7) Briefly explain the assessment activities that took place in the last 18 months.
For the BA in Theatre degree all students are required to complete a final portfolio that demonstrates their learning outcomes. This portfolio is then evaluated by our entire faculty through a SurveyMonkey process. In additional, exit interviews are held for each graduating student where students are asked about their experiences in the program, what they would like to see improved, their future plans, etc. Faculty mentors attend this event and then the results are shared with the entire faculty.
8) What types of evidence did the program use as part of the assessment activities checked in question 6? (Check all that apply.)
Direct evidence of student learning (student work products)

Program evidence related to learning and assessment
(more applicable when the program focused on the use of results or assessment procedure/tools in this reporting period instead of data collection)

12) Summarize the results of the assessment activities checked in question 6. For example, report the percent of students who achieved each SLO.
Faculty Exit Rubrics: (on a scale from 1-4, 4 being highest)
Learning Outcomes:
#1: 12.5% at 4, 75% at 3, 12.5% at 2; average 3
#2: 37.5% at 4, 50% at 3, 12.5% at 2; average 3.25
#3: 31.25% at 4, 68.75% at 3, 0% at 2; average 3.31
#4 43.75% at 4, 43.75% at 3, 12.5% at 2 average 3.31
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.
13) What best describes how the program used the results? (Check all that apply.)

14) Please briefly describe how the program used the results.
Discussions are still taking place. There is a need for greater faculty understanding of assessment and using data to drive decisions.
15) Beyond the results, were there additional conclusions or discoveries? This can include insights about assessment procedures, teaching and learning, and great achievements regarding program assessment in this reporting period.
The department replaced (added) a new facutly with a background in acting and directing. This will allow us to offer more acting and directing courses, as well as more sections more often to give students the foundations for the upper level classes.
The Department also also added the 1 credit Improv class (THEA 205) and last year cross-listed an Alexander Technique class under THEA 433/DNCE 433.
16) If the program did not engage in assessment activities, please explain.
The Department did engage in assessment activities.
