We do not want you to study for the test.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why?<\/h2><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our department uses the results of the test (aggregate data only) to assess our computer science curriculum. It is a way to compare our program with other computer science programs around the country. The goal is to make our major program better.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who Sees My Scores?<\/h2><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Aside from the professor (currently Jon Sorenson) who proctors the test, no one besides the student will know the score. Only averages and similar aggregate data are shared with the rest of the department for assessment purposes.<\/p>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"parent":359,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-646","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"revision_note":"","yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.5 (Yoast SEO v28.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Major Field Achievement Test | Butler University<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.butler.edu\/arts-sciences\/computer-science-software-engineering\/major-field-achievement-test\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Major Field Achievement Test | Butler University\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.butler.edu\/arts-sciences\/computer-science-software-engineering\/major-field-achievement-test\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"College of Liberal Arts &amp;
