Summary of Data Collected
Use of Results
One session was offered for
2012-2013 Academic year. 23
students were enrolled. 83% of
students achieved satisfactory
performance based on the
course assessment
requirements.
The results reflect that the intended
outcomes are being met based
upon the intended outcome.
However, cost of the textbook is
prohibited; the semester being
reduced in length makes it difficult
for students to complete all of the
assignments. The setup of the
classroom (environment) is not
ergonomic thereby creating stress
and bad techniques. Student
attendance and not having the lab
available as it was in the past (no
open lab) contributed toward some
students failing to achieve intended
outcome.

We need an instructional assistance
in the lab to assistants students,
maintain longer hours for students,
have better control over the
equipment, and make available
reference copies of the textbook
for students.
