The Acct 1135 course team will continue to monitor these results over the next year to confirm that the percentage of students meeting these targets continues.
Learning Outcome #3: In comparison to the prior academic years', results, there has been a steady decline in the average grade on the Acct 1150 common final exam score over the last 3 academic years. The 1150 course team will analyze the Final Exam results question by question to determine if there are specific questions that more than 50% of the students are answering incorrectly. The team will then determine if these questions need to be re-written or replaced. |
