 Advanced Practicum in Measurement and Evaluation

Welcome to our wiki. This will serve as a central hub for our time together. As a part of this wiki, you will be able to access class information, download articles, post thoughts on our discussion board and reply to classmates' posts. The practicum is your first course in the program, and is meant to familiarize you with contempory issues in education. Specifically, in the area of measurement and evaluation.

To the left will be the links taking you to each topic page. In each page you will find the articles for the topic, and the mandatory discussion board. We will be meeting 6 times over the course of the semester, and you will be required to post in five of those weeks. We will not post after our last week together. After each class session you will post in the discussion board for the topic discussed in class that week. You will also reply to two other posts provided by your classmates. This needs to be done before our next scheduled class. The topic will only be monitored for one week after the class.

Each week you will earn 5 pts for taking part in the wiki discussion board. 3 points for posting once, and two points for replying (one point per classmate). This will serve two purposes. One, it will be great preparation for the remaining on-line classes you will taking. Second, it will allow those of us who tend not to be vocal to still be heard.

I am looking forward to working with all of you, and I am sure this will be a rewarding experience for us all. Please feel free to contact me at anytime using the e-mail and phone number provided on the syllabus.
