Animal Science 410 is an advanced dairy management course in a capstone series for graduating seniors. The course is team-taught by a group of instructors, has an on-farm evaluation component, and integrates production information with financial and business management concepts. For the past 4 years, students were asked to provide course feedback and complete a short supplemental survey about “learning effectiveness.” This survey was in addition to the regular online course evaluation data gathered for all courses. The objective of this supplemental survey was to better understand the impact of a team taught course with real world examples had on the quality of student learning. From 2011 to 2014, a total of 80 students completed the course and 76 responses were gathered in the short supplemental survey about 3 key areas of course structure: team taught format, farm evaluation experience and integration of production and financial data. Students were asked to rank the learning effectiveness of each area on a Likert scale of 1 to 5 where 1 = poor for learning and 5 = excellent for learning. Students were also asked to provide feedback about course structure, either verbally with an instructor or as written comments as part of the short supplemental survey. Average ratings for the team taught format were 3.8 (n = 74) with a range of 2 to 5, for farm evaluation 4.2 (n = 76) with a range of 2 to 5 and for integration of production and financial information 4.7 (n = 75) with a range from 3 to 5. Key areas for improvement from student comments included information about “linking” classroom concepts to the farm evaluation, “standardizing” information and testing across instructors, and the need for “real world” financial data. Key areas that appeared to positively affect student learning were the use of classroom examples to explain concepts, interactive classroom discussion, and the quality of data available from farm evaluations. Based on results of this data set, consistency of information among instructors in a team-taught course and the use of high quality data in classroom examples can have positive benefits on student learning.
