CAPD Test Assignments

Value: 20% of your grade

Form teams of 2 members each and keep these teams for all of the CAP test assignments

Divide the assigned test role among the two team members (i.e., serve as tester/subject
for equal # of tests)

There are 18 tests assigned with teams of 2, you would be responsible for @ 9 tests in
each category..

For EACH test:

The person assigned to do the testing is the Audiologist
Responsible for setting up audiometer, finding the proper test form (in a
binder in Booth # 3), performing the test correctly, scoring the test/results
according to protocol, and determining if the results are within/outside
normal limits (make test copies if needed prior to test session)
Makes a summary of your reactions to administering the test (including
observations of client behavior) and the testing experience
The person who is the client
Cooperates fully, giving true results
Makes a summary of his/her reactions to the test and the testing
experience
Gives that summary to the tester BEFORE it is due in class
The team submits the due report in a word document (so that Dr. Medwetsky
can make any comments/suggestions in the text of the report) via email to
Dr. Medwetsky. The report will include: (a) all of the information requested in
the rubric; and (b) a scanned copy of the scoring form with the accompanying test
results.
Dr. Medwetsky will score each assignment and return it to the team

Upon completion of all of the assignments, please print out all of the reports (test
observations & corresponding test results, as well as corresponding blank test forms)
and place them into a binder.
Make two copies. That way each of you will have your own binder to refer to in
the future if you were to do CAP testing elsewhere (note that subsequent to
being given back the binders, remove the scored test forms so that you will not
subsequently expose the results to anyone by mistake in the future).

Plan ahead and communicate with each other so this can be a good experience for all!
 CAP Test Reporting Format
You can either enter the information in bulleted form, following the format listed below or
