Update to previous cycle's plan for continuous improvement

Plan for continuous improvement During this school year, the faculty reorganized the assessment process for the Human Resource Management BBA.  In the fall, it was decided that the beginning objectives would be related to disciplinary knowledge, specifically, the topics of staffing, compensation, benefits, training, and employee development.  Data was collected in the Principles of Management course and the Compensation course, and after analyzing the data, it seems that students are at, or above, the targets for the criteria.  The exceptionally good performance of students in the Compensation course supports the belief of the faculty that exposure to real world applications (using SAP) enhances the learning process and helps students to understand the concepts in the course.  The faculty will meet again during the fall semester to reevaluate the assessment process.  Specifically, possible new objectives related to critical thinking and communication will be discussed.
