Closing the Loop

During this school year, the faculty reorganized the assessment process for the Management BBA.  In the fall, it was decided that the beginning objectives would be related to disciplinary knowledge, specifically, the functions of planning, organizing, leading, and controlling.  Data was collected in the Principles of Management course, and after analyzing the data, it seems that students are at, or just below, the targets for the criteria.  Specific action steps were prescribed for the two objectives for which the targets in the criteria were not met.  The faculty will meet again during the fall semester to reevaluate the assessment process.  Specifically, possible new objectives related to critical thinking and communication will be discussed.
