Student Reactions
All the Educational Psychology 401 students (6 sections) were presented the opportunity to participate in this project. Their initial response was positive. They appeared interested in the results not only as students but also as future teachers. Interestingly, the students who will participate in the first in-class exam have anecdotally indicated on their “tickets out the door” and in face-to-face conversations with instructors that they are anxious about the exam. Students participating in sections giving Blackboard exams have expressed minimal concerns.
We are filing a Form D in order to access their reflective thoughts (i.e., tickets out the door).
