Concern
Traditional Content Test in the area More and more students are not coming into the program
of Ag Mechanics
with a skill set in the area of ag mechanics. Current
students are required to take 6 to 7 credit hours in this
area. Some concerns are with my transfer students that
transfer in the beginning mechanics course are not
bringing those basic skills in the area of mechanics.

Concern
Traditional APT Test
The constructive response assignment is a possible
concern, which there was only one low score that truly
impacted the overall average score, which was 237. The
portfolio has truly helped with their writing skills. There
are no true concerns at this time. It was just one student
that struggled in this area.

The portfolios are evaluated on a three point scale, which
the average portfolio score was 2.89. The students
continue to make strides in making direct links to their
course assignments and matching them up with the
professional education standards. There is a strong
emphasis on writing skills and it is apparent in their
portfolio scores. There are no true concerns at this time.

Traditional Program Handbook
The program handbook is an assignment required in their
methods course that is a culmination of their degree
program. The average score on the handbook is 95 on a
100 point scale. The assignment requires them to design
and construct a handbook that includes teaching
calendars, instructional unit. summer calendar, two-year
course rotation, teaching and program philosophy,
classroom management plan, and other pertinent info
regarding their program. There are no true concerns at
this time.
