3. If you have a longer term assessment plan that spans more than two years, please describe.
[Each fall you will report on the past year’s assessment activities under section #1 above. You will report your plans for the
current year under section #2 above. You do not need to assess all outcomes each year. Pick one or two areas of concern in
your curriculum and put your focus there. Define the problem and create a plan to address it. This is the focus of the annual
reports. Program reviews will look at the assessment reports you create each year as part of the review. If you have a longer
term plan, report them here under #3.]
ASSESSMENT REPORT for academic year 2009-2010
DEMONSTRATION OF LEARNING: What assignments or projects demonstrate student learning outcomes are achieved?
What evidence do you have that students are achieving the learning outcomes? You may choose to focus on one or two
learning outcomes each year.

rate of exam at a rate of 72% or higher.
Is prepared to pass the
examination offered by the
Association of Surgical
Technologists.
EXTERNAL EVIDENCE? Alumni, employer, Curriculum Review or Technical Advisory Committee feedback? What data
from outside the classroom have led to curriculum changes?
Instructor(s) evaluations quarterly. Graduates surveys. Employer’s surveys. TAC feedback. Peer Observations
quarterly- Tenure review.
ST Class 2009-10 19 of 27 graduated. 17 of 19 employed as ST within 3 months following June graduation.
ACTIONS TAKEN: What, if any, program changes have you made in the past year as a result of assessment activities. WHAT
WAS THE IMPETUS FOR THE
CHANGE?
Creation of a clinical handbook as an assessment tool to track student progress through a surgical case log, skills
assessments and preceptor evaluations. Graduate threshold is 88%.
ACTIONS PLANNED: Based on what you learned from assessment activities this last year for the above learning
outcomes or other assessment activities, are there any follow-up activities planned or required?
Curriculum revision to be implemented Fall 2011.
