Thursday, March 1

Today has been a LONG day, but this class was pretty interesting! We went into a lot of detail about how to create a test. This is the kind of stuff I've been expecting us to talk about all along, so it was neat to have finally reached this point. We talked in depth about ensuring that the test has validity and different factors that could impair test validity. I had never really considered the importance of ensuring test validity nor the factors that go into it. We went over the difficulty level and the discrimination index as well, but I was nodding off a little and decided to be sure that I looked over this later. Near the end of class we got into our content area groups to talk about project 2. I think we have a good group! We'll meet for the first time on Tuesday so we shall see how everything goes.
