Assessment Data & Analysis: The students were given an exam consisting of 28 questions. Out of the 28 questions there were 27 multiple choice questions and 1 essay question. All seven students in the class attempted the exam and all of the students were able to pass. Out of the seven students, three received A grades and four received B grades. For the next semesters, I would recommend switching up the questions. Instead of having multiple choice questions, it would be good to challenge the students with more essay questions.
