Description
Multiple choice questions (MCQ) are a staple of assessment in Health Professions Education. However, writing MCQs can be a difficult time-consuming process. During this interactive 2-part series, participants will learn the steps that are involved in writing effective multiple-choice questions including aligning questions with clearly written learning objectives and determining the level of learning examined by individual questions. Participants will also get an opportunity to practice writing and get feedback on MCQs.
After this workshop participants will be able to:
- describe the components of a well-written multiple-choice question
- discuss test wiseness and the limitations of poorly written questions
- write effective multiple-choice questions
For those interested in the Assessment in Health Professions Education Endorsement, completion of both MCQ Workshops I and II are required to fulfill the elective. You may register for session II here
