Method
Participants Participants in this study include 26 students at a private school in northern New Jersey. Participants include 18 female students and 8 male students. All participants in this study are volunteers. Students were recruited by their homeroom teachers, who announced that there were sign-up forms in the office for volunteers.

Materials Surveys were used as a method to gather information from the students. Short questions and prompts were also incorporated into the surveys in order to achieve more specific results. Although most participants do not enjoy answering short questions added on to surveys, the responses need not be longer than a sentence. The short questions were simple and relating to what was learning during the scope of the class. Students will be asked whether they believe learning outcomes were achieved with the types of assessment conducted throughout the course. The survey was a Likert rating scale in which participants were asked to choose the number along the scale that best corresponds with their preferences. The purpose of the study was to pinpoint levels of satisfaction and learning outcomes.

Design and Procedure Participants were told that the study was designed to explore the relationship between learning outcomes and student success. The participants were fully informed about the confidentiality of their responses. As the participants arrived they were first asked to sign two informed consent forms. One consent form was to be taken by the participants and the other was to remain with the research. The participants were asked to read the directions of the survey carefully and answer them to the best of their abilities. The participants were also asked to answer the short questions and not leave them blank. After the surveys were completed and handed in, the participants were told more about the assessment process. The participants were also asked if they had any questions regarding the study and thanked for their cooperation in assisting the study.
