Outcomes #1: There was a technical difficulty with the administration of the online version of the field test. By the time the problem was discovered, it was too close to the end of the term to require students to take the test. The problem will be reviewed and when the test is re-administered in two-years (spring – 2012) there will be more attention paid to ensuring administrative functions work.
