Testing yourself is a helpful way to study, according to Dr. Anne Cleary, an expert in science of learning in CSU’s Biology Department. This short video on the Science of Learning gives you ideas for how to incorporate this in studying: https://youtu.be/zwcxv61zqRI?si=u1TXBimtdCOW8Qux
There are many different styles and types of assessment questions. One popular classification for types of test questions is called Bloom's TaxonomyLinks to an external site.. Bloom's Taxonomy groups questions based on goals (see figure below).
For example, a question that asks a student to identify which stage of mitosis includes the lining up of chromosomes along the midline of the cell tests your ability to remember, or recall, information (bottom of the pyramid). Whereas, a question that ask you to write quiz questions (like this!) is aimed at testing your ability to use knowledge to generate new materials, or create (top of the pyramid). These "higher-level" questions are helpful for reinforcing your understanding of complicated concepts, like genetics!
Write THREE quiz questions about the GENETICS content in your pre-lab assignment (i.e. alleles, genes, genotype,
For EACH of your 3 questions, be sure to include the following:
1. Answer key or example answer to the question
2. Which Bloom's Taxonomy classification/objective the question falls under
