Actually, this might be of more general interest to list members. Many of
us are struggling with outcomes assessment, and I suspect many folks have
as an objective of their program, in some form or other, a change in
knowledge of and attitudes toward the scientific method. Might be nice to
find out about new ways of assessing those attitudes.
