10a. Describe all the assessment method(s) you used to gather data this semester and the outcomes to which they pertain?
(Describe only those assessments for which you plan to report data in this or a later progress report.
The more detail and examples you provide, the better. Sample assessments can include quizzes, surveys, assignments, direct observations, interviews, focus groups, licensing exam and placement rates, banner data, external data, and more.)
10b. Data you reviewed during this reporting period was gathered when?
10c. How and with whom did you discuss, review, and analyze your data? (Examples: faculty and staff in the same program, other programs, other colleges; students; external accreditors; employers; etc.)
10d. How many individuals were assessed?
(How many people (students or if reporting on AUOs or SSOs -- your served constituents) completed the assessment and provided data that you reviewed? Enter a whole number. No text.
10e. Summarize the data you received from your assessments, the criteria you used to determine success, and the analysis you completed. (Example: 75% of students received a score of 3 or higher (out of 5 total points) on all rubric elements for our capstone assignment except the one having to do with critical thinking. A score of 3 was considered to have met the outcomes measured. Our benchmark goal is to have 70% of our students meet the outcomes. Based on these results, we feel we are doing fine in all areas except critical thinking. OR Our surveys combined with focus group interviews indicate we are meeting 3 outcomes, but missing the mark in 2 outcomes.)
10f. IF APPLICABLE: What future improvements do you plan to implement based on assessment data? Include timeline. (How did you decide to address the needs and issues that were revealed by the assessment, if any?)
10g. CHECK BOX IF TRUE: Yes, the above future improvements require resources that will be requested during the next annual PROGRAM REVIEW cycle. Examples: additional staff, equipment, software, consulting services, etc.
