Section II: Outcomes and Methods
A. Learner/participant outcomes: Participants will be given raw data and the emerging
themes from the data. From this information, they can infer relationships to their own
programs, courses, and students to discern implications. Additionally, participants
may determine directions for further studies for course/program improvement.
B. Methods: This session will include study description, study findings and study
implications. This information will be delivered to participants in basically a
lecture/discussion format (supported by powerpoint slides) to be followed by a
question and discussion period.
