Uses multiple question types
Different students are better at different types of questions. In order to allow all students to demonstrate their abilities, exams should include a variety of question types so that students have multiple ways to achieve marks.
Offer multiple ways to obtain full marks. Exams can be highly stressful and artificial ways to demonstrate knowledge. In recognition of this, you may want to provide questions that allow multiple ways to obtain full marks. For example, ask students to list five of the seven benefits of multiple-choice questions.
Free of bias. Don’t assume your students understand or have viewed the same pop culture, or have been exposed to the same slang as you. Use language that is free from bias and easy to understand by all students.
Demanding. Challenge your students with authentic questions that test their skill, but do not make the test too easy.
Short answer
Short answer questions are typically composed of a brief prompt that demands a written answer that varies in length from one or two words to a few sentences. They are most often used to test basic knowledge of key facts and terms. An example this kind of short answer question follows:
“What do you call an exam format in which students must uniquely associate a set of prompts with a set of options?” Answer: Matching questions
Alternatively, this could be written as a fill-in-the-blank short answer question:
“An exam question in which students must uniquely associate prompts and options is called a
___________ question.” Answer: Matching.
Short answer questions can also be used to test higher thinking skills, including analysis or
evaluation. For example:
“Will you include short answer questions on your next exam? Please justify your decision with
two to three sentences explaining the factors that have influenced your decision.”
