3. Analysis of results and 4. Actions planned for the next reporting year)?

Learning Outcome 1:

Please type the short name of the outcome you are reviewing.

Type a brief description of the means of assessment so that if multiple means are used, the unit can identify which one you
are reviewing.

Please include any general comments in the text box below about the outcome, means of assessment or criterion for
success that would help the unit improve their assessment plan.
Actions Taken:
1a. Does the information describe the curricular or pedagogical actions that faculty took during the 2014-15 academic year
(past tense)? Note: To be yes, both bolded points should be yes. The actions must be curricular or pedagogical AND taken by
faculty. If both points are not yes, choose no and then explain what was missing in the comment box.
1b. Does the information describe actions taken to improve student learning that are related to the outcome? Note: To be yes,
both bolded points should be yes. The actions must improve student learning AND relate to the outcome. If both points are
not yes, choose no and then explain what was missing in the comment box.
