We are specifically focusing onthe assessment of entrepreneur-based projects and programs by participating NCIIA members.The database will allow NCIIA participants to: access web-based instruments, obtain guidance onhow to conduct an assessment, and learn about assessment/evaluation practices in academicentrepreneurship programs.As an initial effort, current and past NCIIA participants were surveyed to determine the variety ofassessments they have conducted on E-teams as well as any long-term impact that the "E

While the students had some rudimentary knowledge of the timeperiod, they were challenged to gain and retain new information so that it could be used later inthe trip to answer the public’s questions. Also, through practice, the students gained anintellectual understanding of team operations, leadership, entrepreneurship, navigation,watercraft skills, camping/outdoor skills, time management, design, fabrication, andenvironmental issues.The students were challenged emotionally in three distinct ways.

To establishbaseline data for intercultural development over the year abroad, we will specifically focus onthe impact of curricular interventions on students’ intercultural development after the course hasbeen established based on best practices in study abroad programming.

For systems that can’t handle them, it is notpleasant to design a workaround. Our workaround was to (1) create separate questions forthe automatically and manually graded parts, (2) assign our own numbers (such as 2a and2b) to these questions, and (3) disable the question-scrambling feature of the testing systemto assure that the questions would be juxtaposed on everyone’s exam.
