At our Multiple-Choice Retreat on May 16, we’ll reveal the answer to this question from Ron Berk’s Test of Testwiseness that has puzzled generations for years. 3M national teaching fellow and multiple-choice expert, Dr. Anthony Marini, will also help you develop your skills in writing and refining multiple-choice questions.
The hands-on retreat will explore a variety of topics, including:
