We Need Freshmen!
About the Information Skills Assessment (iSkills)
Loyola Marymount University is conducting a large-scale assessment of information competence skills and knowledge among LMU students. In this assessment we wish to learn about the information-seeking methods known and used by students. Only aggregate, anonymous results will be reported and used. Your individual responses and your identity will be kept strictly confidential.
Last spring we tested 55 seniors. This fall we will test 100 freshmen. (September 17th-October 1st) The purpose is to compare results and analyze how seniors learn advanced information skills during their four years at LMU. As part of the assessment group you will complete an online assessment in an E-classroom in University Hall, UH 3212. This process will last about 90 minutes, and you will be compensated for your participation.
All participants will receive a $20 gift card from Target after completing the Information Skills Assessment.
One student in the group of 100 will be chosen through a drawing to receive a $300 gift card of your choice. Options include the Apple Store, Best Buy, Borders, or Ralph's. This drawing will take place after all assessment sessions have been completed.
