Noting from me for months and then three in one day - something strange is happening.
I have been on our departmental assessment committee for 3 years and we have struggled to come up with a solution for a variety of reasons, but I'll pose one question and one money making scheme Question - if an exit exam is going to be developed from scratch what content areas should it include? What content should ALL psychology majors know? We have been considering a two part exam (part 1 - questions all majors must answer; part 2 - questions drawn from a pool dependent upon which courses you have taken for the degree) that would be computerized so that it could be adaptive. Money making scheme - we as TIPS create an exit exam and sell it at a very reasonable price and use the money to support a psychology scholarship or travel grants for TIPS members. Collectively we must have 1000's of questions in a variety of formats (although I would guess that most places want an easily scored MC exam).
