C REATING AN A SSESSMENT T OOL 30 item test Fall 2006, test questions Spring 2007, full cycle 6 Content areas Selecting reference sources and databases Searching databases Retrieving full-text books and articles Evaluating information Understanding and using the internet Citing sources

A SSESSMENT T OOL (C ONT.) Analysis by Center for Assessment and Research Study (CARS) at JMU After first complete cycle: Increase in overall score Few questionable items Withdraw question Revise question Remove entirely Overall tips: Shorten the correct answer Fewer choices for multiple choice questions

S EMESTER T HREE : U NDERSTANDING T HE A SSESSMENT F ALL 2007 Same instructors teaching lab sections No “teaching the teacher” refresher All instructors gave pre-test Post-test hiccup Assessment test examined again by CARS No significant differences observed Student cohorts Faculty unaware of test content and objectives Refresher of “teach the teachers”

S EMESTER F OUR : T EACHING THE T EACHERS II S PRING 2008 Refresher for instructors Faculty took assessment test Length of test No-point value Wording

R EFINING THE A SSESSMENT T OOL Tweaking the test Point-value assigned Given different week than other course assessment Anecdotal evidence
