Part 2: Program Summary
Provide a high level review of the program to include highlights, successes, challenges, significant changes, and significant resources needed to support the program |
---|
We had a successful year graduating 16 more computer programmers.
We found opportunities to improve the program in the areas of debugging and understanding how to pass data between graphical user interface forms. All other areas were accomplished satisfactorily between 85% and 100%.
We look forward to another successful year in 2022-2023. |

Summarize how your program met or did not meet the target measures based on the data above |
---|
We exceeded the Average Class fill rate this year once again.
The retention rate of 86% also exceeded our goal of 70%.
The C-Pass rate of 69% exceeded the requirement of 60%.
The annual number of graduates this year was 16 which is higher than 10.

Part 4: Program Learning Outcome Analysis
Learning Outcome | Population or Course(s) Assessed | Description | Summary of Assessment Results |
---|---|---|---|
Class construction: Write programs that contain a programmer-written class and demonstrate its use in the C++, Java and C# languages. | Class Projects and individual Homework Projects |
| 86% |
Class inheritance, and polymorphism: Write a program that contains a programmer-written class structure including a parent class and at least two children classes. The program must demonstrate polymorphism. | Class Projects and individual Homework Projects |
| 86.5% |
Database manipulation and Web Application: Write a program that demonstrates the ability to connect to and manipulate a SQL database. | Class Projects and individual Homework Projects |
| 86.9% |
Debugging: Demonstrate the use of a debugging tool in at least two Integrated Development Environments, with at least two languages. | Test given as a part of the Capstone Class |
| 86.5% |
Graphical User Interface and Technical documentation: Write a program that contains a Graphical User Interface that includes event handling components. These components must include components such as menus, dialog boxes, sliders, buttons, and spinners. Tooltips must be on all components, where relevant. The program must contain a help section or additional documentation for the user. | Class Projects and individual Homework Projects |
| 86.9% |
Linux: Students will demonstrate how to install, configure, create user accounts, issue correct commands and options, and perform standard network administration. | Course-wide evaluation using a Linux Project measured using a common rubric. | This is no longer a learning outcome for this program. | |
Web research: Use a search engine, such as “Google”, to find information on classes or functions that are needed in a program. This web research includes finding the appropriate class/function, its documentation, and implementing the code in a program. | Class Projects and individual Homework Projects |
| 86.5% |
Interpretation of Assessment findings |
---|
Class construction was satisfactory at 86%.
Class inheritance was satisfactory at 86.5%.
Database Manipulation was satisfactory at 86.9%
Debugging was 86.5. This continues to be our most challenging area. We will continue to provide as much practice as possible in debugging,
A graphical User Interface score of 86.9% is low. Mostly attributed to students having difficulty explaining how data is passed between parent and child forms. Recommendation: Add more elaboration on the concept when teaching this.
The research score was satisfactory at 86.5%.
The form is not working properly. All assessment was done as Class Projects and individual Homework Projects. Please ignore all other entries.
