Update to previous cycle's plan for continuous improvement Data was collected in Spring 2013. SAP has been incorporated into the HR curriculum but no data has been collected on students' understanding of SAP concepts.

Plan for continuous improvement During the 2013-2014 academic year we hope to accomplish the following:
  • Transfer responsibility for collecting HR assessment data to the faculty primarily responsible for teaching the HR courses.
  • Utilize the new capabilities of Blackboard Assessment to better track student performance.
