7A NOTE
ABOUT
ACADEMIC
INTEGRITY
• You will see this at the top of the test:
• In submitting a quiz/test, the expectation is that your conduct during the
assessment adheres to the Code of Behaviour on Academic Matters and
that you have not acted in such a way that would constitute cheating,
misrepresentation, or unfairness, including but not limited to using
unauthorized aids and assistance, impersonating another person, and
committing plagiarism.
• In some ways, this IS an open book test
• It is impossible for us to use surveillance while you write.
• BUT, this test is ISN’T an open book test
• Most students interpret “open book” as meaning there is less
pressure to prepare and that time is plentiful. Don’t rely on this
(false) thinking.
• The questions are designed to reward students who have studied and
not reward students that haven’t studied.
• The test log indicates when you navigate away from the test-taking
page; students who do a lot of this are usually those who run out of
time and are not well-prepared; their answers are absent or
ineffective. Instead, study!
CLOSED-BOOK TEST
• No monitoring software will be used
• Questions are randomly assigned from a test bank of 120 questions
• Chosen from questions for each lecture week
• Answer order randomized
• Questions will be viewed one at a time, no moving back
• You will not be able to submit your final test after 2pm on Friday April 16th
• Test will close automatically: answered questions will be counted
• I will be available all day if you have any questions or concerns during the test
• But not available overnight
8
HOW MULTIPLE-CHOICE QUESTIONS ARE
DESIGNED
• Any test aims to determine what you have learned
• Asking you to recall what you know
• The best questions are based on comprehension (understanding) rather than memorization
• The hardest questions make connections between concepts, and across lectures, to ask you
something you may not have connected during the course
• Range of question difficulty
• Statistics run on Question Effectiveness:
• Measures chances of getting question correct in relation to test mark
• Questions with low measurements will be removed from the test
9
SAMPLE QUESTIONS
• Practice questions with answers
• Pause video to view the question after I read it
• Try to answer the question yourself!
• Subsequent slide explains the logic behind the question
• Sample questions apply to first half of the course (to refresh your memory!)
• The Final Assessment Questions will resemble these kinds of questions

32
STUDY TIPS
• One of the most valuable skills in University is learning how to learn.
• Finding different approaches to studying complex materials.
• You may begin by focusing on memorization, but is not an effective way of understanding (and
your memory can fail you!)
• Research studies on pedagogy have concluded that students who
only memorize test materials will do equally as well on the test
as those who cram all materials the night before.
• The best preparation involves identifying what you
do not know or understand.
33
STUDY TIPS
• Going over concepts, grouping concepts together (Activity Prompts include lists of concepts)
• Identify groupings where questions can be asked
• Finding connections between readings and lectures
• Identify where concepts are repeatedly mentioned, where they can apply to different lectures/readings
• Finding extensions of lecture materials in the readings
• Explaining similarities and differences between concepts
• Where connections belong or don’t belong (in methods)
• Understanding similarities between intersectional topics
• Identify major topics where questions can be asked
34
TIMING & PACE OF STUDYING
• It is important to know the limits of how much you can study in a given time
• Burnout (study fatigue) can have negative impacts on how well you do on the test.
• Take your time, and do a moderate level of studying over the next weeks days.
• It is important to know your limits on what is the optimal amount of time to study.
• You are working within constraints based on your personal life, work life, and the other courses you are
taking this semester.
• Be sure to be aware of what you have the time and ability to do, and try to plan as much time as is
reasonable for you.
35
PERSONAL WELL-BEING
• Your personal well-being is incredibly important
• Your personal well-being matters more than trying to maximize your student obligations
• Your personal well-being can have a negative impact on how you do on the test.
• Student life can be very stressful, and it is important to prioritize yourself. Be sure to get as much sleep as you
can, every night from now until the exam, eat and drink healthily, and allow yourself rests between intense study
periods.
