For Effectiveness Standard #1, scoring for six questions met the standard, nine did not and ten did not apply as pre-test scores were over 50%. For Effectiveness Standard #2, scoring for twenty-one questions met the standard and four did not. Use of Assessment Results: Department faculty met electronically and discussed the results of BIOL 2020 assessments. It was decided that the pre-/post-test was too long and had too many questions. Faculty will work together to shorten future tests to no more than 10 questions. It was also decided that having a pre-test earlier in the semester would produce more representative pre-/post-test differences. In the future, pre-tests will be available online during the first week of classes.
