Running it, start to finish
- State the objective and list the exact examples used in teaching.
- Verify section 4 flagged nothing before using the assessment.
- After marking, read the distractor pattern to decide what to reteach.
What you get back
The output this produces, every time.
- Defines what understanding looks like before writing a single item.
- Checks each item uses a case not covered in teaching, catching recall questions disguised as application.
- Makes every distractor diagnose a specific misconception rather than being merely wrong.
Getting better results
Where this usually goes wrong, and how to avoid it.
- List the exact taught examples. Section 4 depends on it entirely. Without them the novelty check cannot run and the assessment quietly measures revision.
- Include the boundary items. Asking where a concept does NOT apply is the single strongest discriminator, and it is the type most often omitted.
- Use the distractor diagnoses. when marking. Which wrong answer a class chose tells you what to reteach; a raw score does not.
