Provide a high level review of the program to include highlights, successes, challenges, significant changes, and significant resources needed to support the program
As noted on the next section of the report, NATV performed very well and showed little impact with the move to online classes.

Part 4: Program Learning Outcome Analysis

Learning Outcome	Population or Course(s) Assessed	Description	Summary of Assessment Results
1. Critical Thinking	NATV 1150	In-class Writing Assignment	Students were assessed in the critical thinking essential skill area and its four sub-skills: Problem Setting, Evidence Acquisition, Evidence Evaluation, and Reasoning conclusion through the use of a standardized writing prompt for Social and Behavioral Science classes.

Interpretation of Assessment findings
The primary take away from the assessment findings is that roughly two thirds of students tested at proficient in Problem Setting and Evidence Acquisition, but those numbers dropped into the 50th percentiles for Evidence Evaluation and Reasoning/Conclusion. While all of these numbers show a majority of students passing, the results do suggest the latter two skills are weaker areas that will likely require more attention moving forward. It should also be noted that the CHSS Assessment Team (CAT) has made changes to the prompt and will be assessing critical thinking again in Spring 2022 to align with the Assessment Academy's focus on Thinking in Action.
