Changes

Details	The factual rules of Auditing changed for 2 subject areas in December 2013-- Therefore I changed the powerpoints and the quizzes and tests I also emphasized the quizzes in one section, because student surveys found this item to be the most helpful in Fall 2012.
Learning Outcomes	The outcomes supported were the content outcomes @1#, #2 and #5

Tentative Future Plans

Term	Fall 2013
Activities	Assessment (measurement) of outcomes Analysis and discussion of assessment data and next steps
