Should Students Take the Quiz?
| PURPOSE The writing intensive quiz has been designed as a simple instruction tool to assist your students to learn about:
The quiz is only available to students currently enrolled in a writing intensive course. FACULTY ACCESS TO THE QUIZ All Smith faculty members are already enrolled in a Moodle course which will allow you to preview the quiz and review the answers to each question. After logging on to Moodle look for the Research Skills class – then click on Research Skills Assessment, Faculty Review. We ask your help in seeing that all students in writing intensive classes take this quiz regardless of course content. However if a student is enrolled in two such classes, she need go through this process only once. Students may take the quiz at any time during the term in which they are enrolled in a writing intensive course. However the sooner they take the quiz the more quickly they can take advantage of the skills they will acquire. The test is designed for students to take as many times as necessary until they answer all questions correctly. The results of the test are not intended to affect students’ grades in your class in any way. Students should see a Research Skills for Students class when they log into Moodle. Any student who does not have access should contact a member of the Information Literacy Team (see below). We recommend that you duplicate or email a link to the student instruction page “Writing Intensive Quiz – Instructions for Students". During the past two academic years the Research Skills quiz has been taken 2,090 times – sometimes as many as three times by the same person. As students have reviewed the answers to missed questions they almost always have learned and improved their comprehension of the skills being taught as reflected by higher test scores in succeeding attempts. QUESTIONS Please address any questions you have to any member of the Smith College Information Literacy Team.
