Hello,
I have been using TBL in my MBA and EMBA case-based management courses since Sept. 2011. I feel the process leads to more learning and interesting discussions than the previous Harvard type class case discussion process that I followed. After using a typical case discussion approach for the past 30 years, I am very excited with the TBL process.
I am having an extremely difficult time writing good MCQs for the RATs. My questions tend to be too picky and mostly identification. Is there a framework to follow that can provide a systematic approach to writing good MCQs? I don’t seem to be getting better over time. I am aware of the backward design approach for developing RAT questions but am finding it near impossible to implement.
Any guidance would be very much appreciated. For a typical 15 week course, I have 5 RATs (20 MCQs each) for 5 modules covering 100-150 pages /module.
Thanks,
Tony Mento
