IACBE Annual Report: 2014-15 8
Other Issues Briefly comment on other issues pertaining to your academic business unit that you would like to share with the IACBE. 1. In previous years, we adopted the ETS MFT as a direct measure assessment for many of our programs. The department s curriculum and assessment committee believed that this tool did not best meet the needs for assessing multiple segments of students across varying modalities and locations. The new direction whether it be ETS, Major-Field Test or a CPC comprehensive exam will be administered beginning in the fall of 2017 for all programs. 2. Also, in previous years, we viewed Employer/Supervisor evaluations as an indirect measure, but since these instruments collect information directly related to program-specific ISLOs, we now use it as a Measure and we will use it to gather more precise feedback for each of our program offerings, as described in our 2017 Outcomes Assessment Plan. 3. Lastly, during this academic year there were several shifts in campus and System leadership of the Business Depts/Academic Units. Workplace Exit Survey Data & Instruments ( Measure) were not disseminated and collected in a centralized and systematic manner. However a detailed process for dissemination and collection of Student Exit Surveys has been created and it is outlined in our new (2017) Outcomes Assessment Plan. IACBE Annual Report: 2014-15 10
