Questionnaire

WCC PSY 240 MODULE # 2 - KNOWLEDGE SURVEY - SPRING 2007 - DR. COBERLY

This is a Knowledge Survey rather than a "test." There are no right or wrong answers. While you will not be graded on this survey, please be very candid in your responses!

By completing this survey at the beginning and at the end of the semester, your instructor will be able to gauge your initial level of knowledge and then measure the amount of knowledge you gained during the semester. This information will help your instructor modify and improve the course.

Read each statement carefully and then choose a response based on the following instructions:

Select 1 as your response to the item if you don't know how to respond to the item.

Select 2 as your response to the item if you know a little , but not a lot, abut how to respond to the item.

Select 3 as your response to the item if you feel very confident that you can fully respond to the item.
