| Previous Cycle's "Plan for Continuous Improvement" |
|
A multi-year multi-course multi-instructor data collection plan has been developed and will be used to schedule the collection of assessment data across all courses in the Management major
|
| Update on Previous Cycle's "Plan for Continuous Improvement" |
|
Data was collected from one section of MGMT 3310. This data was extracted from two in-class exams (exams 2 & 3) and included the performance of 75 different students (74 students took both exams). In the future, we intend to expand our data collection efforts to include additional sections, instructors, and classes. We are not completely convinced that the measured performance, that fell below the set criterion, is accurate and intend to expand our data collection to verify its accuracy.

| Plan for Continuous Improvement |
|
We will load our long range plan for continuous improvement sometime during during AY 2014-2015.
