FACULTY COURSE ASSESSMENT REPORT

Computer Science and Engineering  2018-19

 

EECS 148 / CS 132 Computer Networks

 

Academic Term:   Winter 2019                       Instructor:   Marco Levorato

 

Student Outcome Indicators (evaluations of CSE students only):

 

For each student outcome indicator, identify (1) the assignment (which quiz, quiz problem, exam problem, or project) was used to assess that indicator, (2) the maximum score possible on that assignment, (3) the performance standard for that assignment expressed in points and also as a percentage of max, (4) the number of CSE students who were assessed on that assignment, (5) the average score achieved by them expressed in points and percentage of max, and (6) the number and percentage of CSE students who achieved the performance standard.

 

This course assesses Outcome Indicators E1a, C1a, C6a.

 

E1a – Students have an ability to identify, formulate, and solve a complex engineering problem by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics

C1a – Students have an ability to analyze a complex computing problem and apply principles of computing and other disciplines to identify solutions

C6a – Students have an ability to apply computer science theory and software development fundamentals to produce computing-based solutions

What changes did you make in this course based on previous assessment results?

 

None.

 

What recommendations do you have for improving the course the next time it is taught?

 

None.

 

What recommendations do you have, if any, regarding prerequisite courses or other ways to improve student preparation for this course?

 

None.

 

Note any Outcome Indicators for which under 70% of CSE students met the standard. What are the plans to address these issues?

 

HW6: We plan to give students more time to complete homework. Since HW6 was published at the same time with HW5 and was close to finals, many students could not finish the entire problem. Finals: We plan to help students by having the discussion session span the contents of the course thoroughly.
