Techniques for Assessment
Students are assessed in all classes using various means including written assignments, quizzes and exams, along with comprehensive final exams or capstones projects in all classes. While in the E-Commerce degree program students will also prepare an eBusiness plan and an eMarketing plan that will be used for student assessment and to guide the student’s further explorations. Case study analysis and composition by individual and groups will be used for student and peer assessment in the upper level E-Commerce courses (course number 300 and above). Peer assessment is a significant part of the upper level E-Commerce classes allowing for a cross-collaborative exchange of ideas and experiences as well as an indication of future success working in a team environment.

All computer science courses will have Capstone projects for student assessment. The Capstone project is a personally-designed independently conducted activity that enables the student to further their knowledge/skills in one or more of the course topics, which they have found or believe to be especially interesting or beneficial. The project represents a significant portion of the final grade for the course and is therefore expected to represent attainment of advanced knowledge/skill levels in the selected topic. Students will be required to present their Capstone project before their fellow students.

E-Commerce students are also required to complete an internship or participate in an E-Commerce simulator. The E-Commerce simulator will be a supervised, project based, semester long, integrative, real world experience. Students will be assessed by their peers, faculty sponsor and an internship/simulator supervisor on their skills, and abilities, as well as the probability of success in their chosen field.

Graduates also have an opportunity to complete an alumni survey and provide feedback about the quality and effectiveness of the education they have received.
