Hey! I agree with Spkwong. The fact that this is an upper level psychology course does not automatically mean that all students are familiar with the connotations behind certain terms that were used in the questionnaire. Whether or not all students in PSYC305 have high English proficiency, I think it is important to note that English comprehension could have been a factor in the way that some people answered the questionnaire. Better to point out all the possible limitations than to miss one, right?

I think you are all correct. There is nobody in the class with really bad English skills - they wouldn't have been able to get past the LPIs if they did. On the other hand, it makes sense that there are varying levels of english proficiency in this class. As well as being something that might have affected people's responses, it might have been an issue with some of the question development as well.
