This study investigated how four assessors implemented an oral assessment when a little direction was provided to the assessors. We focused on the interrater reliability of oral grading and the types of follow-up questions asked. We observed three interaction types during oral assessment: no follow-up, follow-up related to the problem, and follow-up not directly related to the problem. As expected, assessors differed on several aspects of the assessment, including grading standards and follow-up experiences for students. Our findings revealed interrater reliability of oral grading with three-point scale was excellent, but not so much when six-point scale was implemented. Moreover, we …

Engineering Technology Faculty Publications
Significant research has been done on the subject of distance learning (DL) instruction for many academic disciplines. However, when it comes to engineering technology (ET) programs, particularly, engineering laboratory work, limited studies are available. It is unquestionable that engineering laboratory work is essential for the successful preparation of individuals enrolled in ET programs. The focus of ET programs is on the correct use and application of engineering principles with a direct focus on practical application rather than on theory alone. The difficulties increase significantly when laboratories are offered in DL mode, particularly for ET programs. It is well known that …
