The Critical Thinking Assessment Test (CAT) is being used as a pre- and post-measure of the student's critical thinking ability. Consisting of short answer essay questions that target cognitive skills, including evaluation, synthesis, analysis, application, and comprehension, the CAT is administered to entering freshmen and then again to those who are graduating seniors. Each semester, EKU faculty and staff are invited to serve on a team to score the CAT. Contact Michele.Goltz@eku.edu for more information.
