Increased Importance of MIS CSFs
To my mind, the pressure from evaluations increases the importance of our developing a list of critical success factors for the MIS class (see entry below). A nationally-endorsed list of critical learnings and behaviors would give us a solid basis for peer evaluation and a well-grounded argument of our effectiveness to the administration. It would also provide an explanation to the students: "Look, this is what they're learning at other universities nationally. If you want to be competitive on the national market, you'd better be learning these things."
BTW, I know that CSFs include more than course goals and objectives; they also include us, our environment, our relationships, our material, etc.
