CRI Assessment & Evaluation Techniques 2

Question 1

Which type of realtime feedback is most useful for helping a reporter student identify speed-related errors during a dictation?

Accepted Answer

Immediate stroke-by-stroke audio playback with transcript comparison

Answer

Immediate playback with transcript comparison lets students correlate specific audio segments with their errors in real time.

Question 2

A CRI wants to evaluate a student's readback accuracy. Which scenario best isolates that specific skill?

Accepted Answer

Asking the student to read back a completed transcript aloud without re-stroking

Answer

Reading back a completed transcript without re-stroking directly tests the student's ability to interpret and orally deliver their own notes.

Question 3

When constructing a dictation rubric for court reporting students, which criterion is LEAST appropriate to include?

Accepted Answer

Subjective opinion of the student's study habits outside class

Answer

Study habits outside class are not directly observable or objectively measurable within a dictation rubric.

Question 4

A student consistently passes 95% takes at 180 wpm but fails cold takes. Which assessment approach best diagnoses this issue?

Accepted Answer

Administer a series of cold takes at varying speeds and analyze error patterns

Answer

Cold takes at varying speeds reveal whether the problem is speed-specific or related to reliance on repeated material.

Question 5

In a CRI context, formative assessment differs from summative assessment primarily in that formative assessment is:

Accepted Answer

Ongoing and intended to guide instruction and student improvement
