Interpretation of Assessment findings
For the 2020/2021 academic year, the assessment targets for each of the degree learning outcomes were met. For the Acct 2999, Accounting Capstone course, the assessment target was changed from "75% of students will score 75% or higher..." to "85% of students will score 85% or higher..." due to a change in the course assessment in Fall 2019. At that time, Acct 2999 was changed to a competency-based curriculum in which students are required to score at least an 81% on all course assignments. Accounting faculty will continue to monitor these assessment results to confirm that these assessment tools are a viable measure of the degree learning outcome.
