II.  Students will be given the same questionnaire at the last day of class.  The results will be compared to see the percentage of students who have improved and have achieved the 6 learning outcomes.

III.  The exams will include at least one problem that addresses each of these SLOs.  One of each will be analyzed student by student to see if they have accomplished the SLO.
