Tracking Comprehensive Exam Results with CAPP One Approach!
Objectives • Simple coding approach • for recording comprehensive exam results and attempts • for reporting on student’s degree evaluation
Rose Most • Identified three possible approaches • Non-Course Requirement in a program • Special Course—program-specific, zero-credit, pass-fail • Test Score associated with an area • Recommendation: Test Score
Approach • Create a test score code and a test range • Create an area for the analysis • Determine a method for analyzing and interpreting the scores • Test for appropriate feedback for comprehensive examination status
Create Test Score Code & Range • CSCP for MSCIS degree • Values • F1 through P3 where a score of • F1 means FAIL 1st try • F2 means FAIL 2nd try • F3 means FAIL 3rd try • P0 means NO ATTEMPTS • P1 means PASS 1st try • P2 means PASS 2nd try • P3 means PASS 3rd try
Area: Library Qualifiers • CS.GR.COMPS • Common area for two majors—one degree
Area…General Requirements • Low priority
Area: Text display • Generic for reuse by any other program • Rule Design to show NOTMET when no PASS
Area: Rule Definitions • Double test for PASS is to control TEXT display
Area: Range Use Logic F1 F2 F3 P0 P1 P2 P3 PASS NO ATTEMPT 3 FAILS 2 FAILS 1 FAIL
Area: Coding the Rules • RULES • A10 (First level of testing—driven by TEST SCORE RANGE) • 010 PASS CHECK: TEST SCORE RANGE P1-P3 OR • 020 NO ATTEMPT: TEST SCORE RANGE P0-P3 OR • 030 3 FAILS: TEST SCORE RANGE F3-P3 OR • 040 2 FAILS: TEST SCORE RANGE F2-P3 OR • 050 1 FAIL: TEST SCORE RANGE F1-P3 AND • A20 (Second level of testing) • 010 PASS CHECK: TEST SCORE RANGE P1-P3 • Area MET text is shown only for PASS • Area NOT MET text is shown if one of the A10 rules 020-050 is met • YES indicates which of the A10 rules 020-050 is met
TESTING • Seven possibilities tested • NO ATTEMPTS • 1 Attempt and 1 Fail • 2 Attempts and 2 Fails • 3 Attempts and 3 Fails • 1 Attempt and Pass on 1st attempt • 2 Attempts and Pass on 2nd attempt • 3 Attempts and Pass on 3rd attempt
For your program… • Define a comps test score code for each • Degree? Program? • Standard Naming Convention? • Recommend illustrated score range F3 to P3 • Build an area as illustrated • From Scratch or • Use Default All Detail from Another Area option and modify test score code from an existing area • Score maintenance • When student is admitted, initial value is set to P0 • could not determine how to test for null value score • When student makes comps attempt, score is recorded • Recommendation for process from Computer Center?
