Students must complete a COBA committee designed and graded writing assignment
demonstrating competency in spelling, capitalization, and punctuation. Success
is 70% attainment in each area (average of all students scores for the topic)
with no area being below 50% attainment.
2a. Summary of Assessment Data Collected:
One hundred final examination essays were selected from three sections
of the business communication courses. From this group, a random selection
of twenty papers were read and scored. No spelling errors were observed
due to the use of spell checker software. No capitalization errors were
observed due to the self-correcting nature of Word and WordPerfect. Three
punctuation errors were observed involving the omission of commas.
2a. Use of Results to Improve Instructional Program:
The faculty decided to continue to monitor the final writing project
in this class; however, the evaluation criteria will be changed to an evaluation
of clarity, style, and grammar (including sentence structure) for fall 2003.

analysis, finance, marketing, legal and social environment, and international
issues. Success will be 70% attainment overall (average of all student scores
for the topic) with no area being below 50% attainment.
