The paper was a valuable part of this class as well as
the homework assignments.

Due to the short amount of time in the summer semester,
Dr. Whatley kept the class as laid back as possible. however, we
learned a whole lot of information through extra assignments, creating
a scale and reporting the results in an APA paper. i really enjoyed
this course.
|
|
Everything was fine.
|
The most vauable aspect
was lerning how to create a scale and doing the experiment to se if the
scale actually worked.
|
The class was great.
|
The course was wonderful.
Beings that the class was a summer course there was not much time to go
over the text in class, however, the instructor was in the office to
answer any questions and clear up any confusions so that made up for
the lack of time in class. Great Course!!

the professor and summer
session, class came up with experiment

|
Everything! Dr. Whatley
did an outstanding job focusing on the issues that were relevant to
test and measurements. Also developing a scale as a class and writing a
paper on it was very valuable.

the cost of book
|
Make Dr. Whatley teach
this course during the fall and spring!!!
|
Dr. Whatley is definitely
an expert in the field, so we were being taught by a well qualified
instructor. The homework assignments were helpful in gaining
better understanding of the material. The class project helped to
really drive home some of the concepts.
|
'None, every class was
constructive and useful in accomplishing the department's goals.
|
This instructor could
focus on teaching students, rather than on treating them as though they
are 2nd semester grad students. Again, he is arrogant and the one
time I went to him to ask him a question, he seemed more
concerned with proving me wrong than with teaching me why I got the
question wrong. Wow, I am sorry
you feel that way. I would rather you have the correct information than
go around with the wrong information. If that makes me arrogant in your
book, then that's the price I will gladly pay.
|
The website was especially
valuable for this course. In addition to Dr. Whatley's tests and
measurements webpage, his experimental webpage was also very helpful.
The websites contain valuable samples, reference guides, and practice
quizzes. Homework assignments given were helpful in learning how to
apply the course material. Many students like to grumble about papers,
but I feel that the paper in this course was a valuable tool in
applying the material.
|
The class lectures served
to confuse me more than anything. This instructor seems to be more
concerned at times with impressing students with his knowledge than
with teaching them. i.e., he is usually very short in answering
questions, and sometimes just seems too arrogant to approach.
|
The workload was heavy for
the summer semester, but I think Dr. Whatley compensated for that
adequately by cutting back on the chapters covered and allowing class
time to obtain participants for the test development questionnaires.
|
Dr. Whatley's website was
extremely helpful, not only in preparing for this class, but as
well as for others. I will definitely resort back to his website for
future reference. He was also available and more than willing to answer
questions I had about the class, in addition to questions regarding
graduate school. I also enjoyed doing the research paper, because it
allowed me to gain a better understanding of the subject as oppossed to
just reading the text.
|
None. All assignments were
valuable to the course.
|
Dr. Whatley is a wonderful
teacher and although students perceive him to be a very demanding of
his students(which he is),in the long run, he adaquately prepares his
students to do well in graduate school.

Learning how to use SPSS
in the development of a scale was useful.
