughout the two days, got through to the students and their awareness of available services on campus increased.
It is interesting to note that, in the informal evaluation of the class, to which there were 21 responders, the vast majority gave an “excellent” response to all aspects of the course, including the “strategies for getting off probation,” which seems to be at odds with the results on Question 2. |
