Rapport is often established with clients prior to psychological testing to facilitate self-disclosure and ease anxiety. Test administrators need to find ways to build rapport with clients prior to online tests. The present study examined whether asynchronous rapport, a positive relationship established without real-time interaction, could form between an online test administrator and participants.

Providing written feedback is common practice in education. This study explores how feedback practices influence applied level mathematics students' perceptions of assessment.

An adaptation of the Instructional Feedback Orientation Scale (IFOS) (King et al., 2009) was used to measure changes in students' orientations towards feedback during the course of a semester in a classroom where research-based feedback practices were implemented. Statistical analysis did not reveal significant changes of student perceptions of assessments. One-on-one interviews revealed that recommended feedback practices, while perceived as useful by students, did …
