The All Undergraduate in Business programs' 2018-19 annual assessment report to the David Nazarian College of Business and Economics for the Office of Academic Assessment and Program Review. Following its established assessment cycle, the AUBP measured and analyzed student work in its SLO Group 1, and closed the loop on its 2017-18 findings with respect to its SLO Group 2. Direct and indirect assessments of Oral and Written communication, Critical Thinking/Problem Solving, and Ethics were conducted, with overall results in the direct assessments indicating that students met departmental benchmarks of 85% Very Good to Good Enough in the Oral Communication category of Organization but not Delivery; and in Written Communication as measured in course work but not as measured by UDWPE results. Students failed to meet benchmark in all categories of Ethics. Interventions in response to those areas where students did not make benchmark are included in the report, along with complete tables of all results (direct and indirect) and descriptions of how the assessments were conducted and analyzed. Interventions in response to the 2017-18 assessments are described as including the modification of prompts accompanying assessed assignments to ensure greater clarity, a revision of all program SLOs to ensure their relevance to the current business environment (new PSLOs included in the report), and the adoption of a new two-year assessment cycle by which data on all PSLOs will be collected in the first year, followed by analysis and application in the succeeding year (to be implemented in AY 2019-20). The College will also participate in the 2019-20 General Education Section D assessments.
