Type of Change
  • Other
Change in Assessment Approach or Tools?The changes would require the assessment approach to change. The Final Exam would need to be connected to the Brightspace Master Shell for BUSA 1115.
What data motivated the change?No need for changes. However, it would be great for this Final tool to be connected to the Brightspace Master Shell for BUSA 1115.
Hypothesis about the effect the change will have?No changes necessary, since the goal was met. It would be great for this Final Exam tool to be connected to the Brightspace Master Shell for BUSA 1115. It would give us a larger data set and direct access to the data through SAS.

Type of Change
  • Other
Change in Assessment Approach or Tools?No changes needed.

4. Keyboard at 35 wpm or higher with 5 or fewer errors.
Describe the change that was implemented.Results were too narrow a sample of data since the results were only from 1 course section. Hopefully including another course section in the Summer 2025 term and collecting the highest wpm (rather than the average) would be more accurate.
Type of Change
  • Grading Methodology Changes
  • Other
Change in Assessment Approach or Tools?Instead of the average of three timings, the highest wpm should be reported.
What data motivated the change?Not enough data available to make a change. We need a wider data set and ability to access the results. Therefore we should include more course sections in the results. However, only one course section is offered in the Summer 2025 term.
