History
- In 2011, a pre and post assessment was developed as a way to determine progress towards learning outcomes over the course of the semester by assessing student skills and knowledge before and after taking AAA 090. It was first administered in classes starting Fall 2011 in a paper form. The results were utilized to enhance the argument of the need for the course.
- In 2013, the format changed from a paper assessment to an electronic online version.
- In 2014, the assessment was redesigned to be more closely aligned to the new AAA unit learning objectives that had been developed. For Spring 2015, a new retrospective pre & post assessment was utilized.
