Section 2: 
2A. Date Section 2 Completed	Write the date that section 2 of the form was completed.	
2B. Description of the Data	Mark the boxes provided to indicate how the data being reported may be described.  Alternatively, instead of marking the boxes, provide a narrative description of the data and the assessment from which the data was drawn.  

1.	Could the assessment from which the data is drawn be described as a formative evaluation or a summative evaluation?
•	Mark Formative Evaluation if the assessment has taken place while the course is still in progress. 
•	Mark Summative Evaluation if the assessment has taken place at the end of the learning experience to show learner achievement.

2.	Could the assessment from which the data is drawn be described as a one-time or multi-step assessment? 
•	Mark One-Time if the assessment took place only one time during the learning experience, or the only assessment being evaluated is the final result of a project (e.g. test, essay, demonstration for which only the final result is evaluated).  
•	Mark Multi-Step if the assessment is a project that took place throughout a learning experience or program and more than just the final result is being evaluated (e.g. multi-step culminating project, portfolio).  

3.	Could the data be described as direct or indirect evidence of student learning? 
•	Mark Direct Evidence if the evidence shows directly that a student has learned (e.g. results from essays, tests, demonstrations).
•	Mark Indirect Evidence for evidence that shows indirectly that a student has learned or through which student learning has to be inferred (e.g. data on persistence, transfer, job placement). 

4.	Could the data being reported here be described as qualitative or quantitative in nature?
•	Mark Qualitative if the data involves narration or description.
•	Mark Quantitative if the data involves numbers and/or percentages.	
2C. Narrative Report of Data	Report your data in this space.  Copy and paste the main content of your data, or attach a separate sheet containing your data.	
2D. Do Data Meet Standards for Success	Refer to Section 1 I-Rubric and Standards for Success.
Check Box 1 if the data does not meet the standards.        
Check Box 2 if the data meet a few of the standards.                      
Check Box 3 if the data is average in terms of meeting the standards.
