College Student Experience Questionnaire (CSEQ)
Beginning in fiscal year 2007, half of the students took the critical thinking modules of the CAAP test combined with the CSEQ, and the remaining half took the Measurement of Academic Proficiency and Performance (MAPP). This created more equity in the time commitment for students taking the 40-minute CAAP and the 30-minute CSEQ with those taking just the 120-minute MAPP.
For the 2007-8 academic year, half of the juniors took the CAAP modules for scientific and quantitative reasoning (N=575), while the other half (N=649) took a quantitative/scientific reasoning instrument designed by the assessment faculty and staff at James Madison University, Virginia. This was part of a larger NSF research grant hosted by JMU investigating the efficacy of use of their instrument over a wide range of institutions with varying mission statements. Included in the study were JMU, Truman State University, Michigan State University (East Lansing, MI), St. Mary’s University (San Antonio, TX) and Virginia State University (Petersburg, VA).
