Locate a standardized measurement instrument used in your specialization or area of interest
Locate a standardized measurement instrument used in your specialization or area of interest, and then complete an evaluation of the instrument as described below. There are a few different ways to locate a measurement instrument with published psychometrics. (my specialization is athletic administration and education, so any measurement instrument dealing with education or sports will work as long as it is referenced from a peer reviewed scholarly journal.)
Use the information found in the LibGuide in this week’s Resources to locate a test instrument by one of these three methods:
Use the Roadrunner Search to identify a measurement instrument used in a peer-reviewed study you have read, and then use the reference list to find its origin.
Use one of the Library databases listed in the guide to identify a test instrument.
Try searching for a commercially published test or measurement or information about them on the Internet.
The standardized measurement instrument used in the critique must be located from a scholarly source containing validity and reliability information. Use the measurement template below to create a presentation sharing your critique.
Length: 6 slides, not including title and reference slides; each slide should include 150-200 words of speaker notes
References: Include a minimum of 1 reference (cite the source where you located the measurement instrument).
Attached is the template that this assignment has to follow.

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.
Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.
Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.
The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
