- Look at students taking consecutive courses in adjacent semesters (i.e. EG101-EG121, MA271-MA375, etc).
- Divide by faculty
- Generate information about pass/fail ratio of second course
- Compare individual faculty to average of all faculty or to some predefined benchmark.
- Each department should identify at least one segment.
- Note that this would be most effective with departments offering large section counts for these coursers.
- Note also that assessment only works for those faculty involved in such sections.
