Chapter Six of Fair Isn’t Always Equal was about designing tests and test questions that will most reflect students’ learning. It’s very refreshing to read that teachers are now keeping an active eye out for confusing negatives or “trick” questions. If I had read that as a student, I wouldn’t have believed it – it seemed like those things were the only prerequisites for a test. Everything in this chapter sounded great for my class – I’m glad there’s so much innovation in crafting test questions. I’ve often found myself stuck coming up with ideas for what I will write for tests (when I have a class).
The section that I’ve seen the most in classes, and that I most anticipate, was putting fun into test questions. Especially painful puns are my specialty, and that’s going to make these tests easier for both me and the students (I hope!).
