Assessment Analysis
Students assessed on the ethics case student in Spring 2012 in Law 10 performed at at 76% level. This assessment showed students assessed at 86% which is a marked performance. The law discipline listed a number of suggested strategies to improve the students' performance on the ethics question. In the end, the posting of ethics and critical thinking materials at the beginning of the semester, and the requirement that students in each of the law classes read the materials, helped our students perform better this year. This is a testament to the simple fact that students learn from practice, and by reading insightful materials that help to improve their skill sets, including their critical thinking skills and ability to analyze an ethics case study, and to provide more thoughtful answers, with more clarity, accuracy, relevance and more depth, per the new rubric assessment we adopted for this assessment from criticalthinking.org
