Zusammenfassung:Thirty psychology majors in a Tests and Measurements class and 49 faculty members developed a college-wide course ratings questionnaire. Students collected data from peers and faculty members at each stage of the design process. Following each research activity, class discussions centered on technical and conceptual issues raised by that aspect of the research process. Feedback from the students indicated that this hands-on experience contributed to their satisfaction with the course and that it provided an opportunity to think critically about research. Successful development and general acceptance of the new form were credited to student and faculty participation in designing it.
