Classroom Tests and Quizzes 1- Decide if the following tests meet the criteria for good tests. Explain why they do or do not. A – You will give your class a chapter test of 25 questions. The test was announced during the chapter review for the following day. I don’t think that this test meets the criteria for a good test, because it is too little time for the students to prepare themselves well enough.
B – You eve just decided to give the students a 10-minute test because you ‘ re the substitute teacher and need some time to get things organized before tarring class. It’s not a good idea to give students all minute test as a substitute teacher for any reason. The only time it would be okay is if the actual class teacher gives you the go ahead, otherwise you may just be testing students on the incorrect material or work. C – It’s Wednesday and you ‘eve just finished a reading passage and tell the students they will need to be able to summarize the main points of it in a test on Friday.
This situation is fair, because the students will have enough time to ask any relevant questions about the reading to make sure that they understand it completely and be well prepared for summarizing. D – At the end of the term you will require your class (of 20 students) to answer a 200-question objective test as well as two essay style questions in 300 words (minimum) each. Such situations would meet the criteria for good tests because the students all have an entire term to prepare themselves by practicing with examples of objective tests and appropriate essay.
E – You ask your class to produce a list of 10 words they learned on their own outside of class and use each in a sentence to show their mastery of the word. I think that this is one of the best ways of expanding the vocabulary of all dents, and (even the teacher every once in a while) it is perfect for students to also practice their grammar as well as spelling. All of this allows the students to see their own progress. Therefore, this does meet the criteria. 2 – Create a 10-question gap fill (fill in the blank) exercise based on any topic: vocabulary, grammar, etc.
