Clear, excellent application lesson.


Easy to listen to, very orderly -a little more background on CAHPS would be good-straight forward presentation;
easy to understand what they did -missed point of why - how much did different culture matter.
I felt that Dr. Hays had to rush through his presentation in order to make room for the next speaker. The study was
interesting about how the CAHPS was adopted for the AM Indian population; especially about the CBPR process;
though it wasn't entirely relevant for this program. Nevertheless he gave a good picture of what's involved in the
process and an example of how to adapt an existing instrument to a diverse population.
These real-world examples are very helpful
Very practical application.
Website info very helpful. Concise & helpful.
Would have been helpful to have more slides as much of the information was not in the handouts. The SEM was a
bit over my head.
Would have like to see more examples but overall did well.

Dr. Hays did an excellent job of summarizing the main parts of Dr. Templin's and Teresi's talk. He also gave valuable
and practical advice on where to start analysis before jumping to sophisticated IRT and DIF.
Good summary and raised interesting points
I liked how he brought the two previous presentations together. Very clear to understand.
Not an area of my interest; but the speaker was well informed.
This brought the prior into a realm that was within my knowledge level.
Too short!
Very short - almost seemed like a space/time filler. Interesting but not in depth.
