1. Results of assessment disseminated to Ground school instructors and the flight contractor inorder to increase attention on those areas identified which require additional emphasis.2. Special classes presented on airspace in AVT 144 and 244; additional assistance given to AVT141 instructor in the form of graduate assistants to enable increased oneonone instruction tostudents. More written exercises are being assigned in all areas.3. Department will, starting Fall 2013, have our own flight school with a more highly controlled andmonitored curriculum.4. Above efforts will continue until 20132014; FAA written test results will be closely monitored aswell as designated flight examiner reports in order to gauge our improvement in progress.
