I. Annual Program Learning Assessment:

INTRODUCTION:

The School of Management (SOM) holds an Annual Assessment Retreat, during which the SOM faculty and administration

reviewed MBA program courses to:

1. Identify one programmatic learning objective as a target of the school’s improvement efforts for AY 18-19; 2. Discuss the Master Syllabi and consider additional course revisions, including modifications to course level learning goals,

assurance of learning validations, and scores associated with each assurance of learning validation that are linked to the targeted program-level learning objective;

3. Specify the course-level interventions in support of the selected programmatic learning objective identified in 1, above;

4. Discuss course-specific improvements based on the joint SOM Executive Council/Business Advisory Board External Assessment retreat for purpose of consideration of additional interventions recommended by industry;

5. Assist each course leader on a one-to-one basis to ensure that, for each course, the course-level learning objectives, assurance of learning validations and scores implemented within the GVS in Fall 2018 are consistent with those described in the revised syllabi; and

6. Close the loop on the continuous improvement activities identified during the 2017 retreat.

2018 marks the seventh (7th) year of assessing the MBA program, which includes both general goals (that contribute to the skills

relevant to all NYIT graduate students) and management specific goals (targeting skills relevant to SOM MBA students). Each goal is

supported by a minimum of two (2) measurable learning objectives. Appendix 1 provides a mapping matrix of the MBA programmatic

learning goals by course.

All Learning Goal rubrics prescribe the following scale for the measurement of student performance: 5 = Excellent; 3 = Average; and 1

= Poor. A score of 4 is awarded for students who exceed expectations but are not exceptional. Similarly, a score of 2 is given for

students who do not exceed expectations, but are not failing. The School of Management target achievement for Programmatic

Learning Goals is 3.0. MBA Programmatic Learning Goal rubrics are provided in Appendix 2.

1. CLOSING THE LOOP: Many programs proposed improvement actions based their AY 16-17 assessment reports. Please provide an update

on the proposed improvement actions reported in last year’s assessment report. Where the actions implemented? Are they likely to be

effective?

In AY15-16, the faculty of the School of Management (SOM) agreed to undertake a program revision. This revision reflects the SOM’s

periodic program process, and aligns with the AACSB recommendation to streamline the school’s assessment process. As reported in

Page 3: NYIT Annual Program Assessment Report, June 2018

NYIT Annual Program Assessment Report, June 2018

the 2017 Assurance of Learning Report, the faculty successfully completed the program revision during AY 16-17, and the program

passed through the SOM and Academic Senate Curriculum Committees during AY 17-18. The revised MBA will be implemented in the

Fall of 2018.

The faculty discussed the sixty-four (64) MBA courses, leading to the modification of six (6) assurance of learning validations; the

moving of two (2) assurance of learning validations to Section 9b. (Graded (Not Scored) Assurance of Learning Validations); the

deletion of thirty-four (34) scores linked to general, management-specific or major-specific learning goals; and the addition of six

(6) scores linked to general, management-specific or major-specific learning goals. These results are summarized in Table 1,

below, and additional detail concerning these outcomes is found in Appendix 3. It is important to note that the few modifications

reflect: (1) the teaching out of eight (8) of the thirteen (13) old MBA core courses; and (2) that the five (5) new MBA core courses

have not yet been taught.

2. GOALS: List program learning goals that have been assessed in AY 17-18.

The school employs a comprehensive scoring system that includes multiple scores for each program-level learning goal. Scores are

collected across all levels of the curriculum and across a diverse set of courses. These direct evidences are not only significant in

terms of scale and scope but provide one basis, that taken together with additional indirect assessments and standalone testing

results, result in continuous improvement to the teaching and learning within the curriculum and the overall learning environment

within the School of Management.

In AY 17-18, SOM faculty assessed all general and management-specific learning goals for the MBA program using the scoring

system described above. Details on the rubric used are provided in bullet 3 below. For AY 17-18, faculty entered data for twelve

(12) sections that measured general learning goals with an average of 3.85 across 267 scores. Data measuring management-

specific learning goal attainment was logged for thirty (30) sections. Across the 707 management specific scores, the mean level

of attainment was 3.85 (see Appendix 4).

