icon bs as aol

For the BSAS program, 14 students were assessed on the ethics outcome in BUSI 4398 during the fall semester of 2021 with one measure. Measure 1 was an objective assessment delivered through Canvas mapped to a five-item ethics rubric. The target for measure 1 was 75% of students scoring 75% or better on the overall assessment and 66% or better on each individual item.  The aggregated results for measure 1 indicated that 71% met the target. On measure 1, students tended to perform best on the “understands ethical theories” and “selects an ethical course of action” items with 93% meeting both targets. Students tended to have the most difficulty with the “knowing ethical decision-making frameworks” and “recognizing ethical dilemmas” items with 64% meeting both targets.

As indicated in the results table, the results were varied across all locations where the program is available. Following is a list of locations, the number of students assessed, and the percent of students that met the aggregate target for measure 2: Stephenville, 2 students assessed, 100%; Fort Worth, 5 students assessed, 80%; Midlothian, 1 student assessed, 0%; Online, 2 students assessed, 100%; Waco, 4 students assessed, 50%. Not all of the targets were met for this outcome so an action plan will be developed and implemented in Fall 2022 to improve student learning for the ethics outcome.
