Comments:

 

·     Viewing the curriculum through an Earth System Science perspective adds quality to this solid, well-balanced program.

·     Faculty have demonstrated an awareness of and commitment to K-12 education.

·     In the Standards Matrix ESSC 111 is listed in several places where 320 probably should be cited.

·     MTTC results could be disaggregated into majors and minors to gain maximum value from this assessment effort.

·     The MTTC results show that EMU outperforms the state average-not that it has the highest passing rate in the state as claimed.

·     ESSC 347 could be utilized more in the Standards Matrix.
