Tentative Schedule – Spring, 2007

These are the approximate dates on which the following topics will be covered:

Coverage will include familiarization with the test/ assessment instrument, learning to administer the test, practice administration with classmates, learning to score and interpret the test, and learning to write up the tests individually and as part of a battery.

You will also be able to obtain your own personal battery of test responses that you can later privately score and interpret.

In addition to general discussion of the tests in class, from time to time we will also discuss test responses obtained from your test subjects.

NOTE: All discussion of test materials is CONFIDENTIAL and not to leave the classroom.

Report Deadlines – Spring, 2007

NOTE: The rule re: deadlines is that papers submitted on or before the deadline date get a "free look"; i.e. I will give you feedback on your report without grading it. You may then make changes before submitting the report for a grade. Reports received after the deadline date will be graded "as is". Regardless of when you hand in your report, you may do a re-write at any time. However, the sooner you do your re-write, the more you will be able to benefit from the feedback received. Also, this will give you more time to do additional re-writes, should these be necessary or desirable.
