Use of Assessment Results: This was the first year for the pre/post tests to be
administered online. Students were encouraged to complete the tests, but the results
indicate that a large number did not complete the post test. In the future, faculty will be
better advised to encourage students to complete the test. Several questions with low
incremental gains had a high initial score. The art faculty will need to reevaluate these
and consider increasing their level of difficulty in order to achieve the 10% goal.
