EMCC's ECN faculty have developed and implemented the common ECN212 (Microeconomic Principles) final exam by first defining our discipline-wide Learning Objectives (LO) and then created multiple choice questions for the common final portion across all sections. Instructors recorded each students' response for each question in an excel spreadsheet and sent to me, who aggregated and analyzed the results. Overall results were good with 2 more LOs scoring above 80% and 2 fewer scoring below 60%. We each filled out a "Learning Outcomes Improvement Plan" (LOIP), a plan to focus on 3 areas where are students were weakest at and see if we can improve our teaching practices in those areas to improve the scores for next time (see attached). My LOIP showed that all 3 LOs had some improvement, some remarkable improvement. However, there is still much room from improvement. The ECN faculty are now working on creating their LOIPs for the Spring 2013 semester.
