boxes below:
One activity I will include in
class next semester is an in-class
exercise where they themselves
complete a "practice" Gantt and
PERT chart. This year I lectured
on the topic and they read the
information prior. During the
lecture we create an example
PERT and Gantt chart as a class.
I would take it one level down
and create an in-class workshop
when students on an individual
basis "create practice" charts will
in class.
No, not at this time. I believe it
is important for students to have
general knowledge of and
practice with Gantt and PERT
charts. It is a valid business tool.
Outcome#I
Students will be able to
differentiate between the various
kinds of standing and single-use
plans.
Students will draw sample
GANTT and PERT charts, which
will be assessed using a rubric
known to students.
The students were given two
rubrics. One required them to
create a Gantt chart and the other
a PERT chart. The average for
the Gantt chart (including those
students who didn't hand in the
assignment) was 78% and for the
PERT chart was 74% (including
those students who didn't hand in
the assignment). If you average
the results and exclude the
assignments not handed it, the
results are 87% (Gantt)/83%
(PERT).

Ability will be assessed using a
rubric known to students.
The students were given a
motivation rubric. From the
rubric they were asked to choose
two motivational theories. One
need based and one processed
based. Then they were asked to
analyze either Steve Jobs, Carly
Fiorina or the author of the book
How Starbucks Saved m)'. Life.
Results were 61 % average which
including students that didn't
tum in the assignment. Ifyou
average the results and exclude
the assignments not handed it,
the average was 80%. Motivation

The students were given a closed

In order to achieve more
participation from the class, one
of the activities I would include
would be to have them hand in a
"draft" of their report and make it
worth points. Another step I
would take would be to have
them visit the "writing center"
and assign points to this activity
as well. We did have Michelle
Montoya attend class prior to the
assignment to educate the
students on TMCC's writing
center services. Another step I
would take would be to
brainstonn with TMCC's writing
center personnel for ways to
improve participation on this
assignment.
No revision at this time.
I think one way to improve
results would be to do an in class
hands on practice exercise prior
to students taking the quiz.
No revision at this time.
