Evaluation

Class Participation

You are expected to attend every lecture. You must make arrangementsto make up for any excused absences. Excessive absences may result in afailure to complete the course. More than 2 absences is excessive.

You are expected to practice assessment skills in role-playing exercises. Ifnecessary, you are expected to consult with me to overcome anyobstacles such as shyness and performance anxiety that might preventyou from participating fully.

Readings/Videos

All university courses should be challenging and exciting. Classdiscussions should be relevant, spirited, and intellectually serious. At thegraduate level, much of the responsibility for making the classdiscussions lively and interesting shifts from the instructor to theparticipants. For graduate students, the expectations for academic rigorduring discussions are also higher than they are for undergraduates. Forexample, graduate students are expected to base their arguments ontheory and empirical data rather than solely on intuition and personalexperience. Unfortunately, many students cannot engage in informeddiscussions very often because they have not completed their assignedreadings. The following policies and procedures were developed topromote an atmosphere of intellectual rigor, competence, andenthusiasm in the course:

Throughout the course you will be assigned readings/videos. You areexpected to have read/watched the assignments prior to the class period.

http://my.ilstu.edu/~wjschne/PD1/PD1SyllabusFA2016.html 6/22

Reaction Papers

Write up a short reaction to each of the assigned readings/videos. Yourreaction should include the main point(s) of the readings/videos, usefulknowledge you extracted from the reading/videos, and a critical appraisalof the readings/videos.

Class Discussion of Readings

In each class period, the assigned readings/videos will be discussed andthe instructor will present new material. The intent of these discussionsis to integrate new concepts with your current understanding. You areexpected to come prepared to demonstrate a basic understanding of themain ideas of each assignment.

During discussion, you are encouraged to use the readings and yournotes but you must be able to make your points succinctly and withoutexcessive delay. If, for whatever reason, you have not completed thereading, you are expected to say so when called upon. Please note thatexcessive memorization of the readings is not necessary to answer thetypes of questions that are likely to be asked. I simply wish to ensure thatyou grasp the main ideas and have thought about the topics withsufficient depth.

Assessment Skills

There are certain skills that assessment professionals should have. Youwill find that if you have these skills, life will be easier for you and youwill stand out as especially competent among other practitioners. Thereare a number of skills that I have identified as important. In order to passthe class, you will need to demonstrate on at least two occasions that youcan perform these skills flawlessly. This list may grow as the semesterprogresses.

Convert scores from any standard score metric to any other standardscore metric. Okay to use calculator. No notes.

Convert standard scores to percentiles and vice versa. Okay to usesoftware (e.g., Excel). No notes.Memorize this chart and so that the benchmarks can be recalledquickly and fluidly.In brief role-playing exercises with hypothetical parents or teachers,be able to explain with confidence, ease, and authority the followingconcepts:

perhaps interesting, can be looked up again when needed. From time totime, I will notify you in class or by email which aspects of previouslectures and readings you are expected to remember without the aid ofyour notes. At any time during the semester, I will ask you todemonstrate your knowledge in a quiz. To prevent unnecessary anxiety,the types of information you will need to know will be given to you inadvance.

After you have been notified that I expect you to know something, youcan be quizzed on it at any time.

Test Administration & Scoring

Practice administrations with peers

You will be assigned different partners with whom to practiceadministering various tests. It is important to keep in mind that you arenot evaluating each other’s cognitive abilities. Thus, when being given atest, you are encouraged to pretend to be a well-behaved child or low-functioning adult, depending on the test (i.e., do not try to get all thequestions correct). You are also encouraged to give your partner answersthat are neither extremely difficult nor extremely easy to score. Becourteous, professional and reliable in all your dealings with yourassigned partners. You are required to practice giving 1 full protocol ofeach of the following tests: WJ IV cognitive, WISC–V, SB5, and theKABC–II. Completing these 4 practice administrations will require alarge time commitment. Do not procrastinate. You should score allpractice protocols and submit them to be graded. All tests will be gradedon a pass/fail basis.You must receive a passing grade (<20 error points)on all 4 tests in order to pass the course.

Live administration of the the WISC–V with the GAs.

You must give a perfect admininstration of each subtest in a role playwith the GAs. Once a subtest has been passed, it does not need to berepeated.

http://my.ilstu.edu/~wjschne/PD1/PD1SyllabusFA2016.html 9/22

Video administration a with real child

You will demonstrate competency in the administration of the WISC–Vwith a child or adolescent. The administration must be recorded byvideo. The GAs will review your video for adminstration accuracy. If youdo not display mastery on the administrations, you will be required toresubmit another video administration. You are strongly encouraged toview and critique your video performance before turning it in to beevaluated. Detailed checklists are available to guide your critique. If youcatch your own mistakes, you will only lose half as much credit. You willcomplete a protocol for each of these administrations. The protocols willbe graded by the GAs. Each protocol will be evaluated for the accuracy ofscoring judgments as well as clerical calculations. Errors on any of thefollowing will result in deduction of points:

Standard procedures followed (basal & ceilings, discontinuations,etc.)Responses recorded verbatim and scored accuratelyFront page of protocol complete & accurate clericallyCalculations, transfer of scores, and tables read correctlyScoring judgments match standards and criteria in manual

Each minor error will be worth 1 to 4 points Each major error will beworth 5 to 20 points You must pass at least with no more than 10 errorpoints. It usually takes people 2 to 3 attempts so plan ahead. It is yourresponsibility to find participants for your administrations. You willnot be sharing official test results with the volunteers you test unlessgranted permission from the instructor. Do not offer feedback as anincentive for volunteering. The criterion for success is to be able tocomplete an administration from start to finish with minimal errors.Thus, your videos should be one continuous take. You may not restartthe assessment process once you have begun with a child. You may notedit your video in any way to make it appear that you made fewermistakes than you made.

Note on administrations

Page 10: Theory and Practice of Cognitive Assessment and Practice of Cognitive Assessment Fall 2016 Syllabus ... and a critical appraisal ... You will demonstrate competency in the administration

http://my.ilstu.edu/~wjschne/PD1/PD1SyllabusFA2016.html 10/22

For the practice administrations, live administrations, and the videoadministrations, you must meet with the instructor if you fail to pass anassignment twice in a row. No assignment may be submitted more than 6times. Failure to pass after the 6th attempt will result in having to repeatthe course. Before the 6th and final attempt, you must meet with theinstructor.

Test Interpretation and Report Writing

1. Teams of 3–4 students will be given a hypothetical case history of aperson referred to you. You must decide which tests you would giveto answer the referral questions. You will email your initial list oftests that you would give. I will send back some hypothetical scores.You will then email me back which tests you would give, if any, tofollow up on any new questions you might want to answer. We willexchange back and forth until you believe that you have a good caseconceptualization. You will submit a brief (1 page or less)conceptualization. After the conceptualization is deemedsatisfactory, you will make an appointment for a 2-hour meeting withme to write up the report together. The team will present the reportin class for discussion. This assignment will be graded on a pass/failbasis.

2. Individually, you will be given a hypothetical case. We will emailtests and scores back and forth as described above until you believethat you can write up the report (to be completed independently).The reports will be graded on the soundness of your reasoning andthe quality (clarity, grammar, etc.) of your writing. The reports willbe graded during a 1 hour appointment you will make with me.

Grading Procedure

All pass/fail assignments must be passed to receive a grade in the course.With instructor permission, failed assignments may be attempted again.

Assignment Points Criteria
