Most Valuable Course Aspects: Least Valuable Course Aspects: Suggestions for improvement:


Group assignments, working in the computer lab, class discussions, basically everything was valuable to some degree. I would not consider any part of this course to be without value in some degree. N/A
Actually, the paper was. The feedback given helped to streamline my ideas and provide a slightly better understanding of what was important when looking at such scales as we created. Class discussions. They could have been somewhat more structured. I personally would also have preferred a more lecture-oriented approach to the different types of reliability and validity and other such areas of the course. I did like the way we approached the construction of the scale, however.

At the beginning of the course, I informed all students that this course would be taught in a seminar format.

As the course progresses, the instructor could take a moment here and there to point out how the information we are learning will help us in our careers/career choices.

Good idea. I will incorporate your suggestion in the future.

Having to do a class experiment was a good way for the class to learn. N/A N/A
The sample questions from the web. The book, for the sake of my fellow peers, please change the book!!!! This book makes a great bed-time story.

I do not select the book that is used.

To make this course more valuable, you could consider actually teaching your students something. I learned absolutely nothing from this course, and the book did not help to clarify anything. However, the class itself was fun.

I am disturbed that, and cannot believe that, you did not learn one single piece of new information from this course.

The course was interesting. N/A N/A
