Dear Carol, You mentioned perhaps giving your students an inventory.
Here is a link to the 10-item Gosling test for the Big 5. https://gosling.psy.utexas.edu/scales-weve-developed/ten-item-personality-measure-tipi/ It has the test, scoring, male and female norms (in means and SDs) and documentation. It is free and open for use. You might be able to make a little class activity out of this. For example, get each person to self-rate themselves on the five traits. Compare this with how they scores on the test. Another site is the free, open access International Personality Item Pool (Goldberg).

I have no materials for the class and very little to go by in terms of grading rubrics. I find that I am expected to evaluate student presentations on various theorists as part of their grade as well as finish off the semester as best I see fit. The former instructor assigned presentations to groups of students and those presentations were to take up the remainder of the semester. I sat in on the past few presentations, but a few were done before I took over--I am trying for consistency, but not sure I can attain it. The problem (at least one problem) is that I have two classes next week that do not have any assigned readings or presentations. In other words, they've gone through the whole darned book and I don't know what to talk to them about. Does anyone have anything they can share with respect to general presentation rubrics (I don't assign group presentations, so I don't have any from other classes), and any activities I might do with the students that would put their knowledge (such as it is) to use? For example, does anyone have an in-class activity that addresses things like personality inventories? I'm completely overwhelmed and at a loss, so any help would be appreciated.
