The exam period knocks on the door, and - again - it will be a little bit different. Some educators will use the possibility of exams in person, but some prefer to check students' knowledge remotely. We bring advice and tips for teachers on how to best prepare for the online exam period.
As of March 1, the methodological sheet of the RMU Study Department for the organization of teaching in the spring semester of 2021 is in force, which also regulates the subjects and studies completion.
Points to highlight from the sheet above that are important to know:
The basic recommendations for online exams are summarized in the methodological sheet of remote examination and course completion.
Remember that if you choose a written test, it is advisable to change its form accordingly. We recommend adjusting to the so-called "Open Book" examination because questions focused on testing only knowledge are not suitable for online form.
Take a look at the examples of suitable questions formulation, or the instructional text for creating Open Book written exams in knowledge-oriented subjects can help you.
TIP
Get inspired by the experience of other teachers. Read about the benefits of examination in the Open Book format in an interview with Robert Jahoda from the Faculty of Economics and Administration.
