A four-point, post-then-pre Likert scale survey (Rockwell
& Kohn, 1989) was developed and administered to students
in each of the redesigned courses at the end of the fall 2007
semester. The survey asked students to compare their learning
experiences in their current class with other similar college
courses. Areas targeted by the survey included: students’
ability to understand course content; students’ motivation to
complete course assignments and homework; and students’
overall interest in the course content.
