The key to developing a valuable assessment is to understand at the outset what you intend to measure from the students.
Assessments should contain elements of the materials that were discussed in class. Not all assessments are the same.
The do's and don't's of the test varieties will help me quite a bit when I administer exams. I like to do a mix, but some questions always seem less robust than others. This will be really nice reference for my future exams, especially the true and false options. I'd like to incorporate more of those.

Also, learning objectives, which were discussed in our beginning lessons, have to be considered when coming up with questions for your test. This is just not an easy task!
In this module I have learned about different tupes of tests and reasons for selecting various methods.
In order to accuratley test for knowledge and compentency of your students you have to know what what it is you WANT to meassure of your students.
