| Data Summary | The scores from the relevant midterm questions (2) were tallied. 79 out of 90 were correct: or 87.7%. A classification quip was given towards the end of the semester. 41 our of 45 students scored 90 or higher (91% at proficiency) |
| Analysis Summary | I established 85% as an acceptable level of proficiency. Students met the target for both assessments. The review after the midterm and additional information given on the topic appears to have raised the outcome of the second assessment. |
| Next Steps Planned | While students met the target level, I'll continue to refine and improve the course materials and methodology used to cover this area of typography. |
| Learning Outcomes | Refer to previous answers. |
