Planning for digital examination
The foundation of all examinations is the course syllabus, which specifies the content, learning objectives and examination forms for the course.
Before designing an examination, the following should be considered:
- What ability and knowledge are measured with this question?
- Does the question contain a clear and delimited task for the examinee to perform?
- Is the question asked in such a way that it is clear to the examinee what is expected?
- Is the exercise reasonable in relation to the knowledge objectives and the allotted time?
Do you need some help formulating good questions for the home exam?
If you would like to discuss the pros and cons of different examination formats or the formulation of questions to use in your exam, or get in touch with us at the unit for Academic Teaching and Learning.
