This project was supported through the Quality Enhancement Plan at SHSU. We thank Brent Rahlwes, Cheramie Trahan, Samantha Martin, and Kelsey Pearman, outstanding teaching assistants who not only led the case studies during the lab sections associated with the course but also enthusiastically helped improve the material; Joe Hill, for contributing course materials and teaching a section of the class; Tim Tripp, for having taught several sections of the course; Rita Caso, for her sound advice and unwavering support in her capacity as director of the Office of Institutional Research & Assessment at SHSU; and Cory Kohn, Louise Mead, Ross Nehm, and two anonymous reviewers for providing valuable suggestions on an earlier version of this article. All electronic data files (i.e., xlsx and sav) and reports (i.e., pdf) associated with the CAT are stored on a limited-access, secure FTP server administered by the Center for Assessment & Improvement of Learning at TTU. The physical copy of each CAT test has been digitized (pdf) and stored on a limited-access, secure hard drive; all physical tests were then destroyed. The MATE data are stored on a limited-access, secure server administered by the Office of Institutional Effectiveness at SHSU. Approval for this study was granted by the Internal Review Board Committee (#2013-04-7942) of SHSU.
