I Think I'm Done!

I know it sounds crazy right? After ten weeks of work I actually might finish this class and with it's completion my Master's. I have completed my portion of the research project which was to create a paper quiz and then move it to an online format. Last week I posted the online quiz, this week you'll find links to the paper quiz, the student survey and at least a piece of my analysis. The paper quiz has open ended questions rather than the multiple-choice questions which are in the online quiz. The student survey is still rough but I think it gives me a working format at least, but if anyone has suggestions I would be happy to hear them. My analysis at this point is definitely incomplete but I look forward to trying some things out during the next school year.

Thank you for supporting my efforts in completing my master's. Your input, comments, suggestions, and questions have been invaluable to me.

Here are my final documents:

Who's ready for an online quiz!?!

I'm starting to feel like I'm going to survive this quarter after all. With the comps behind me I've been able to turn my attention to finishing this class, and ETEC 692. I have put up my online quiz after creating it on paper. I struggled to figure out the best formatting online. I discovered that in order for my students to truly receive immediate feedback the questions really needed to be either multiple choice or true/false. This turned out to be OK, since the quiz was focused on identifying the parts of the quadratic formula and memorizing the formula itself (California Content Standard Algebra 1 Standard 19). So, the fill in the blank questions from the paper quiz were easily turned into multiple choice questions online. I was not able to have my students try it out but I am hopeful to add this resource to my repertoire of teaching practices for next year.
