But, students often feel exam stress and pressure in their educational journey which limits them to get new opportunities. By understanding the importance learners can gain various benefits.
Further, we will explore the advantages of exams in students’ lives and how it guides them to be strong enough to reach their desired target.
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.
Easy to understand marking criteria. Have your students received feedback from you on assignments, class discussion, etc., so they know what to expect on the exam? Have you clearly stated to students what is expected of them on the exam?
Accessible. For students with physical or learning disabilities, exams must be amenable to adaptive technologies such as screen readers or screen magnifiers. If you do need to make accommodations for a student in your class, you can do so by contacting the Accessible Learning Centre here at the UofL.
Provide progressive structure. Your exam should open with some easier questions and progressively get more challenging. There are two reasons for this. It allows students to answer a variety of question types, and also allows them to use the exam to build confidence as they move to more challengin questions.
