8:00 Scholars [MUS107A]
2012 Spring Semester
Course Embedded Assessment Question

Dear 8:00 Scholars: Something that we began during the Fall of 2010 and found to be very helpful, was the CEAQ [aka Course Embedded Assessment Question]. It is a sort of summative evaluation - that hopefully enables you to synthesize information gleaned from the semester. We shall continue using the CEAQ this semester. We shall discuss this throughout the course of the semester - but there follows the "basic plan" for the CEAQ. If you have any questions – please give me a shout.
