We (faculty) do it (administer the MFAT) the first Saturday morning of the Spring semester, and it's just part of what we do. We rotate the duty through the faculty, and are not compensated.
It's altogether (getting ready, administering it, cleaning up and mailing it) about three hours a year for us, and so isn't a big deal. That may not be true everywhere. m ------ "There is no power for change greater than a community discovering what it cares about." -- Margaret Wheatley -----Original Message----- From: Rick Froman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, April 09, 2007 2:18 PM To: Teaching in the Psychological Sciences (TIPS) Subject: [tips] Honorarium for proctoring We use the Major Field Tests for Outcomes assessment in our division and some time ago we went to asking the department chairs to proctor it to communicate to students (some of whom will not take it seriously since it has no personal consequences) the importance of the test to the division and the institution. I wonder if any of you have experience with having faculty proctor standardized tests and whether you do or, even if your only experience is with nonfaculty proctors, what an appropriate honorarium would be for proctoring such a test. I will take a couple of hours in a computer lab (the test is online).
