IN MIXED COMPANY9theditionTEST BANKThis TestBank has now grown to almost600questions, about evenly divided between multiple-choice and true-false.In addition,sample examsfor the movies“Twelve Angry Men”and“TheDream Team”pushthe totalnumber ofTest Bank questions to almost700.Please note thatmultiple-choice questions at the beginning of themainset are all single answer questions; thoseat the end of the set are multiple answer questions. Traditionally,multiple-choice questions haveonly a single right answer, so the bulk of this Test Bank is composed of single-answer multiple-choice questions.Why allow more than one answer to be correct onsomemultiple-choice questions?There are at least two reasons cited earlier but repeated here in case youoverlooked the previous rationalein the Instructors Manual:1.Departing from the standard single-response to a multiple-choice questionrequires precise knowledge from students. Guessing is minimized. In thestandard format, a student doesn’t need to read all the answers once thecorrect answer is ascertained. If they know “a” is correct, why read anyfurther? No critical thought need be exercised concerning answers b, c,and d. Thus, these answers become mere filler.2.Most importantly, students receive credit for everything they do know. Inthe standard single-answer format, a student might know that answers “a”and “b” are incorrect but be uncertain whether “c” or “d” is correct. If thestudent answers “c” but “d” is correct, he or she loses all points for thatquestion. The multiple-response format in which more than one answer maybe correct gives credit for everything students know (wrong answers leftunselected or correct answers circled).Simply put, the multiple-response version of multiple-choice questions seems more precise,challenging, and fair than the standard single-answer only version. Nevertheless, if instructorsstill prefer the standard format, test questions included in the test bank can be rewritten to allowonly a single correct answer, or questions with only a single correct answer already included inthe test bank can be chosen for the exam.Another possible variation some may wish to try is requiring explanations for all FALSEanswers on true-false questions. (There is no point in asking for an explanation of true answers).If you choose this option, you may want to wait until the second examto implement it. Thispermits students to get used to the examination format, especially if you choose cooperativetesting.
