Pre- and post-tests

[Kathleen]

Does anyone have a pre- and post-test that they would be willing to share to be used in a FIrst Year Experiene course?

[Melinda Ampthor]

I also would be very interested in this. Anyone have any ideas? I have ten sections (250 students) that I would really like to capture the impact from the SQ this Fall.

I have not gotten any response so far, hope someone will do so soon!

Kathleen,

I teach a Learning & Motivation class at Simpson University and use the StrengthQuest Assessment and results to helps students discover a new approah to academics and their life. By knowing their strengths and how to use them in academics, they begin to understand how to approach their studies and their careers. I also have them assess the type of learners they are and determine a better method of studying based on their discoveries. Just this last week I had several students who will be graduating this spring approach me to tell me how StrengthQuest changed their lives. I do use the leaders manual and incorporate the suggested activities throughout my course. Strengthquest topics become part of our classroom interaction and personal application. One of the majors ways I have them use StrengthQuest results is to have them try to learn something in a 4 week period, using their strengths and their preferred learning style. Then they are to try to teach it to someone else. What is amazing is how they soon see themselves, their classmates and those they work and play with in a much more positive light! It is very exciting! Hope this helps! Sorry I am so late with this answer.
