| Learning Outcome (or Gen Ed Essential Skill) | Summary of Results | Reflection on Focus Area | Intepretation of Results |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1a. Communication: Genre and Medium Awareness, Application, and Versatility | 8/17 students were proficient, 4/17 students were emerging, and 3/17 students were ineffective at communicating academically. | This answers the question that many students struggle to write to the appropriate audience, in this case in an academic style. | This shows us that students need more support with their academic writing. |
| 3a. Personal and Social Responsibility: Intercultural reasoning and intercultural competence | 7/17 students were proficient, 6/17 were emerging, and 3/17 were ineffective at incorporating more than one perspective. | This answers our question that this is in fact an area than many students could use help with. | This shows us that there is work to be done on our end at helping students identify multiple perspectives. |
