Summarize the actual results.
Faculty Exit Rubrics: (on a scale from 1-4, 4 being highest)
Learning Outcomes:
#1: 47% at 4, 51% at 3, 3% at 2; average 3.55
#2: 59% at 4, 39% at 3, 3% at 4; average 3.55

Student Exit Surveys:
These surveys ask students to rate their abilities in 19 different questions treating five main curricular areas: Acting, History/Theory, Directing, Design, and Stagecraft. The responses, on a 1-5 scale, are varied and more difficult to summarize, but are used by faculty to make some of the changes detailed below.
Exit Interviews:
Changes suggested by the interviews are discussed among the faculty. Many of these suggestions are noted in Question #12.
12) State how the program used the results or plans to use the results. Please be specific.
The Department expanded offerings in the Scenic Design area via our new professor (including bringing back the very popular Scenic Painting course).
A new 200 level introductory design course has been written (it is geared primarily for non-majors, but open to all).
The new Hawaiian Theatre program continues to move forward with a full-scale production (and appropriate training classes) being offered in February 2015.
13) Beyond the results, were there additional conclusions or discoveries?
This can include insights about assessment procedures, teaching and learning, program aspects and so on.
