YEAR 1 of a 2 YEAR CYCLE
1. ASSESSMENT MEASURES EMPLOYED
Briefly describe the assessment measures employed during the year.
What was done?
 Increase learning of student’s knowledge on the topics of AOD & sexual assault
awareness by co-sponsoring educational workshops with Student Support Services.
 Increase learning of R.A.’s and C.D.’s through collaborating with CWS on the
development of an annual Fall training session on the topic of college students and
mental health crises response.
 Determine satisfaction level of each student who participates in the disciplinary
process.
 Increase Conduct Officers knowledge of individual student development and attitudes
towards inappropriate behavior by developing a learning outcomes evaluation tool.
 Increase knowledge base of students who violated alcohol and drug policy through
on-line course (AlcoholEdu and Marijuana 101) which contained pre- and post tests.
(see attached for results)
 Assess satisfaction level and awareness of critical thinking skills of those students
who participated in the Ethics workshop by providing a satisfaction survey to each
student who successfully completed the workshop
Who participated in the process?





Student Support Services was involved with co-sponsoring one program on the topic
of sexual assault.
Counseling and Wellness staff as well as CSSC staff were involved in developing a
training workshop to increase the level of knowledge of the RA staff when dealing
with students who are experiencing mental health concerns. All RA’s and CD’s
attended the training.
Each student who was involved in the disciplinary process was sent an e-mail with a
link to the evaluation and was requested to fill it out and return.
The process of using a learning outcomes form was implemented by each conduct
officer who adjudicates violations of the code by asked all or a majority of the
questions on the assessment tool based upon the circumstances of the incident.
Any student who violated the alcohol or marijuana policy was required to complete
the AlcoholEdu and Marijuana 101 on line workshop.

Each student who successfully completed the Ethics workshop completed a
satisfaction survey.
2. ASSESSMENT FINDINGS
Sexual Assault Program
A program with Student Support Services on Men Stopping Rape was completed
on the topic of sexual assault awareness. Approximately 100 students attended.
No formal evaluation of the program was given to participants, however, the
comments from the participants was very positive. An alcohol education program
was not co-sponsored by CSSC this year.
Mental Health Training
A half day training session on student suicide and mental health crisis’s was
developed and presented with Counseling and Wellness where all ORS
paraprofessional and Hall Director staff attended (approximately 85 people) A
survey was provided to each participant. The results provided us with feedback
that was generally positive and showed that the participants learned information
about the topic they did not know before. The feedback also indicated that
changes to the program for the following year should include modifying the
delivery method of the information and the length of the program.
Conduct Process Satisfaction Survey
The results from the survey each student received after completing the disciplinary
process showed promising results.
1. 91.3% indicated they received the required notice prior to their meeting with a
conduct officer.
2. 69% responded that the on-line version of the Code was easy to access.
3. 100% indicated they felt that an opportunity was provided to them to tell “their”
side of the story.95.5% indicated their side of the story regarding the incident
was listened to by the conduct officer.
4. 62.5 % indicated they believed the sanction(s) they received as a result of their
conduct conference were appropriate.
5. 71% indicated they believed the incident and consequences caused them to think
more about how my behavior affected themselves or others.
6. 87.5% indicated the incident and its consequences have caused me to think more
about how my behavior has affected me.
7. 100% indicated they believed as a result of the incident and consequences that
they would be less likely to repeat the behavior in the future.
Interview/Observation Check List
We have implemented the process of using a learning outcomes form and ask
each student during the conduct conference process the questions on the form.
Alcohol EDU Workshop
In total, 137 Wright State University students participated in AlcoholEdu for
Sanctions (i.e. completed Survey 1 or the Pre-Test, at minimum). Seventy-four
percent (74%) of the students who participated in the AlcoholEdu surveys (ages
18 and over) completed the entire course, including all three surveys. Data from
the Alcohol EDU survey indicates the following:

Wright State University students reported an increase in their expressions of
social concern through care-taking behaviors.

Overall, Wright State University students reported an increase in the use of
protective factors after completing the course. Most notably, the percentage
of students who reported they think about their BAC while drinking
substantially increased from 40% to 66%.

90% of the students reported that AlcoholEdu prepared them to help in
situations where they have identified an alcohol overdose.

89% of the students considered that AlcoholEdu prepared them to express
concern to someone about their alcohol use.

87% of the students reported they paid attention to the course.

77% would recommend AlcoholEdu to other people.
Marijuana 101
In total, 28 students took the course and successfully completed all parts.
 The survey results indicated a 30% increase in average test scores between
pre-Test and Post Test demonstrating an enhanced knowledge about
marijuana and issues accompanying its use.
 The respondents reported that there was a positive change in their opinions
about the adverse effects of regular marijuana usage after taking the
workshop.
Ethics Survey
 The findings from the ethics workshop evaluations were very positive. The
majority of participants felt the workshop to be helpful and made them aware
of the ethical dilemmas of their inappropriate behavior. The participants
thought the workshop increased their ability to critically make decisions in the
future to avoid further negative consequences.
 The participants also shared that the course could be lengthened to further
expand on the principles and concepts addressed in the sessions.
3. List the LEARNING OUTCOMES of the program.
 Each student who is required to complete the Alcohol Edu. or Marijuana 101 class will
achieve a passing score of at least 80% on the required post test to insure retention of
knowledge contained in the workshop chapters.
 Each student who completed the AlcoholEdu program and Marijuana 101 class will have
an increased level of knowledge regarding any future use of both drugs.
 Each Conduct Officer was assisted in determining appropriate sanctions for each
violation the student was found responsible through obtaining information from the
questions asked as well as additional insight into if the student was taking responsibility
for his/her actions and to what degree they understood why their behavior was of
concern
 Each student who completes the Ethics workshop will have a better understanding of the
ethical repercussions of the decisions they make.
3. PROGRAM IMPROVEMENTS
 Collaborate with Student Support Services in order to continue to provide educational
programming for students.
 Utilize evaluation information to reformat presentation for RA’s on mental health.
 Alter some of the questions in the conduct satisfaction survey to obtain more detailed
information from the participants.
 Increase the number of sessions from 4 to 6 for each Ethics seminar offered.
4. ASSESSMENT PLAN COMPLIANCE
Explain deviations from the plan (if any).
None
5. NEW ASSESSMENT DEVELOPMENTS
Implementation of a new data-base will be able to produce additional, as well as more
accurate, statistical reports to assess who is violating the code, how they are violating it,
as well as how many times and the location of the violation.
