Written Assignment (Assessment methods and using tests)
Assignment Overview: This week’s written assignment will focus on creating test questions.
Deliverables and Due Dates: Upload your paper by Sunday night at 11:59 pm Mountain Time.
Assignment Details: Assume you are presenting a 1-2 hour class/lecture on a topic of your choice to be given to a group of nurses or senior level nursing students. The topic must be related to nursing care. In an opening paragraph, provide a description of the content to be covered. Write 3 learning objectives reflecting Blooms taxonomy at the “applying” level or above based on what you want the students to know/be able to do at the end of the class session (number them 1-3). Select your verbs carefully. Be sure you are writing application oriented questions or above.
Write 3 multiple-choice questions, 2 multiple answer/select questions, and one short essay question that measure these objectives. Number them 1-6. These should be questions that you write yourself, not questions you find somewhere. Use your textbooks and/or other sources to learn best practices for test writing. Highlight the answers (you do not have to answer the essay question).
Consider the following as you write your test questions because you will be plugging this information into your test blueprint.
