15) Please briefly describe how the program used the results.

We will have faculty meet before the semester to talk about performance expectations and develop a list of ways the faculty can communicate the strategies to students. The committee will followup by distributing the information to faculty each semester to ensure we have the same performance expectations and to ensure students know about them.
