THE MONTILLATION AND USES OF TRAXOLINE It is very important to learn about traxoline. Traxoline is a new form of zionter. It is montilled in Ceristanna. The Ceristannians found that they could gristerlate large amounts of fervon and then bracter it to quasel traxoline. This new, more efficient bracterillation process has the potential to make traxoline of the most useful products within the molecular family of lukizes snezlaus. Adapted from Koch, 2009.

Consider Is there any data from research papers or other sources that could be used in crafting an introductory course assessment question in your discipline?

Multiple T/F Question Stem: a) T/F Statement b) T/F Statement c) T/F Statement d) T/F Statement Multiple Choice Question Stem: a) Statement b) Statement c) Statement d) Statement Benefits: - Detects students with correct and incorrect ideas, “mixed models” (Nehm & Reilly, 2007) - More equivalent to free response item difficulties. (Kubinger & Gottschall, 2007) - Allows greater flexibility in question design. Slide courtesy of Jenny Knight, University of Colorado, Boulder
