From: Marjorie L. Dorimé-Williams, Director of Academic Assessment
Do you use multiple choice tests in your courses or for assessment? If so, how do they stack up in terms of effectiveness? Multiple choice tests are one form of assessment, but often they barely scrape the surface of students' understanding, only measuring memorization skills. If written effectively however, multiple-choice tests can successfully assess higher order thinking skills.
We invite members of the faculty and staff to attend a webinar on using multiple choice tests to assess different levels of learning. Participants will learn how to evaluate appropriate uses of multiple choice tests and determine when they are most effective. Participants also will be presented with the best guidelines for developing multiple choice items, as well as how to develop exams that evaluate learning beyond simply recalling facts.
The webinar will be held on Wednesday, March 19, 3:00-4:30pm in 135 E. 22nd Street, Room 301.
