Review Sessions and Results: Competency Testing in the Capstone Business Class
Parente, Diane H.; Brown, Randy C.; Warner, Alfred G.
Journal of Instructional Psychology, v32 n3 p233-243 2005
Capstone is defined in the dictionary as "putting the final stone in place." Business Policy or Strategic Management is typically the capstone class in a business management degree program. As such, there are prerequisite requirements in terms of courses and specific knowledge. We have implemented a competency test for the capstone class and tested various methods of administration. We used logistic regression to test the various methods for first-time pass and ultimate pass rates of students. Our results indicate that while there was a difference in first time pass with and without review sessions, there was no difference in the ultimate pass rate when review sessions were held. We also found that infinite opportunities for taking the exam made no significant difference in the ultimate pass rate. (Contains 1 table.)
