"Reading quiz"
- Please read this article and answer the questions on Canvas as best you can.
- Estimated time commitment: ~1 hour
- Deadline: May 7, 11:59 p.m.
- Why are we doing this: One of the goals of First-Year Seminars is to read and assess increasingly sophisticated texts critically. This is the College's way of assessing how well this course meets that goal.
- Any good-faith effort will count as full credit for your reading quiz score. You will not be graded for the purposes of our class, but please do your best.
Final assessment
- Remember that your final assessment is due on May 1, 2025.
- If you want to hand it in later than that, that is fine! Please email me no later than this Friday, April 25, at 11:59 p.m.
- Remember: no feedback after May 1!
In-class activity
- Question: how was your first year of college?
- You will work with your group to develop a self-report assessment of how well someone's first year of college at Wake Forest went.
- In order to determine this, you will...
- Decide what dimensions you want to measure
- Come up with least 3-4 questions you will ask to measure each dimensions
- Articulate how you will assess the reliability and validity of this assessment. In particular, we need:
- Test-retest reliability
- Inter-item reliability
- Concurrent and discriminant validity
- Predictive validity
Course evaluations
- Wake Forest University and the Department of Psychology are committed to effective teaching.
- Students assist in maintaining and enhancing this effectiveness by completing Student Evaluations of Teaching Forms in a thoughtful and honest manner.
- Students are asked to take time to respond to all questions and make suggestions for course improvement.
- Student evaluations can help improve instruction and are used in the annual faculty evaluation, reappointment, and promotion and tenure processes.
- If you do not wish to participate in the process, write “no comment” on the form and turn it in.
- Instructors are not present during the completion of evaluations.
- Instructors are not given student comments, nor informed of the results of the evaluation, until after final grades have been submitted.
