Note assessment materials will be collected from all coursesduring Fall 2006 and Spring 2007.

Then we will collect materials from each course on a twoyear cycle indicated above as YEAR I (odd/even year) and YEAR II (even/odd year). Note data is collected from CS 1043 and CS 2001 eachyear. Also CS 4503 and CS 4513 arevery important courses, and the assessment data is collected from these coursesevery semester they are taught.

Each entry indicates the type of data collected.  For some courses we collect data fromProgramming/project assignments, some from performance on final examinationsand some courses from both. Courses that collect both types of assessment data (CS 2003, CS 2123, CS3053, CS 4013) will collect one type one year and the other type the next yearas indicated above.

Note we are collection data for CS 1043 but the results arenot used to assess any objective or outcome because it to too low level.  However this course is extremelyimportant as if feeds our higher level programming courses, so we aremonitoring student programming progress in this course.
