Food Attitudes Behavior Openness Scale (FABOS)

This is a 29-item survey instrument, using a 5-point Likert scale. This assessment instrument is perhaps best used as a discussion starter; since some food preferences are linked to medical or religious values and are thus unlikely to change.

Global Engagement Survey

This is "a multi-institutional assessment tool that employs quantitative and qualitative methods to better understand relationships among program variables and student learning, in respect to global learning goals identified by the Association of American Colleges and Universities (AAC&U, 2014), with adaptations particularly relevant to community-engaged global learning. The GES therefore considers global learning in respect to the three components of global citizenship, cultural humility, and critical reflection" (GLOBALSL).
