| Description |
"Course-specific Interest/Knowledge/Skills Checklists are brief, teacher-made versions of the commercial interest and skills inventories long used by guidance and career counselors. Teachers create checklists of topics covered in their courses and skills strengthened by or required for succeeding in those courses. Students rate their interest in the various topics, and assess their levels of skill or knowledge in those topics, by indicating the appropriate responses on the checklist."

| Purpose | "These checklists inform teachers of their students’ level of interest in course topics and their assessment of the skills and knowledge needed for and/or developed through the course. With such information, teachers can better plan and adjust their teaching agendas. They can plan how to approach topics about which students indicated particularly high or low interest. They can also adjust their syllabi to take into account the students’ knowledge and skill levels. This CAT helps learners more realistically assess their interest in and preparation for the course. These twofold responses can provide teachers and learners with more useful insights than a more general interest inventory might." — Classroom Assessment Techniques, Angelo, TA and Cross, KP, 1993 |
