1995-96 ASSESSMENT
The number of students whose research projects that are of sufficient quality to be presented at a regional conference and/or published has steadily increased. 1991-4 papers; 1992-5 papers; 1993-9 papers; 1994-14 papers, 1995 - 17 papers. In 1996, 16 students presented papers in the Spring at either the Great Plains Psychology Student's Conference or the Rocky Mountain Psychological Association conference. This Fall, nine students are scheduled to present papers at the joint conference of the Nebraska Psychological Society and the Association for Psychological and Educational Research in Kansas. In 1995-96, six of our students have published their research in journals.

In addition, three students currently have papers submitted to the Journal of Psychological Inquiry. This suggests to us that our instruction is stimulating critical, scientific thinking by our students.

The number of students whose research projects that are of sufficient quality to be presented at a regional conference and/or published has steadily increased. 1991-4 papers; 1992-5 papers; 1993-9 papers; 1994-14 papers. This suggests to us that our instruction is stimulating high-quality critical scientific thinking in our students.
