constructing exams that target the learning we want for our students can be a challenge. many of us turn to multiple choice items to create versatile, reliable, and efficient measures of our students\u2019 learning. to maximize the benefit of multiple choice items on exams, we have to make sure that test items target our particular learning objectives\u2014and avoid constructions that tip off the \u201ctest-wise\u201d or introduce difficulty\u00a0 that is unrelated to the learning goals. in this workshop, we will consider good practice in constructing multiple choice items and will practice revising items to target particular learning goals. participants are invited to bring their own multiple choice items to workshop.<\/p>\n

students at vanderbilt experience a variety of stresses\u2014academic, identity-based, interpersonal, and more.\u00a0 we are not therapists, but we do teach whole human beings who bring these anxieties to their coursework and the classroom. in this workshop, participants will learn simple, classroom-appropriate strategies that can minimize these emotions that interfere with student learning.\u00a0 for example, framing high-stakes tasks just a little differently can redirect this stress and free up students\u2019 mental capacity to do their best.\u00a0 participants will select and prepare the strategies most applicable to their courses. resources for more serious situations will be provided, but the workshop will focus on activities most relevant to learning and to the classroom.<\/p>\n
