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).
