It is a pleasure to be here today to speak about "measurement".

 

By "measurement", I mean to refer to the use of tests and surveys to collect information from people.

 

Very often, especially when tests are involved, the "people" are students.

 

I will assume, and try to remember, that English may not be your first language. I will speak slowly and hope that you can understand me. If I see you falling asleep then I will speak faster and louder.

 

I also speak Spanish and sometimes tend to use Spanish when counting or referring to numbers. (This is a mistake but I customarily count in Spanish and often forget to switch to English.)

 

Please keep me from going too fast. 

 

Raise your hand if you have a question. I will try to remember to pause from time to time to ask if you might have questions.
