The resulting conceptual model and globalcompetency measures will be useful toward larger scale inquiries to evaluate how participationin study abroad programs, international experiences, culturally-relevant curricula, and otherrelated activities can contribute to changes in students’ ability to work in diverse environments.The Miville-Guzman Universality-Diversity Scale short form (MGUDS-S) measures the“universe-diverse orientation” construct, which “reflects an attitude of awareness of both thesimilarities and differences that exist among people”2.

at a private, research I universitycompleted surveys asking about their perceptions of norm-referenced exams with means in the 20’svs. those with means in the 60’s.The results overwhelmingly show that students found exams with means in the 20’s—but not thosewith means in the 60’s—discouraging and as evidence of bad and uncaring teaching. Studentsreceiving an “A” for exam scores in the 30’s were unlikely to feel proud of their accomplishment andwere highly unlikely to feel that they had learned what the instructor expected. These same students,however, did feel proud when an “A” was based upon an exam score in the 80’s. Students were alsomore likely to consider cheating and were less motivated to study when the median score was in the20
