Lane,

 

Questions are similar to any objective test, just don't use many that
aren't pretty straight forward.  Remember all student is going off is
the reading assignment. 

 

The RAT term seems to be more popular with my students.  RAP is probably
too touchy feely sounding for many business majors.

        Hi Lane - our questions for the IRAT/GRAT come from the
prereading material.  It is one way the students are held accountable
for the reading.  It is important to make them challenging, but not
tricky.  It is best to steer away from the True/False questions.  These
same questions can be reused on the final.

Thanks, Angie. It seems we would be expecting the students to just read
the material carefully, not understand that which is difficult or
remember that which has to be memorized... since the topic has yet to be
considered in class. 

I probably should have mentioned that I will be teach human anatomy &
physiology, which has a mix of concepts and minutia (knee bone connected
to the shin bone).
