Briefly describe the assessment measures employed during the year.
What was done?
 A satisfaction survey was sent to every student who participated in the
discipline process.
 A quarterly and yearly statistical analysis of all violations, including recidivism
rates and longitudinal data of alcohol and drug violations.
 Assessed knowledge base of students who violated alcohol and drug policy
through on-line course (AlcoholEdu and Marijuana 101) which contained preand post tests. (see attached for results)
 A satisfaction survey is provided to each student who completes the Ethics
workshop facilitated by Community Standards and Student Conduct.
 Students were required to document via a reaction paper when they
completed Alcohol EDU or Marijuana 101 to communicate what the student
learned from participating in the process.


Each Student who was involved in the disciplinary process was sent an e-mail

complete the AlcoholEdu and Marijuana 101.
Each student who successfully completed the Ethics workshop completed a
survey.

disciplinary process showed promising results.


4. 75% 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. 93.8% indicated they believed, as a result of the incident and
consequences, that they would be less likely to repeat the behavior in
the future.
Alcohol EDU
1. Data from the Alcohol EDU survey indicates that the following:

Eighty-nine percent (89%) of your students reported that AlcoholEdu
prepared them to help in situations where they have identified an
alcohol overdose.

Eighty-nine percent (89%) of your students considered that
AlcoholEdu prepared them to express concern to someone about their
alcohol use.

Eighty-eight percent (88%) of your students said they paid attention to
the course.

Eighty-nine percent (89%) found the course helpful to them.

Seventy-three percent (73%) would recommend AlcoholEdu to other
people

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 increased substantially from 49%
to 61%. Awareness of BAC is an important factor in moderating
alcohol consumption and intoxication.

Despite the influence of the College Effect, WSU students had a
higher rate of abstention and lower rates of heavy-episodic and
problematic drinking, after engaging with AlcoholEdu for
College. Furthermore, students reported that AlcoholEdu
prepared them very well to deal with problematic alcohol use.
Marijuana 101
1. As of this time, data is still not available from Marijuana 101 due to less
than the 100 students needed to complete the course during the 20072008 academic year.
Ethics Survey
1. The findings from the ethics workshop evaluations were very positive
in nature. The majority of participants felt the workshop to be helpful
and made them aware of the ethical dilemmas of their past actions.
They thought the workshop aided in their thought process and some
said they found themselves asking ethical questions daily. One student
didn’t feel they learned anything about ethics through the workshop.

The majority of participants felt that their views were changed and better
developed due to the workshop and made them think more about their
decision making. However, there were a small number of people who felt their
ethics/integrity had not changed from the beginning of the workshop to the
end and feel they already embodied a well developed ethical thought process.

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.
a. During the 07-08 academic year, 153 individuals participated in the
AlcoholEdu program; however 135 finished the entire program. Each of
those students who completed the program did so with a score of 80% or
better on the post-exam. Additional statistical data was requested from
the company for the students who finished, but has yet to be received.
b. 87 of the 87 (100%) of the students who completed the Marijuana 101
program obtained a score of at least 80%.
 Each student who participates in the Ethics workshop will, by the last session,
have a better understanding of the ethical repercussions of the decisions they
make.
a. The ethics workshop will again be offered each academic quarter.
3. PROGRAM IMPROVEMENTS
 Collaborate with the Alcohol EDU company to produce statistical report when “N”
is smaller than 100 users.
4. ASSESSMENT PLAN COMPLIANCE
