| Objective | Ancillary Knowledge Acquisition | |
| To have students acquire a basic knowledge in ancillary sciences, math and criminal justice. Associated Goals: Fundamental |
| Indicator | Calculus Pass Rate The passing rate for FCH majors in MTH 142 & 143. |
| Criteria | Calc Pass Rate 60% of the FCH majors enrolled in MTH 142 & 143 are expected to earn grades of C or better. |
| Finding | Math Pass Rate The passing rate for on-sequence MTH 142 & 143 are 54.5% and 70.4%, respectively. The rates in trailer sections are lower (61.3% for MTH 142 in spring, but 41.7% for MTH 143 in fall). |
| Indicator | Physics Pass Rate The passing rate for FCH majors in PHY 138/118 & 139/119. |
| Criteria | Phys Pass Rate 75% of the FCH majors enrolled in PHY 138/118 & 139/119 are expected to earn grades of C or better. |
| Finding | Physics Pass Rate The passing rates for on-sequence PHY 138 & 139 are 72.7% and 78.1%, respectively. The rates for trailer sections are higher (86.4% for PHY 138 in spring and 100% for PHY 139 in fall). |
| Action | Continue Ancillary Continue to monitor student progress on ancillary knowledge acquisition. Calculus expectation is difficult to peg--many students take it elsewhere. |
| Objective | Fundamental Knowledge Acquisition | |
| To have students master sufficient fundamental knowledge of chemistry to allow them to proceed. Associated Goals: Fundamental |
| Indicator | General Chem Pass Rate The passing rate for FCH majors in CHM 138/118 & 139/119. |
| Criteria | Gen Chem Pass 60% of the FCH majors enrolled in CHM 138/118 & 139/119 are expected to earn grades of C or better. |
| Finding | CHM 138 & 139 pass The passing rate for on-sequence CHM 138 and 139 are 73.3% and 71.4%, respectively. The rates in trailer sections are lower (50.0% for CHM 138 in the spring and 31.6% for CHM 139 in the fall). |
| Action | Continue Fundamental Continue to monitor student progress on fundamental knowledge acquisition. |
| Objective | Intermediate Knowledge Acquisition | |
| To have students master sufficient intermediate knowledge of chemistry to allow them to proceed. Associated Goals: Intermediate |
| Indicator | Organic Chem Pass Rate The passing rate for FCH majors in CHM 238/218 & 239/219. |
| Criteria | Org Chem Pass 75% of the FCH majors enrolled in CHM 238/218 & 239/219 are expected to earn grades of C or better. |
| Finding | CHM 238 & 239 pass The passing rate for on-sequence CHM 238 and 239 are 42.9% and 70.6%, respectively. The rates in trailer sections are varied (58.5% for CHM 238 in spring and 20% for CHM 239 in fall). |
| Action | Continue Intermediate Continue to monitor student progress on intermediate knowledge acquisition. |
| Objective | Major Knowledge Acquisition | |
| To have students acquire knowledge of chemistry that is specialized to the major field. Associated Goals: Major |
| Indicator | Junior Level Pass Rate The passing rate for FCH majors in CHM 440 and 448. |
| Criteria | Jr Pass Rate 90% of the FCH majors enrolled in CHM 440 and 448 are expected to earn grades of C or better. |
| Finding | Junior Pass Rate The passing rate for CHM 448 was 93.1% (27/29) and for CHM 440 was 72.7%. |
| Action | Continue Major Continue to monitor student progress on acquisition of knowledge in the major. |
