Complete the Outcomes Assessment Results form below and include it with this annual report to the IACBE. Note: Section II of the form (Operational Assessment) needs to be completed only if you received first-time accreditation or reaffirmation of accreditation after January 1, An example of a completed form can be found in a separate document that is available for download on the IACBE s website at: Section I (Student Learning Assessment) of the Outcomes Assessment Results form must be completed for each business program that is accredited by the IACBE (i.e., a separate table must be provided for each program). Add tables, and insert or delete rows in the tables as needed in order to accommodate the number of your (i) business programs, (ii) majors, concentrations, specializations, emphases, options, or tracks in the programs, (iii) intended student learning outcomes, and (iv) intended operational outcomes. In the sections of the assessment results tables entitled Summary of Achievement of Intended Student Learning Outcomes and Summary of Achievement of Intended Operational IACBE Annual Report:

11 Outcomes, do not add or delete columns. Space is provided in these sections for four direct measures of student learning, four indirect measures of student learning, and eight operational assessment measures/methods. If you are employing fewer than this number of assessment instruments, simply leave cells in the unused columns blank. If you are employing more than this number of instruments, you will need to create additional summary-of-achievement tables to report your assessment information. Delete rows in the assessment results tables that do not apply to your academic business unit (e.g., if the business unit does not offer any majors, concentrations, specializations, emphases, options, or tracks in its programs, then delete those rows in the tables). In the sections of the assessment results tables entitled Summary of Achievement of Intended Student Learning Outcomes and Summary of Achievement of Intended Operational Outcomes, enter Met in a given cell of the table if the performance target for the instrument in that column was achieved for the intended outcome in that row; Not Met if the performance target for the instrument in that column was not achieved for the intended outcome in that row; or N/A (Not Assessed) if the instrument in that column does not measure the intended outcome in that row. Student learning performance targets/criteria are the measurable objectives associated with the assessment instruments and rubrics used by the academic business unit in determining whether the intended student learning outcomes have been achieved. For example, if the academic business unit is using a comprehensive project in a capstone course as a direct measure of student learning, then a performance target might be that, on the project evaluation rubric, at least 80% of the students will be rated at the highest level (e.g., proficient, exemplary, etc.) on each learning-outcome-related project evaluation criterion. Operational performance targets/criteria are the measurable objectives associated with the assessment instruments used by the academic business unit in determining whether the intended operational outcomes have been achieved. For example, if the academic business unit has identified an operational outcome pertaining to faculty teaching and is using a senior exit survey as a measure of this outcome, then a performance target might be that 90% of the students will be either satisfied or highly satisfied with various aspects of faculty teaching as identified by relevant items in the survey form. Your student learning assessment results tables need to include two or more direct measures of student learning and two or more indirect measures of student learning for each IACBE-accredited program. These measures must be used at the program level. At the bottom of each assessment results table, space is provided to identify changes and improvements that you plan to make as a result of your assessment activity. Italicized entries in the form represent areas where the academic business unit should insert its own assessment information. IACBE Annual Report:

In the case study analysis and presentation, the Management Major students met all of the 9 sections tested. In 2013/14 Management students did not achieve the goal of 80% in the section relating to clear presentation. There was a tendency among some of the students to read large portions of the presentation. This was discussed with the business faculty so as to encourage students from reading presentations and to be more engaging with the audience. As a result the score improved from 73.6% to 95.0% in the current year. 2. This is the second year that we asked for separate MFT results for the senior Management Major students. In 2013/14 Management students scored above the 40 th mean percent in four of the eight functions. The four functions that they again did not achieve the goal were: accounting, economics, quanitative analysis, and finance, where the scores were again all in the mid to upper 30% range. These results reveal that there is a need for Management majors to improve in the quantitative subject areas. Their scores for marketing, legal and social, information systems, and international issues improved in average from 45.0% to 49.5%, well above the goal of 40%. The Curruiculum Committee will be asked to consider changes that need to be made to further develop the Skills of management students in the quantitative-related courses. 3. Senior Management students met the goal of scoring 12% above the goal of the 50 th mean % in questions that focused only on the function of Management. However the overall ranking of our Management students who took the MFT test was only 36.4% who ranked above the national average. This was a small improvement over the 33.3% for 2013/14. It seems obvious that the remarks under (2) relating to quantitative skills IACBE Annual Report:

30 Principles and ethics related positively to their professional careers Proposed Courses of Action for Improvement in Learning Outcomes for which Targets Were Not Met: 1. In 2013/14, of the nine areas assessed in the comprehensive case study, students in the Information Systems Major did not achieve the 80% goal in two areas, viz. Circumstances of the investment clearly described, including ethical concerns (77.6%), and Presentation was instructive and interesting (75.2%). These are good scores but did not meet the goal. The faculty agreed that the scores were not that far out to be overly concerned, particularly when these students scored 5.75 on their understanding of how ethics relates to their professional career as per the question in the dean s exit survey. For the current year 2014/15 the score for investment and ethical concerns improved from 77.6% to 90.0%, and the score for presentation was instructive and interesting improved from 75.2% to 86.7%. In the current year the Information Systems students met the goal of 80% in all nine areas. 2. In the 2013/14 Dean s Exit Interview of the Information Systems students the goal of at least 4.5 out of 6 was met in all questions except two. One relating to quantitative skills, and the second relating to oral reports and presentations. In each of these two areas the scores were 4.20 instead of the minimum of For the current year the goals for these two questions were met, with scores of 5.50 and 5.25 respectively. However, in the current year the score for the question related to information systems courses having a positive influence on spiritual growth was 4.25 compared to the previous year s score of Nevertheless, the average score for the two questions related to spiritual growth and how the Christian faith and ethics related to the professional area of information Systems resulted in an average score of 4.6 and meets the goal of 4.5. This was drawn to the attention of the Information Systems faculty. We will hopefully see a bigger improvement next year. 3. In the Senior Survey the response in 2013/14 to the questions regarding students being able to recognize how their major in information Systems related to different specialties scored a 4.40 compared to the goal of In the current year this score improved to The score for how the written assignments and reports in Information Systems prepared the student for their careers was 4.25 which is below the goal of 4.5 and lower than the previous year s score of This was brought to the attention of the Information systems faculty. It needs to also be stated that with small n s we can expect even large variations in scores from year to year. 4. The Information Systems ISLO scores in 2013/14 were 3.80 for each of two questions, one relating to whether the Information Systems major courses made the students enthusiastic about the discipline and their prospective careers.
