Faculty Lunch and Learn: Designing Pedagogically Sound Assessment Questions to Motivate Student Learning
The Provost’s Office and Teaching and Learning Technologies (TLT) are co-hosting a two-part series, March 5 and 26, focused on designing pedagogically sound assessments and incorporating technology tools to support student learning.
You are encouraged to attend both sessions or select the one that best fits your needs; each contains information that will enhance your teaching toolbox and use of effective tools and strategies for question construction.
Over the series, you will explore ways to:
- Write clear and concise test questions
- Use the “testing effect” to facilitate student learning
- Provide effective feedback to students on the results of assessment
- Ensure that assessments are accessible and fair
- Use familiar tools to achieve assessment goals
Full descriptions and locations for each session are below.
