I'm going to try something new this week. On Monday I'm going to ask my
Intro to I/O students to write some multiple choice test questions and
bring them on Tuesday. I'll talk about some basic concepts of item writing
(e.g. what is a good distracter). Then on Tuesday I'll go over the
questions with the class - we can critique them as items and also review
the subject matter at the same time. Then I plan to actually use the best
questions on the multiple choice final exam (90% of the questions will be
from me and test bank).
Attendance has of course dipped this last week of summer session, I think
this will be a nice value-added for those students who choose to attend.
Anybody ever try this?
