Next Steps Planned

The data shows both PSLO are being achieved with high proficiency. As a result, there aren’t any changes on the program level. However, the department SLO assessment reporting sheet was modified which should help reporting SLO/PSLO data, making it easier to see across the programs. For example, a new section titled “examples” will help internal dialog.
