| Describe the change that was implemented. | ARDR will need to quantify data from each semester 1x03 course. |
| Type of Change |
|
| Change in Assessment Approach or Tools? | possible, a final portfolio each semester will become more useful |
| What data motivated the change? | Without studying this every semester, we will not have concurrect data |
| Hypothesis about the effect the change will have? | the information will be more accurate. Our cohorts are small at the moment, so students are all know to us.. The outcomes remain high. |

Describe any external factors affecting the program or affecting assessment of the program.
The job market is tightening as the economy slows down, I believe we will see this have larger effects in the future in two ways that have manifest traditionally. 1) students tend to enroll when firms hire less 2)firms hire less during this time for the same reason.
