Spring 2003 AISL Report

J. Gilmore Pre-Post-Test During the course of the semester up to 27 students enrolled in this course. Some dropped or for various reasons 12 either did not take the first test or the last leaving a total of 15 who did. Those who took both pre test and post test scored an average of 25.5% on the first test and an average of 77.5% on the post test for an average gain for the entire class of 52%. On the post test the average increase in score was 66% with the lowest increase being 29% and the greatest being 89%. The number would have been even greater but for the few students who did not come to class.

In this class I do not require attendance. I have trusted them to act like adults. Apparently some cannot handle this freedom, therefore, I am considering adding required attendance to the syllabus.

Being much more specific in repeating charater names and plot points over and over again.

The post test scores have continued to climb.
