Fine Arts Visual 2014-2015 A total of 249 students across six sections of the Fine Arts Visual general education course took a pre and posttest for the 2014 - 2015 academic year. For the pretest, faculty gave the students a 17-question evaluation of their knowledge. For the posttest, faculty gave the students a 34-question test that covered their knowledge of identifying art, knowing the context, and interpreting art. This posttest included the same 17 questions at the pretest but included additional questions to determine if these extra questions would be appropriate to use in further assessment evaluations. Pretest vs. Posttest Fall 2014 and Spring 2015. A 2 (Pretest vs. Posttest) x 17 (Test Question) repeated measures ANOVA was run on the percentages of students who correctly answered each of the 17 questions from six courses between Fall 2014 and Spring 2015. This ANOVA showed that regardless of the test questions, overall percentages of students who correctly answered the questions did not change from the pretest to the posttest,  = .98, 5) = .08, = .79, p2 = .02.
