Campus Tour
• Most students achieved the learning outcomes, but
not quite at the desired threshold (80%).
• Differences in identifying location of Counselling
Services and International Student Services likely
due to self-identification of need.
• Revisions to the level of expected learning for LO2
from “describing” to “identifying” service functions.
Academic Presentation
• Students easily achieved the learning outcomes but
don’t necessarily apply their learning.
Conclusions
THANKS!
