Data (measurement of the competency)
The benchmarks are 4 (Advanced), 3 (Competent), 2 (Emerging), and 1 (Beginning). Scores below 3 (Competent) are not acceptable for business majors close to graduation. Unfortunately, only 15 of the 36 papers had an average score of 3 or higher. Five of the 36 papers had scores below 2.
Action Taken in Response to the Data (What will you do in response to the Findings?)
The Assessment Committee recommends making two courses in the core, BUS 290 (Critical Thinking) and MGT 300 (Mgt, Orgs & Human Behavior) permanently Writing Intensive.
