Writing Effective Final Exam QuestionsPresenter: Dr. Raj Chaudhury As final exams loom, faculty need a toolbox of questions to ask on final examinations that are both easy to grade (given the compressed timeline) and also probe whether or not students can apply information they have learned throughout the course. In this workshop, participants will engage with sample questions types that Dr. Chaudhury has used in his own classes and in work with faculty from various disciplines. They will also have the chance to think about appropriate questions they can design for their own needs. |
