Designing Effective Assessments: Building Better Exams and Questions
Facilitator: Dr. Kurt Engleka, Cell and Developmental Biology
Convener: Lance Murphy, CETLI Graduate Fellow, Immunology
This workshop explores best practices for designing high-quality assessments that accurately measure student learning. Participants will learn how to create clear, fair, and rigorous exam formats, develop effective question types, and align assessments with learning objectives. Practical strategies and examples will help instructors improve both the validity and reliability of their exams.
All graduate students are welcome. This event grows out of concerns in Immunology, and so may be most useful to students in related fields.
