A brief summary of results from the assessment(s):
In Fall 2014, the first time the sustainability literacy assessment tool was administered (12 students), the percentage of correct answers was 59% - or slightly more than 17 questions answered correctly out of the 30 questions asked. In Fall 2015, the second time the sustainability literacy assessment tool was administered (16 students), the percentage of correct answers was significantly higher, at 70% (over 20 out of 30 questions answered correctly). The respondent pool between the two assessments was completely different, so it is difficult to interpret whether other factors are at play in this improved sustainability literacy performance. We have not yet conducted a followup assessment with the same pool of respondents.
