For Dean Review only:
How and when will the effectiveness of these changes be determined?
We will never know the effectiveness of this change as we will never have baseline data related to the effectiveness of this new minor without the change. With that said, we are planning an extensive pre and post-test study of the effectiveness of the new minor (current protocol being reviewed by the WOU IRB).
