Assessing the knowledge and skills of students is a task that requires careful planning. What are the criteria you use for selecting a particular testing format and how do you determine how effective the format has been in allowing your students to demonstrate their new knowledge or skill base?
In my multi-media class, I don’t have any test since the projects require students to demonstrate the ability to use the software most effectively. In other classes the test are a combination of multiple choice, SA, and matching to help me cover a large body of information but also require student to prove that they aren’t guessing with the SA questions.
