Assessment Analysis
This assessment of 91% far exceeds the assessment of Spring 2012 for Law 11 which was at 74%. This is a substantial increase. One explanation is that we used the same ethics study. A second explanation is that we require students to read the article on critical thinking at the beginning of each semester, and students are becoming better and more adept at analyzing ethics case studies because they have a deeper understanding of critical thinking. Thus if we want to improve a particular SLO, we should include articles at the beginning of each semester which will provide information and context necessary for the student to analyze data and information and come to conclusions.
