<p>Recently, in working with a company to improve their smile sheet, a first draft included the so-called World’s Best Smile Sheet Question. But they were thinking of piloting the new smile sheet for a course to teach basic electronics to facilities professionals. Given the topic and audience, I recommended a simpler version:</p> <p style="padding-left: 30px;"><strong>How able will you be to put what you’ve learned into practice on the job?&nbsp; Choose one.</strong></p> <p style="padding-left: 30px;">A. I am NOT AT ALL ready to use the skills taught.<br> B. I need MORE GUIDANCE to be GOOD at using these skills<br> C. I need MORE EXPERIENCE to be GOOD at using these skills.<br> D. I am FULLY COMPETENT in using these skills.<br> E. I am CAPABLE at an EXPERT LEVEL in using these skills.</p> <p>This version nicely balances precision with word count.</p>
