Mod 1 (Physical Sci) Pretest errata
As someone who is familiar with the way students misread questions, I have a small problem with the Physical Science Pretest questions #6 and #9. Knowing Oceanography 101 content, I have a problem with the wording of the best answer for question #2. Question #4 simply does not include a correct answer.

Hi Dan. I went back and looked at the survey, specifically at the questions you pointed out. These questions go through a pretty extensive creation and editing process, and it's always a bit shocking to look at them with fresh eyes and see what we did not notice before. We are piloting these questions for the curriculum, so, the ones you pointed out will be modified or eliminated for the "final" version. On a related note, we have even noticed that teacher pre/post content questions have errors - and that is after 2+ years of revision by many people! It's a little frustrating - but the final product will hopefully be great, and we won't use any "problem" quesitons in our analyses. Thanks for the comment and notice.
