586 Exam 3
Guidelines for Writing the Exam
The exam will be graded based on:
- how well your questions test the knowledge of the student taking
the exam
- how well (in my opinion) you follow the rules given below for
making up good questions and answers.
Rules
- Make up 25 multiple-choice questions with three wrong answers and
one right answer or best answer.
- There are 36 tapes. Construct your question from the physics on the
video tapes from Tape 10 to Tape 42. Do not take more than one
question from each tape. Do not copy questions from your book or any
other book. Do not copy questions from previous years.
- Wrong answers should not be obviously wrong.
- The level of physics tested should be set at the level that you
teach your class. If you don't teach physics, make up the level and
keep the level of science roughly the same.
- Personalize your questions so I know you made them up. Use
situations in your class room or with your family to make up your
questions and answers.
- Include sketches to clarify your problem if necessary.
- No time limit
- Due May 1, 2000 at 11;59 pm.
- Each answer is worth 2 pts. and each question 4 pts. So each
problem is worth 12 pts. Total number of points on exam is 12 x 25 =
274. This will be heck to grade.
- I will read every question and answer very carefully and choose at
least two of the best questions from each of you for the final
exam. Therefore, don't show or discuss with each other your questions
and answers until the final exam has been taken ( May 13).
