• Effects of instructor gender and ethnicity on FCQ ratings given by students - October 2002
  We did a study to look for possible effects of instructor gender and ethnicity on FCQ ratings across three academic years (fall 1999 through spring 2002), after statistically controlling the effects of class level (graduate vs. undergraduate), size, and department.
  
  
• Testing two new response formats on the FCQ - January 2000
  The current FCQ response scale, a 5-point, A-B-C-D-F format, may not be optimum for a couple of reasons: Using the same scale as classroom grades may create an undesirable and spurious linkage, and 5 response points may not be enough for good discrimination given that ratings tend to bunch at the high end. Consequently we tested two alternative formats, a 1-5 numeric scale and a 1-7 scale, in the fall of 1999.

• Results of survey on use of e-mail and web in UCB courses - Spring 1999
  Four questions concerning the degree of Web and e-mail use, and their effects on learning in the course, were added to the FCQ for the spring 1999 term.
