Assessment Day

CSD Sophomores in 207, 208, 209

Feb 9th, Assessment Day

Each year, JMU sets aside a class day for "Assessment."  CSD uses this day to assess graduating seniors and sophomores in the CSD major.  A student in the CSD major is considered a CSD sophomore if he/she meets both the two following criteria and must participate in CSD assessment.

1) Enrolled in any one of the three courses—CSD 207, 208, and 209 in Spring Semester 2017.
2) Have not taken CSD assessment previously.

Please mark your calendar for the 9th of February 2021, and designate at least 60 minutes between 8:00 am and 11:59 pm to complete the CSD Assessment on Canvas. Instructions on Canvas access for CSD UG Assess are enclosed on the next page of this MEMO.

If you meet the criteria to take the university-wide assessment, you either have received or will receive an email from the Center for Assessment and Research Studies with directions on taking the university-wide assessment. For information on the university-wide assessment, please see the following link: https://www.jmu.edu/assessment/Students/aboutAday.shtml Please direct your questions regarding the university-wide assessment to assessment@jmu.edu.

The CSD Assessment process will consist of two phases:
  • First, you will take a Multiple Choice Test that tests your knowledge on CSD related material;
  • then, you will be asked to complete an attitude towards learning survey relative to your CSD courses.

THIS ASSESSMENT IS REQUIRED FOR ALL CSD SENIORS AND CSD SOPHOMORES in 207, 208, and/or 209.  

The CSD faculty would appreciate it if you approach this day with a positive attitude.  Our Department values your involvement in this critical process.

Graduate Student Spotlight- Noelle [SPRING2021]

  Once again we have a Graduate Student Spotlight for Audiology!!! Noelle is a first year AuD student. Hi everyone! My name is Noelle Steele and I am from Pottsville, Pennsylvania. I am a first-year graduate student in JMU’s Doctor of Audiology program. I graduated from Marywood University in May of 2020 with my B.S. in Communication Sciences and Disorders. My journey to graduate school is a bit unique because I finished my undergraduate degree in just three years. I started in a 5-year speech pathology program (3 + 2 program) and decided to opt out of my master’s in speech pathology to pursue audiology instead. During my undergraduate career, I spent my time assisting and teaching in daycares both on campus and at home. This allowed me to work very closely with children and thus, I learned how to quickly build rapport with them. I worked as an early learner instructor for preschool age children at Kumon Math and Reading Center in Clarks Summit, Pennsylvania, which is an after-scho...

Johnny Depp: Actor, Musician, and....Hearing aid fitter?

At a music festival in Rio de Janeiro, Johnny Depp and his Hollywood Vampire band mates, Alice Cooper and Joe Perry, delivered more than just the gift of music; they also gave the gift of sound. The artists along with the Starkey Hearing Foundation helped fit customized hearing devices for over two hundred people while on tour. The people who received the devices varied in age, and their hearing losses varied from developmental to acquired. The musicians described the experience as moving, and the clients they served were delighted with their new devices. The Starkey Hearing Foundation holds events all over the world in order to give hearing aids to those in need. They've donated 1.6 million hearing aids to people in over 100 countries. There are many humanitarian foundations that deliver hearing devices to individuals in third world countries. One of our very own professors, Dr. Ryals, worked towards a cause similar to this in Kenya with HEARt of the Village, a non-profit grou...
