Fall 2012

• Plan: collect data for this semester's placement test
• Developed program outcomes and an assessment process for a larger number of program services offered

Prior to Fall 2012:

• Policy change results include:
  
  • Retake policy was revised from a 3- or 6-month waiting period down to a 2-week waiting period (based on student feedback on experience) -- included only continuing student population
  • Expansion of policy to new students (based on placement data -- out of 50 students who retook class, 27 had a higher placement on second test -- so about 50% of students had shown higher placement)
• Once a semester -- Taskforce meetings to discuss results of these data
• October 2011 -- first began tracking data on student participation in placement testing including number of retakes and comparisons of results to see if there has been any improvement
