**Explanation of course action for intended outcomes not realized: 1. It is indicated through assessment that the expectation was met. However, as indicated by the advisory board members, we are planning to better prepare our students before Internship or Field Experience. In addition, assessment scores for Internship and Field Experience need to be closely looked at for next cycle (2017-18) as it slightly dropped from last year. 2. Feedback and enthusiasm of students in the course (SPMA 480) that emphasized experiential learning led to an excellent performance during presentation and actual implementation. We will continue to develop and implement experiential learning opportunities for our students.. With new courses being offered, modified assessment tools will be utilized for COSMA 2017-18 report. Notes: 1) If you are using different direct and indirect measures for different degree programs, please replicate this form, using one form for each program that has different measures. If different programs use the same measures, only one copy of this form is needed. 2) At a minimum, you are required to use two direct and two indirect measures to assess all of your student learning outcomes. You are not required to measure each student learning outcome with more than one measure, though it is encouraged. This matrix offers space to show that you have more than one measure for each SLO, but it is not required.
