I felt the laboratory exams fairly represented the material I learned in ANTR 355
One minute was sufficient to answer each question on the individual lab exam

Our group refrained from discussion with other groups during the exam
Every group member “pulled their weight” (contributed to the learning process)
The level of discussion during group testing was high
My level of involvement during the discussions was high
When I was confident in an answer, it was difficult to convince my group that it was correct
When I disagreed with group members, I was receptive to their opinions
Unanimity was reached on all questions
The group testing format created tension within the group
I appreciated the immediate feedback afforded by group testing
The group testing format transformed the capstone from an assessment to a learning experience
