For any Faculty Coaches who may be completing a ML course outside of the CEE Faculty Development Program (separately through a MaxKnowledge enrollment key for example), those courses will also soon have a special challenge quiz area, plus new questions for the final quiz.

Thanks guys for your comments! We have received a lot of valuable feedback about the final quiz scenarios in the ML (Management and Leadership) courses. We know that these courses are full of relevant comment and the scenarios are real-world in concept, yet the scenarios are subject to perception and value judgment.

 

I am pleased to announce that the ML courses in the CEE program have affected a new development. The previous final quiz, scenario-based questions are now included elsewhere in each course as a Challenge quiz (used as a Learning Tool), and the final quizzes are now populated with new questions. They are still challenging, of course, but provide the opportunity for direct reflection and successful completion.

There should be no difficulty in aligning final exams with course material. If your courses have effectively written objectives, the questions sghould almost pop right out of the syllabus!

BTW there is nothing wrong with a final exam being a challenge. As long as it is an expected challenge and based on what the students are told through the syllabus that they are supposed to learn.

We give our students a list of the course objectives in the form of a checklist; students and instructor check off the material as it is uncovered. There are no surprises as to what is on the exam, and any given question relates back to the list of objectives.

Good Afternoon, our managers are becoming discouraged with the finals associated to the ML courses. The finals are difficult to align with the course material and are very challenging to complete. We are beginning to discuss the format in hopes of resolving the disconnect. Is anyone already doing this and would you like to share your best practices? Thanks