3. METHOD: Describe the method of assessment and attach measurement instruments (e.g., rubric, exam items, scoring guide for a

particular task, supervisor evaluation form, and standardized assessment tool).

As mentioned in the introduction, all learning goal rubrics prescribe the following scale for the measurement of student performance:

5 = Excellent; 3 = Average; and 1 = Poor. A score of 4 is awarded for students who exceed expectations but are not exceptional.

Similarly, a score of 2 is given for students who do not exceed expectations, but are not failing. The School of Management target

achievement for Programmatic Learning Goals is 3.0. MBA Programmatic Learning Goal rubrics are provided in Appendix 2.

4. ANALYSIS: Report assessment results per learning criteria (e.g., per row of rubric, subset of test items, components of a learning task).

Appendix 4 provides a summary of student attainment of both general and management specific MBA programmatic learning

goals. Of note is the level of student attainment across all learning goals. Specifically, students met or exceeded the target score

of three (3) for all programmatic learning goals. This marks only the second time in the seven (7) years of assessing the MBA

program that this has happened, and the faculty and students are to be commended on this accomplishment.

5. INTERPRETATION: Provide an interpretation of student strengths and weaknesses for a given program learning outcome.

See 4 above, and 6, below.

6. IMPROVEMENTS – If any weakness has been identified, provide a plan for improvement, including timeline, and personal responsibility

for completion.

Although student attainment of all programmatic learning goals exceeded expectation, the faculty choose to focus on an MBA

Page 6: NYIT Annual Program Assessment Report, June 2018

NYIT Annual Program Assessment Report, June 2018

general learning objective as the target for the SOM continuous improvement during AY 18-19. Specifically, the faculty discussed

the score data provided in Appendix 3, and chose general learning goal 2 (Recognize socio-economic issues, and establish and

defend a position supported by ethical reasoning) or MBA-2G, for improvement during the 18-19 academic year. The rationale for

selecting MBA-2G included:

1. The lower level of student attainment of general learning goals relative to management specific learning goal attainment; 2. The faculty’s perception that emerging socio-economic issues, as well as ethical reasoning, are vital to student academic

and professional success; and 3. The low average score of MBA-2G relative to other goals in AY 17-18.

After identifying MBA-2G as the continuous improvement target, course of BUSI 650, MGMT 650, MRKT 620 and QANT 630

agreed to monitor student attainment of this goal by way of formative assessment of the assurance of learning validation

components relating to this goal.

Results of these interventions to support student attainment of MBA-2G will be tracked during AY18-19, and outcomes will be

shared with the faculty during the 2019 Annual Assessment Retreat and in the 2019 Annual Assessment Report.

II. Brief Description of Faculty Engagement in the Current Annual Assessment Report:

Won Suh, Veneta Sotiropoulos, Amr Swid, Raj Tibrewala, and Joo-Kwang Yun.

During AY 17-18, faculty reviewed student work and scored assignments linked to MBA learning objectives using rubrics for each

objective. These scores are then entered into the SOM Goal Validation System (GVS), a program developed and maintained by the

SOM Director of Assessment Analytics (Dr. Raj Tibrewala). The faculty then participate in the annual assessment retreat, including an

examination of student attainment of all programmatic learning objectives, identification of an objective for improvement, and

integration of course-appropriate interventions that seek to improve student attainment of this learning objective. Faculty also

discuss all assessment instruments, update the required and reference resources, suggested grading guidelines, and the weekly topics

for each course.

For additional detail concerning faculty involvement in the assessment process, please see Section I, above.

III. Annual Program Achievement Goals:

Please provide examples of readily available data on program student achievement (e.g., first-year retention rates, six-year graduation rates,

average time to degree completion, certification exam pass rate, student satisfaction survey results, employer satisfaction results, % pursuing an

advanced degree, % of job placement, etc.)

Note. Please contact Director of Planning and Assessment, Kathleen Gill ([email protected]) for assessment support.
