Session 1275 Using Computer Spreadsheets to Assess Teaching Performance and Testing Effectiveness Craig T. Evers Purdue University - School of TechnologyABSTRACTThe traditional grade book can tell you how the students are doing in a given class. With theadvent of computers and spreadsheet software, it is possible for teachers to also grade the testsand their own performance. Using Microsoft Excel, a spreadsheet has been constructed fromwhich indicators of the testing effectiveness can be extracted. It is also possible to determinehow well the teacher is doing

Freshman and transfer students in the ASTcurriculum were surveyed using the ILS in the fall of 2002. Similarly, freshman and transferstudents in the AE curriculum were surveyed during fall 2000 and 2002. One class consisting ofupper level students was surveyed during fall 2003. The results of the ILS were aggregated andanalyzed. JMP software (The SAS Institute Inc, Cary, N.C.) was used to determine if statisticaldifferences existed between courses in any of the learning style dimensions and to determinewhich of the learning styles had mean scores that were significantly different than zero.Midterm SurveyAt mid-term of
