| Dos and don'ts for writing multiple-choice items |

| Facilitator: |
Professor Carmel McNaught, Centre for Learning Enhancement And Research
|
| Detail: |
Objective
testing (e.g. with multiple-choice items) can have several advantages
in the right situation. In this seminar we will examine the situations
where students can benefit from the use of objective tests. However,
if the test items are at a very low level or poorly constructed, the
testing process can be detrimental to learning. Unfortunately, many
objective tests are weakly constructed; this is true at CUHK and elsewhere.
Most of the seminar will focus on the 'rules' for constructing valid
objective test items. Participants will critique a number of examples
in order to gain practice in writing effective multiple-choice items.
