Consider the following before you start developing assessment questions:

• How many questions will you aim for in each chapter?
• What question types best suit your material?
• What key terms are essential for students to memorize before they can use them in analysis and application?
• In what situations would you expect students to encounter the concepts in practice?

Consider the following when reviewing your assessment questions:

• Could students guess any correct answers based on complexity and/or plausibility?
  • Are all incorrect answers plausible?
  • Are the answer choices for each question similar in length?
  • Do all answer choices respond to the question stem with grammatical correctness?
• Could students guess any correct answers after reading related questions?
• Do any questions rely on correct answers to previous questions?
• Are all answer choices structured to support effective randomization?
• Are true/false questions used sparingly?
• Are fill-in-the-blank items limited to one item per question?
• Do fill-in-the-blank items include multiple variations of potential acceptable answers?
• Does any question feedback give away the answers to any other questions?
