1 Academic Program Assessment: Southwest Virginia Community College Division Program Coordinator Academic Year BEIT Accounting AAS Margaret Dye Program Mission Statement The mission of the Accounting program at Southwest Virginia Community College is to provide quality curriculum and instruction which prepares students for employment in accounting-related areas that meet the needs of business and industry and to provide professional development opportunities for life-long learning. Program Goals Goal 1 (short-term): To graduate students who demonstrate the ability to apply fundamental accounting concepts in entry-level accounting positions. Goal 2: To provide students with knowledge and skills in making ethical business decisions. Goal 3: To expose students to various accounting career paths and provide access to necessary soft skills for employment in accounting careers. Assessment Categories Outcome Sought Measures Success Standard Findings Action Plans Goal 1: Students will demonstrate basic accounting concepts covering the accounting cycle. Goal 1: Comprehensive accounting cycle problem given to the ACC 211 students at the end of the fall semester and to the ACC 212 students at the end of the spring semester. Goal 1: 85% of the students will complete the comprehensive accounting cycle problem with a grade of C or better. Goal 1: Of the 42 students in ACC 211 (Fall 2016 semester) who completed the accounting cycle problem, 20 students (48%) completed the problem with a grade of C or better. This same type of problem was given to the students in ACC 212 at the end of the spring semester. Of the 14 students in the ACC 212 in-class sections, 10 out of 14 (71%) scored a passing grade, with 6 of the 14 Goal 1: While the software package used with the textbook does have its advantages, these findings indicate the need for manual accounting exercises and projects to be incorporated into the class along with the software package. The same type of accounting cycle problem will be given in Fall 2017 and Spring 2018.
2 (71%) scored a passing grade, with 6 of the 14 students (43%) completing the problem with a grade of C or better. One student took ACC 211 five years ago and was not as familiar with the basic accounting cycle as the other students. Based on accounting cycle scores when done manually in prior years and this semester when done using software, it seems the students scored higher when learning manual accounting. Goal 2: Students will demonstrate knowledge of American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) Code of Professional Conduct. Goal 2: Test covering the AICPA Code of Professional Conduct. Goal 2: 85% of the students ACC 212 students will complete the test with a grade of C or better. Goal 2: The AICPA test was given to the ACC 212 students during Spring Of the 14 students who were tested, 10 students (71%) passed the test, with 8 students (57%) scoring a grade of C or better. Goal 2: Ethics and professional conduct are taught in every chapter of the accounting text. A specific assignment was not given on individual principles during the semester, but the six principles were introduced and discussed during each module. Based on these scores, six modules within the ACC 212 course will be altered to include an assignment section on professional conduct. A similar test will be given during the spring 2018 semester to all ACC 212 courses, both in class and

Career Fair & Opportunity Showcase was held; however, due to students work schedules, most students were unable to attend the event. semester to all ACC 212 courses, both in class and online. Goal 3: Due to students work schedules, requiring attendance at the Career Fair is not possible. Students will be urged to attend future career fairs and employer events on campus, and classroom/online instruction will still incorporate soft skills within each module of ACC 212 courses. An instructional change was warranted by the short-term (Dec. 2016) findings (see Findings and Action Plan for Goal 1.) Fall 2016 was the first semester using a software package in conjunction with the textbook. Based on these scores, manual accounting problems will be incorporated with the software package, including critical thinking components pertaining to AICPA principles. Goal 3 will be changed based on feedback from advisory committee feedback. The advisory committee recommended stronger Excel skills for all business students. Based on that feedback, the manual accounting problems will be completed using Excel (students will be shown how to build the accounting system in Excel); and a comprehensive accounting Excel problem will be added for ACC 211 and ACC 212 classes in Fall 2017 and Spring 2018.

Demonstrate competency in communication, critical thinking, cultural and social understanding, information literacy, personal development, quantitative reasoning, and scientific reasoning. 1. Compare exam scores for EGR 140-Statics exam to the average exam scores from the past five years on the same exam. EGR 140 was chosen because it is the most highly enrolled Engineering elective (100% in the last five years). Highest and lowest scores removed to eliminate statistical outliers. 2. Compare average graduation GPA of SWCC students to those at a 1. An increase in exam scores over the average. 2. Engineering students' average GPA after first summer & fall semesters will be no less than 90% SWCC graduation GPA average. Note: 90% standard is established as a baseline for continued study. 3. Engineering students score no less than 90% 1. Five year average: Fall 2016 average: Students also reported enjoying the use of the technology and a noticeable improvement in organization was observed by faculty. 2. SWCC average = 3.681; n= 5 VT must be at least Actual VT GPA = 3.1 (same as VT Fall 2015) % Difference =15.8, = Average of Engineering Exit score 2017 = 61.0%, Average of 1. Expand the use of tablets to more engineering courses. Research ways to more effectively use tablets through advanced collaboration and higher utilization. 2. Because improvement was made in the percent difference will continue current strategy of surveying recent graduates to determine largest barriers to success and work with together faculty and the BEIT Dean on strategies to address those barriers.
23 popular transfer institution after their first semester. 3. Use GSAT scores to compare last semester of SWCC study engineering students to Science and General Studies majors during their last semester. of scores achieved by graduating Science and General Studies majors. Engineering Exit score 2016 = 66.0% Average of General Studies Exit score 2016 = 51.8% Average GSAT score fell some from 2016 to 2017 by 6 points (9.1%) but GPA fell by 10.1% 3. No Action Required. Continue to look for ways to improve engineering students general education via work with English, humanities, and social science faculty. GSAT scores for other programs are may be difficult to obtain in future years as General Studies and Natural Science assessment methodologies change. Will transition to a longitudinal study and comparing average GSAT total scores relative to average GPA. Will use the available General Studies and Natural Science data when available. Analysis/Use of Results Comments (Goals tied to other unit activities, Anticipate new goal based on findings.) Outcome 1: Since the use of tablets improved student engagement and organization, this suggests that the use of tablets should be expanded in Engineering courses. Outcome 2: Students are successfully transitioning to four year schools. Their adjustment is still more difficult than the benchmark; however, steady improvement is being made to reach that benchmark. Outcome 3: Engineering students continue to perform well in humanities, natural science, and math relative to their peers in General Studies. Therefore, students in the Engineering program are receiving an adequate general education relative to their peers.

