Module Test
Analysis:
By analyzing the data from the modular tests I get a better understanding where each student and the class as a whole stand and which areas need revisiting before we move on to the next module or phase of the project
Results:
Module test is given at the end of each chapter, which is both written and hands on, this gives a better understanding if the student is ready to move on to the next component of the project or if more instruction is needed in a particular area.
Changes:
I have noticed that students need more blueprint reading and interpretation of specifications skills. I plan on making each student do more detail and section drawings of thier projects with written specification sheets.
Continuance:
The Habitat for Humanity house project is the foundation of the course as the text and curriculum follow the natural progression of a house.
Results of Prior Assessment:
The addition of construction scheduling, management, and cost estimating have been well recieved by the students and fit the course well, with the sophomore students implementing what they had learned by providing Habitat for Humanity with a cost and project schedule for the house project which was needed for grant purposes by Habitat.

pre/post tests, module test, building component test (hands on )
Analysis:
The hands on still has the largest impact on what the students learn and retain. The students grasp the concepts better with the hands on and the accompanying work sheets used with our text book which we implemented this year. The students value the evaluations and critique of their building component test.
Results:
Pre/post test good indicator of where the student stands at the beginning and end of the course. Module test; good indicator of how much theory the student is absorbing. Building component test shows how much of the theory the student can apply in their project.
Changes:
Plan on implementing more visual learning in the class room through power point, videos, and guest speakers. Also plan on having students teach a component of the class to their fellow students to help with communication skills and hopefully boost attendance and decrease tardiness.
Continuance:
The NCCER books, software and work sheets work well. The building of the Habitat home is the perfect Lab for the students to learn theory and methods and lets them interact with others in the building industry i.e. building inspectors, engineers, suppliers and other trades people.
Results of Prior Assessment:
The addition of the work sheets worked well with the theory class. More building code was implemented per the students request which was very well received in the class room. Because the students asked for more information on the administrative parts of construction, we will be adding construction scheduling, ethics, management and cost estimating.

pre/post test, module test, building component test (hands on)
Analysis:
Students grasp the concepts when the hands on approach is used, the student values and learns more from the evaluation and critique of their building component test.
Results:
Pre/post test still good indictor of where the student stands at the beginning and end of the course. Module test; good indicator of how much theory the student is absorbing. Building component test shows how much of the theory the student can apply in their project.
Changes:
Plan on using work sheets provided by the NCCER (National Center for Construction Education and Research) that accompany the text books that we use,which will follow chapters in the book with hands on tasks and tests.
Continuance:
The NCCER books and software work well with the program.
The building of the house for Habitat for Humanity is the perfect Lab for the students to learn theory and methods in, not only lets the studentlearn the components and construction of a house but lets them interact with others in the building industry i.e. building inspectors, engineers,suppliers and other trades people.
Results of Prior Assessment:
No changes from last assessment other then implementing more building code facts and questions as asked for by the students, which leads to good discussion in the class room.

VE-135,graded on scale models of different components of a home
Analysis:
I have learned that the students want to have more hands on and that they understand the theroy and application better when given the chance to see what they are learning applied in the field.
Results:
Data collected is used to find where the students strengths and weaknesses are and to find which teaching methods have the most impact on the students ability to learn,comprehend and retention
Changes:
I have changed the text that is being used to fit the class better as far as the new one follows the steps in building a home or building more closely and the book has more hands on components for the class room
Continuance:
hands on has had the best results,That is why we have teamed up with Habitat for Humanity to build the homes they need which will be one a year
Results of Prior Assessment:
no previous assessment plan
