What we are planning to work on:

• To continue improve on the post-test scores by an item analysis of all the questions given in the pre-test by the instructor with the purpose of identifying what topics the students need to know more. These topics should be given emphasis during the lecture. Item analysis workshop can be scheduled before the start of the semester.
• Communicate course concerns with their instructors.

Recommendations for students:

• Attend class regularly and be responsible for their own learning.
• Communicate course concerns with their instructors.
