70% of students in one of the required networking courses (CIS 199 or CIS 269) will achieve a passing score (defined as a score of “Successful� on the first attempt of a hands-on project requiring the construction of a

for various configuration options for a simulated computer system.) Students did well on content, but were weakest on grammar and punctuation.

74% of students achieved a passing score of 70% or higher on the first attempt on the final project. Most errors were related to failure to implement loops accurately in regard to indexing array elements and not accurately utilizing accumulator variables.

also have added an interactive PPT exercise to test their understanding of material.

As a result of analysis, faculty have revised curriculum to spend additional instructional time on implementing arrays with loops, including indexing of arrays and counter variables to process arrays. More review assignments have also been incorporated. Faculty have also increased emphasis on accumulator variables, how to implement them and when to use them within an algorithm by showing examples in videos and presentations. 100% of students in CIS 199 As a result of analysis, faculty achieved a passing score on the have incorporated additional first attempt building a patch exercises reinforcing standard cable. Most errors were related color coding. Faculty have also to wires not terminated required that networking correctly because of crossed students purchase a networking colors and not pushing wires up kit, which includes wire enough through the cable to strippers, connector tester, a