26 Academic Program Assessment: Southwest Virginia Community College Division Program Coordinator Academic Year BEIT Insurance CSC Margaret Dye Program Mission Statement The mission of the Insurance Career Studies Certificate is to provide quality curriculum and instruction which prepares students for employment in insurance-related positions that meet the needs of business and industry and to provide professional development opportunities for life-long learning. Program Goals Goal 1: Students will complete a minimum of one available industry certification exam. Goal 2 (short-term): To improve students skills in fundamental business concepts for successful employment in the insurance industry. Goal 3: To expose students to various insurance career paths and provide access to necessary soft skills for employment in insurance careers. Assessment Categories Outcome Sought Measures Success Standard Findings Action Plans Goal 1: Students will be familiar with available insurance industry certification exams and requirements for testing. Goal 1: Completion of licensing exams in insurance field by graduation from the insurance program. Goal 1: At least 75% pass rate on licensing exams taken by graduation. Goal 1: No students tested for licensure this semester. Goal 1: No change in the goal.
27 Goal 2: Students will demonstrate basic accounting concepts, a fundamental business concept covering the accounting cycle. Goal 2: Comprehensive accounting cycle problem given to the ACC 211 students at the end of the fall semester and to the ACC 212 students at the end of the spring semester. Goal 2: 85% of the students will complete the comprehensive accounting cycle problem with a grade of C or better. Goal 2: Of the 42 students in ACC 211 (fall 2016 semester) who completed the accounting cycle problem, 20 students (48%) completed the problem with a grade of C or better. This same type of problem was given to the students in ACC 212 at the end of the spring semester. Of the 14 students in the ACC 212 in-class sections, 10 out of 14 (71%) scored a passing grade, with 6 of the 14 students (43%) completing the problem with a grade of C or better. One student took ACC 211 five years ago and was not as familiar with the basic accounting cycle as the other students. Based on accounting cycle scores when done manually in prior years and this semester when done using software, it seems the students scored higher when learning manual accounting. Goal 2: While the software package used with the textbook does have its advantages, these findings indicate the need for manual accounting exercises and projects to be incorporated into the class along with the software package. The same type of accounting cycle problem will be given in Fall 2017 and Spring 2018.
28 Goal 3: Students will demonstrate Goal 3: Participation in knowledge of various soft skills needed Career Services Department in the business industry. presentation in ACC 212 classroom and participation in SWCC Employer Connection (sign-in sheets used to verify participation). Goal 3: At least 75% of the ACC 212 students will participate in both events. Goal 3: Career Services Goal 3: Due to students Department and SWCC work schedules, requiring Employer Connection attendance at the Career presentations were not Fair is not possible. scheduled due to conflicts in Students will be urged to scheduling with other events attend future career fairs on campus. Career Fair & Opportunity Showcase was and employer events on held; however, due to campus, and students work schedules, classroom/online most students were unable instruction will still to attend the event. incorporate soft skills within each module of ACC 212 courses. Analysis/Use of Results Comments (Goals tied to other unit activities, Anticipate new goal based on findings.) Goal 1 will remain the same. Students are in the system to complete the insurance program this fall semester. Those students will be eligible to sit for the licensing exams by the end of the spring semester. An instructional change was warranted by the short-term (Dec. 2016) findings (see Findings and Action Plan for Goal 2.) Fall 2016 was the first semester using a software package in conjunction with the textbook. Based on these scores, manual accounting problems will be incorporated with the software package, including critical thinking components pertaining to AICPA principles. Goal 3 will be changed based on feedback from advisory committee feedback. The advisory committee recommended stronger Excel skills for all business students. Based on that feedback, the manual accounting problems will be completed using Excel (students will be shown how to build the accounting system in Excel); and a comprehensive accounting Excel problem will be added for ACC 211 and ACC 212 classes in Fall 2017 and Spring 2018.
