More remains to be done to develop techniques for evaluating exam equivalence and student equivalence.
Because we wanted to avoid giving an identical exam again, we created two methods for evaluating exam equivalence across the six quarters.
We received approval to evaluate exam, quiz, preassessment, and postassessment results (exempt status; Protocol 0108.9), analyze student attitude survey responses (expedited status, Protocol 0603.08), and observe students working on group activities (exempt status; Protocol 0809.18) from the University of Colorado Boulder Institutional Review Board.
These ratings were assigned to each student for: 1) monitoring exam 1 strategies and 2) evaluating exam 1 strategies when planning for exam 2. We coded evaluating and planning together, because we did not specifically ask them to rate their exam 1 study plan.
Will the professor be available to answer questions and evaluate exams, or have these tasks been assigned to a teaching assistant?
The report is based on the analyses of exit test prompts, exit exam transcripts, scoring guides used in writing classes and during the calibration sessions to evaluate exit exams, reading passages, and interviews with students and teachers of first year writing courses.
We therefore evaluated this exam separately and compared the results to the overall results.
This skill should not be confused with monitoring of conceptual understanding, which is another important metacognitive skill (see Evaluating Exam 1 Study Plan While Planning for Exam 2).
Dental trauma, enamel defects (DDE index), periodontal status (bleeding) and dental treatment needs were evaluated in exams and categorized according to presence or absence, according WHO recommendations [ 37].
Discriminant validity was further evaluated by examing the association between the COHIP-SF 19 scores and clinical severity with the number of decayed teeth (DT + dt) and the categories of malocclusion (no/mild/severe malocclusion) adjusted by age, gender, and school district.
