Ifdeemed successful, the samesoftware will be implemented inthe Business 2B course during theSpring 2016 semester.(02/05/2016)Action Category: TeachingStrategies

Semester and Year Assessment Conducted: 2014-15(Spring 2015)Standard Met? : Standard MetTotal Student Count: 27 (100%)Above Average – 13 (48%)Satisfactory – 6 (22%)Below Average – 8 (30%)It was noted that 70% of the class completed the midtermexam (assessment method) with either satisfactory orabove average results. Sixteen (30%) of the students fellbelow average. The standard was met.Although the standard was met, I believe the assessmentresults should be higher. The primary reason for the lowsuccess rates is due to the fact that the college has no timerestriction between completion of Business 1A/1B seriesand Business 2A enrollment. Students who waited longerthan 2 years after completion of 1A/1B to take 2A, had towork much harder in this class. Their basic accounting skillswere ‘rusty’ and as a result, their ability to learnintermediate accounting skills suffered. The majority of thestudents who did not meet the standard waited many yearsafter completion of 1A/1B to enroll in the intermediatecourse. (09/09/2015)

Exam/Test/Quiz - Course midtermexam #1 – assesses the students’understanding of the concepts andterminology covering the accountingfor investments in financial assets,liabilities, stockholders’ equity anderror corrections.
