Director of Institutional Effectiveness Using a Pre/Post Test CCC Assessment Marty D. Evensvold Director of Institutional Effectiveness

Steps to Take Create your test (use for pre/post) Map each question back to course outcomes Make sure you test over each outcome Give the test—can use scan-tron Then, for each student: Count how many questions are correct for each outcome Choose how to record the scores (3 out of 4?) (75%?)

Create Your Pre/Post Test

Mapping Ex: Intermediate Algebra (outcomes mapped to a test with 30 questions) Add, subtract, multiply, & divide signed numbers. Solve equations & inequalities Add, subtract, multiply, & divide polynomial expressions Factor polynomial expressions Simplify & solve rational expressions & equations Simplify & solve radical expressions & equations Solve quadratic equations & inequalities Graph linear & quadratic equations & inequalities Maps back to: ?’s 1,2,3,& 4 ?’s 21 & 24 ?’s 7,8,9,10,11, & 12 ?’s 13,14, & 15 ?’s 5,6,16,22, & 23 ?’s 17,18,19, 20, & 26 ?’s 25 & 27 ?’s 28,29, & 30
