Of 1.28 On the final a total of 14 students were given three scenarios that may occur a in school or work environment that pose ethical dilemmas. The responses were measured on a scale of zero and one. One (1), being able to provide the response with a valid explanation of the Response, and zero (0) for failing to provide a valid response or explanation.

Display of Assessment Data – proficiency in assembling, configuring and administering networks A total of 14 students were given a pre-test on the first day of class. The main focus of the test was to determine students’ previous exposure to installation, configuration and administration of operating systems in a network. Each Pre-test was scored on a scale of zero (0) to fourteen (14), with zero indicating no exposure and fourteen indicating mastery: Program Quality Improvement Report Score # Students Pretest Mean: 5.29, standard dev 4.0

Display of Assessment Data – proficiency in assembling, configuring and administering networks A Post-test was given to 14 students along with the final exam on May 4, The Post-test was the same as the Pre-test. The objective of the Post-test was to determine the student learning after completing the course: Program Quality Improvement Report Score # Students Post test Mean: 11.36, standard dev 1.9
