measurement problems related to the validity, reliability, and
fairness of scores. This course is relevant for students in
psychology, sociology, education, business, and other social
sciences. | | Athena Title: | Rasch Measurement Theory | | Prerequisite: | ERSH 8610 | Semester Course
Offered: | Offered fall semester every even-numbered year. | | Grading System: | A-F (Traditional) |
| | | Course ID: | ERSH 8800. 3 hours. | | Course Title: | Rasch Measurement Theory for Rating Scales | Course
Description: | Extends the measurement topics introduced in Rasch Measurement
Theory to rating scales. This course specifically addresses the
modeling of rating scale data scored in ordered categories,
such as Likert scales. Problems encountered in rater-mediated
assessments (e.g., writing) that require judgments are also
examined. | | Athena Title: | Rasch Measurement Rating | | Prerequisite: | ERSH 8610 | Semester Course
