Program Assessment Report Health Services Technology 2012 NC State students should attain competency in the college s six core learning outcomes as well as the appropriate program level learning outcomes prior to graduation. Each course at NC State contributes to a student s successful performance in one or more of the core learning outcomes (as indicated in the master syllabi) and/or program/department-level learning outcomes. The purpose of this form is to allow programs to document how their course(s), instructional strategies/activities, and assessment methods contribute to core and program/department-level learning outcomes achievement and to identifying and acting on areas in need of improvement. Guidelines: Program coordinators or program directors and their faculty select specific courses to report assessment results via the Course Assessment Report. This is to inform the Program Assessment Report. Faculty should: o Select courses where students are most likely to demonstrate a high level of attainment of the learning outcome, preferably near the end of the curriculum to support an across-the-curriculum approach (reinforcement and retention of learning) -- REQUIRED. o Select additional courses for pre and post assessment or to demonstrate progress in learning outcome attainment as students progress through the curriculum (a value-added approach) OPTIONAL. Core Learning Outcomes are assessed institution-wide on a 3-year rotating schedule resulting in two outcomes assessed per year. o The 3-year rotating CLO assessment schedule is available at http://www.ncstatecollege.edu/committees/assessment/default.htm o Programs are encouraged to assess CLOs and report results on a more frequent schedule as needed. Program coordinators or program directors send the completed Program Assessment Report to the Assessment Committee, due annually in October.

Program Mission Statement: Learning Outcome Written Communication* Assessment Procedures & Criteria Identify the assessment method(s) used to measure and evaluate student success for this outcome. (List all methods.) The minimum acceptable score is 74%. (This may require converting the score to a %.) SURG: 100% of ST students will pass a prerequisite medical terminology course. Spelling rules for class: 1 letter wrong deducts ½ point, more than 1 letter and the answer is all Core Learning Outcomes Assessment Results Report the achievement level = the number of students earning the minimal acceptable score (74%) or higher out of the total number of students who completed the assignment AND the course (e.g. 25/50 = 50%). Report the achievement level for each assessment method. SURG: 100% of all ST students have passed a prerequisite medical terminology class.

These rubrics may be used as is or modified, or another rubric or assessment method may be substituted. **After semester conversion, programs should report assessment results from the highest college math course in the curriculum (comprehensive final exam scores) as well assessment results that occur in non-math program courses where computation is considered to be important to the technology/profession (e.g. drug calculations in a nursing curriculum). Learning Outcome Enter outcomes below; add rows as needed. Program-Level Learning Outcomes (add rows as needed) Assessment Procedures & Criteria Identify the assessment method(s) used to measure and evaluate student success for this outcome. (List all methods.) State the minimum acceptable score for each method. For the HST Program, all students, not just NC State students, will be included in the data reported. Assessment Results Report the achievement level = the number of students attaining the minimum acceptable score or higher out of the total number of students who completed the assignment AND the course (e.g. 25/50 = 50%).
