2. 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%?)

3. Create Your Pre/Post Test

4. 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
