Pre/Post Test
Analysis:
Average scores on this particular assessment increase by 20%.
Results:
Students take a pretest on medical vocabulary and then the same test at the end of the class as a posttest.
Changes:
I would like to try a proofreading pre/post test next semester.
Continuance:
Same,other than as stated above.
Results of Prior Assessment:
I don`t believe the pre/post test is very effective for this particular class in assessing learning. Different methods need to be explored.

PrePost
Analysis:
Through repetitive class assignments and class discussion, terminology is learned.
Results:
A pretest consisting of 82 questions on medical terminology meanings, as well as the meaning of combining forms and suffixes was given during the first class meeting and the same test was given on the last day of class. Students showed a definite increase in knowledge from one test to the other. For example: As many as 66 questions were missed on the pretest and the most missed on the post test was 27. All others ranged from 22-49 missed on the pretest and 2 to 14 missed on the post test. A definite improvement.
Changes:
The medical terminology section of the class will require additional class work, etc. to become more profecient with the terms. The transcription of the cases will be due in a more timely manner so that they can be graded and returned to students for review before completing future cases.
Continuance:
Repetition of terms during every class period. Use of the index cards for the suffixes and prefixes.
Results of Prior Assessment:
This was my first semester teaching this class.

Pre-Post Test
Analysis:
The class had some knowledge of medical terminology at the beginning of the class, which is unusual for this course. The only students that failed the class were those who did not complete all assignments; moreover, failing students did not take the posttest. This helps to explain the rather high average on the post test.
Results:
Average score on the pretest was 61% for the class. Average score on the posttest was 93% for the class.
Changes:
The posttest has traditionally not been averaged into the final grade. I will average this assessment into the final grade next semester. Students will use the modules provided on WebCT for this course next semester.
Continuance:
Continue with all.
Results of Prior Assessment:
No changes last time.

pre & post tests
Analysis:
Students have learned some basic medical terminology and have beginning knowledge of transcribing medical reports.
Results:
Scores on post test were considerably higher than on pre test.
Changes:
None.
Continuance:
All methods will remain the same.
Results of Prior Assessment:
Students are now required to complete eight transcription cases rather than the previous six cases required. This change was instituted this fall and seemed to give students a more thorough exposure to medical transcribing.
