Data (measurement of the competency)
Five (n=5) presentations were evaluated by two sociology faculty members. Average scores for each category were high. The average score was 3.6/4 for Organization, 3.8 for Content, 3.7 for Language, and 3.3 for Delivery. This indicates that Sociology Majors are developing competency in oral communication.
Action Taken in Response to the Data (What will you do in response to the Findings?)
In response to the findings we will develop formal program learning outcomes, including oral communication, and post these publicly. We will consider any program inefficiencies (such as tracks and prerequisites) that may further improve oral communication training for senior seminar courses. We will emphasize further delivery, which was the lowest measure.
