John and others,
Larry's comments are good ones.
Here is a RAT that I use with workshops on my book about course
design. It too tries to focus on students' understanding of key
concepts and associated terminology.

Learning. We’re excited about the process and I have been fortunate
enough to attend workshops led by Drs. Fink and Michaelson. But.
two questions seem to pop up a lot: “What are the guidelines for
constructing good RATs?” and “What do they look like?”
I’m wondering if any of you would be willing to forward samples to me
that I could share with the (faculty) members of my group.
Obviously, we would keep these confidential.
The members of our group each courses in education, business (accounting
and finance), biochemistry, music history, and communication.
