Proposed Courses of Action for Improvement in Learning Outcomes for which Performance Targets Were Not Met:
1. ISLO 1: The performance target for this ISLO was not met only in the Student Survey in the category of information management. All other areas were at or above the performance target. The Larry L. Luing School of Business will continue to monitor student performance following the recent implementation of the new business core curriculum.
2. ISLO 2: Met
3. ISLO 3: The Larry L. Luing School of Business had insufficient data to assess the oral communications component of the Capstone Project. Although competencies in oral communication are included throughout the academic program, the Larry L. Luing School of Business will need to take corrective action to collect and analyze oral communications assessment data within each degree program.
4. ISLO 4: Met
5. ISLO 5: While this performance target for this ISLO was met in the Internship Evaluation for all academic business unit students as a whole, data collection methods did not allow for the assessment of Internship Evaluations on a program-specific basis. The Larry L. Luing School of Business will engage in developing a method of collecting and evaluating Internship Evaluation assessment data on a program-specific basis.
6. ISLO 6: Met
7. ISLO 7: In the Student Survey, The Larry L. Luing School of Business had insufficient data to assess whether students will demonstrate critical thinking and problem solving when applying Accounting principles and procedures. In the future, the assessment of this ISLO will in both the Capstone Project Assessment and a question will be added to the Student Survey to adderess this area.

Although competencies in these areas are included throughout the academic program, the Larry L. Luing School of Business will carefully monitor student performance following the implementation of the new business core curriculum.
2. ISLO 2: The performance target for this ISLO was not met in the Capstone Project. Although competencies in written communication are included throughout the academic program, the Larry L. Luing School of Business will take the following steps to improve student performance in this area: (1) Enhance instruction in the area of written communication, (2) Review the core business curriculum to ensure that written communication skills are clearly integrated and emphasized, (3) Continue to provide faculty with training that emphasizes pedagogical techniques that enhance student written communication, (4) Revisit faculty expectations and definition of student proficiency in written communication.
3. ISLO 3: While the performance target for this ISLO was met for the Student Survey, insufficient data was collected from the Capstone Project to accurately assess this ISLO. The academic business unit will review the Capstone Project assessment process to ensure that the data collection process fully supports the accurate assessment of this ISLO in future academic terms.
4. ISLO 4: The performance target for this ISLO was not met in the Capstone Project.
