Program, Discipline or
Course Outcomes
In the boxes below,
summarize the outcomes
assessed in your program or
discipline during the last
year.
Outcome #1:
Students will correctly match
terms and definitions
associated with aspects of
oral pathology such as
diseased tissues, trauma and
genetic malformations.
Assessment Measures
Assessment Results
Use of Results
In the boxes below,
summarize the methods
used to assess program,
discipline, or course
outcomes during the last
year.
Ability to match terms
and definitions
associated with oral
pathology will be
measured by
predetermined criteria
and a vocabulary
worksheet.
In the boxes below, summarize the
results of your assessment
activities during the last year.
In the boxes below,
summarize how you are or
how you plan to use the
results to improve student
learning.
Vocabulary/Test #1 Oral
Pathology
Max Points: 20
The vocabulary and test
consists of 145 oral
pathology items.
One student failed the
exam with the remaining
students scoring above
90%,
Item analysis pointed out
two areas that confused
students. The difference
between “congenital and
inherited” and
“germination and fusion”..
During a review of the test
the instructor was able to
clear the confusion
regarding the abovementioned terms.
This process assures that
curriculum remains current
and all areas can be
assessed for student
comprehension and
learning.
145 questions
Overall Assignment
Average: 97.05%

Oral Pathology
Effect on Program, Discipline or
Course
Based on the results of this
assessment, will you revise your
outcomes? If so, please summarize
how and why in the boxes below.
No, no revision of the outcomes at
this time. The curriculum is
meeting the needs of the students
and the instruction is facilitating
learning of the curriculum.
The next assessment tool for DA
122 will focus on the student’s
ability to recognize symptoms
associated with medical
emergencies and the steps of BSL.
See Outcome #2.
Outcome #2:
Students will recognize
symptoms and list steps of
BSL (basic life support) for
patients experiencing
anaphylactic shock, allergic
reaction, hypo and
hyperglycemia, angina
pectoris, airway obstruction,
asthma, syncope,
cerebrovascular accident and
myocardial infarction.
Ability to recognize
symptoms associated
with medical
emergencies and list
steps of BSL (basic life
support) will be
measured using
predetermined criteria
and embedded test
questions.
