Cou 630 Assessment Report: Draft Two Guidelines And Rubric

Cou 630 Assessment Report Draft Two Guidelines And Rubricin Your First

In your first draft of the Assessment Report, you address the introduction, assessment review, and assessment administration. You will now build on that draft with your assessment scoring, assessment results interpretation, recommendations, and conclusion. You are using the same results you received from your partner for your first draft as you complete this second draft. As part of your Assessment Results Interpretation, you will again explore validity and reliability. When considering validity and reliability of the instruments, together, often what you are looking for is how well the instruments predict suitability for a career. Typically, the results will match up the individuals’ interests and personality with a potential career path.

Refer to the COU 630 Final Project I Outline (located in the Assignment Guideline and Rubric section within Start Here) to help structure your project.
