| Data Sharing Methods | Website review and commentary |
| Data Summary | 80% of students (8/10) met both SLO's with at least 75% correctness, ie.: 1. For SLO 1: At least 80% of students in class wrote 6/8 or better topic sentences. 2. For SLO 2: 80% of students identified the main clause in 8/10 of the complex sentences |
| Analysis Summary | 80% of the students have achieved the outcome by successfully meeting criteria for both SLO's on final quizzes by completing task with 75% correctness or better. |
| Next Steps Planned | I did address the needs and issues of last assessment by reinforcing the SLO measured skills in classwork assignments and practice. Improving the SLO success rate any further is limited by the cognitive functioning, academic preparation and continued attendance of the students in my classes. My next goal is to look at pre-requisites for the class and for improving student retention. |
