FIAE Chapter 6: Creating Good Test Questions

This section was one of the best sections so far because I really enjoyed looking through all of the examples and seeing the different ways that I can improve my tests for my students. Some of those were giving lots of small quizzes in between tests, changing the vocabulary of questions so they aren’t stuck in the same format and giving feedback as soon as possible. One of the formats that really stuck out at me was the use of many quizzes in between the big tests. This has always been a very important way for me to focus on whether I have truly mastered the required information or if I needed to go back and fix my misconceptions. Quizzes do not have to be long nor do they have to be difficult. Giving the students feedback will allow them to adjust the focus of their studying. Using quizzes will also give me feedback on how the students are doing and what needs to be worked on for a little bit longer on what the students have mastered.
