Fagan, Jody Condit

Research Strategies, v18 n2 p121-32 2002

This article outlines the advantages and disadvantages of various question types in tests for library classes, including selected-response, constructed-response and alternative-response test items. It examines a test case in which students in a for-credit library course were given a take home quiz with search story problems. Sample "search story" problems and answers are appended. (Author/AEF)
