Writing Better Multiple Choice Questions
Wednesday
1:30pm-4:00pm
Afternoon Mini Workshop
Conveners


Whether because of class size, grading time, or other constraints, sometimes we need to include multiple choice questions in our summative assessments. However, it is often difficult and time-consuming to write "good" questions that reliably assess the knowledge we want them to. In this workshop, attendees will review the Bloom's Taxonomy framework and the literature on multiple choice question design; evaluate (good and bad) example questions from other sources; and we will spend time writing, sharing, and revising our own questions for future use.
