Writing Multiple Choice Questions

Multiple choice questions are a commonly used way of testing our student’s knowledge.  Contrary to popular opinion, a good multiple choice question is hard to write, especially if you want to test higher level thinking.  In this workshop, participants will learn how and when multiple choice questions are best used, the elements of a good multiple choice question, and how to write multiple choice questions that test low-level knowledge and higher-level thinking skills. Participants will write low-level and higher-level multiple choice questions using Bloom’s taxonomy as a guide. Participants should bring three examples of multiple choice questions they have written and their course syllabus.
