Overall, and for each Business Communication primary trait, students are meeting the
target performance levels. The Assurance of Learning Team will continue to monitor
student performance in this area with a special focus on the following areas due to
slightly lower performance (although they were still above target performance levels):
1) presenting points in a clear and logical manner (oral), 2) writing strategy (written),
and 3) logic and organization (written).
Overall, students are meeting the target performance levels for the technology learning
objective. OMIS 351 students had the most difficulty with Enterprise Resource Planning
embedded questions. The professor has planned new material for Fall 2012 to remedy
this.

related to these two core courses. A summary of the suggestions will be drafted and
once finalized will be shared with the College Senate.
