Direct Measures
BMIS 481 Systems Analysis and Design II is the MIS capstone course used for assessment. BMIS 481 will include realistic student team projects. BMIS 481 students will demonstrate the outcome of those realistic projects and orally present their projects. Each team member will participate. All MIS faculty will evaluate student projects when they are presented. If the project is for an outside entity, appropriate personnel of that entity participate.
The Major Field Test program is an innovative battery of undergraduate outcomes tests used by schools and departments at more than 600 colleges and universities globally to measure student academic achievement and growth. The scores of this test allow for detailed curriculum review and evaluation. The Major Field Test is an objective, end-of-program test. The content specifications for the Major Field Test reflect the basic knowledge and understanding gained in the undergraduate curriculum. In addition to factual knowledge, the test evaluates students' ability to analyze and solve problems, understand relationships and interpret material. It contains questions that call for information as well as questions that require interpretation of graphics, diagrams, and charts based on material related to the field.
All business majors complete this test as part of the requirements for successful completion of BMGT 495. The test is administered during Final Week. After the test has been scored, the results are returned to the College and distributed to the departments. These results are then used for curriculum assessment and change.
