The report details discussions, interpretation and impact of data, and future assessment planning, which has led to several changes, including the creation and revision of undergraduate and graduate Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs), creation and/or modification of key courses (e.g., KIN 200 and 201/L), exploration of student expectations/professional qualities (e.g., soft skills), the redesign of assessment project/assignments and tools, and the modification of advisement practices. In addition to the scheduled classes that continued to asses P-SLO???s #3 according to the pre-planned assessment activities, preliminary data was collected for KIN 200 (entry level course for all KIN students and KIN 325 capstone course for most KIN students) as part of Simplify Assessment. All faculty were asked to update current course syllabuses to reflect the current KIN P-SLO???s and matching course SLO???s
