Use Of Outcome Measures To Modernize Curricula

Abstract

In the current environment in higher education of trying to substantiate and justify that you are doing a great job as a department educating your students to be prepared for the “real world”, outcomes assessment is a major player.  But as many departments have found, “once you have received the feedback, now what do you do with it?”  Our paper will discuss how some of the outcome measurements that we use at Northwest Missouri State University in the Finance discipline become our decision drivers in course content and curricular reformation.
