Maha Hassan - 'Are you a fair tester?'

7 December 2019, 3pm 

Supervisors and teachers worry a lot when setting exams. Are we going to be fair towards the students? Should tests be difficult or easy? What is the best way to set them?

Testing not only worries supervisors and teachers but students as well. Will I be able to pass it? I can't concentrate on my studies, what should I do?

Is there a relationship between Assessment and Testing? Can this help both teachers and students in dealing with test stress?

In this presentation, Maha will speak about the common elements between Assessment and Testing. She will look at how teachers can put a suitable Formative Assessment system in place for their students throughout the year to help them go through Summative Assessment at the end of the year as smoothly as possible. She will also speak about online and offline tools that can help supervisors and teachers set well balanced exams and help them apply them practically during the session.
