Analysis of Assessment Results
Which students were assessed? How were these students
assessed? When were these student
assessed? What are the numerical results?
Three Possibilities
Overall student results:
meet expectations exceed expectations fail to meet expectations
Standards
Programs set the standards (academic, industry)
Compare results to standard (minimum expectations)
Calculate average success rate of completing students (formative and summative)
Use of Results to Improve Instructional Program
Provides opportunity for discussion of how the findings will be used to improve academic services and Allows for the design of course testing instruments used in the gathering of necessary data
This is where needed changes are recommended based on
assessment results
Recommendations should involve collaboration between technical
faculty and Arts &Science faculty
What’s Next?Where do we go from here?
Assessment Committee to review all assessment measures submitted by Units
Units begin collecting data as prescribed in Form C
Assessment results are analyzed next August
Results are reported with recommended changes next September
IA&R requests all current assessments by September 22
