Through these work-integrated learning experiences, students and their supervisors evaluate the development of student competencies each semester. Using a unique assessment method developed by Cates and Cedercreutz in 2008, the longitudinal learning outcome data provided by supervisors is analyzed and graphed, creating a visual image of the strengths and weaknesses in student learning over time. In this paper, evaluation data for 242 Hospitality Management majors and 140 Event Management majors at UCF are presented to provide examples of how the use of this assessment method can be a best practice in Hospitality Management programs and curriculum reviews.
