How do I design effective assessment questions?

To design effective assessment questions, start by defining your learning objectives. What do you want to assess?

I want to assess critical thinking skills in my students.

Great! You can use open-ended questions that require analysis and evaluation. For example, ask them to solve a real-world problem.

Can you give me an example of such a question?

Sure! You could ask, 'How would you approach solving a community issue like homelessness? What factors would you consider?'

That sounds good! How can I ensure the questions are fair?

To ensure fairness, avoid ambiguous language, provide clear instructions, and consider the diverse backgrounds of your students.
