  6. Target Goals for Student Learning Stage/Step 3 • Determined target goals for student learning outcomes • Determine what changes are necessary to improve instruction

  7. Results and Informed Action Stage/Step 4 • Results and Informed Action Form which shows what we have done as a result of our assessment plan Classes Spring 2011 Results • MAC 181 85.36 • MAC 161-162 84.57 • MAC 231 93.52 • MAC 164 78.76 • MAC 241 97 • DRF 128 (GD&T) 100

  8. Improvements • To address the below average of (78%) final exam grade, theresults of this assessment will be used to analyze problems students are having and work with students and give additional instructions to attain the target goal. A Lesson Plan was developed to help students in the MAC 164 class with instructional objectives for their assigned projects. • In the DRF 128 (GD&T) class, the target goal was met, but a continual emphasis will be put on surface finish as a requirement in this program. Local industry has voiced a concern in this area in hiring Quality Technicians. The Course Outline (Syllabus) was revised to reflect surface finish lesson requirement.

  9. Data Collection & Continuous Improvements • Final exams • NOCTI Exams and how they are beneficial • Advisory Committees
