Summary of Data Collected
Use of Results
Two sessions are offered for
2012-2013 Academic year. 60
students were enrolled. 78% 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 help
students, maintain longer hours
for students, have better control
over the equipment, and make
available reference copies of the
textbook for students.
