A Study of the Relation of General Semantics and Creativity

A form which students can use to assess their class experiences was presented. A factor analysis based on evaluations filled out by 1,648 students revealed four factors which measured (a) the quality of the instructors’ presentations, (b) the evaluation process and the student-instructor interactions, (c) the degree to which the students were stimulated and motivated by the instructors, and (d) the clarity of the tests. A further analysis indicated that subscale scores which reflected the factor scores could be developed from the total item pool.
