Executive Summary

The Biology program assessed the degree to which students can describe life forms and their relationships to environment and ecosystems. This overarching goal was broken down into ten subgoals that were amenable to direct assessment by embedded assessment methods that placed 47 questions on the midterm and final exams in appropriate classes. Across all questions, students answered 75% of the questions correctly. From this Biology concluded that the learning goals were met at an acceptable level. They further have planned to assess learning outcomes in a pre-post fashion as well.
