Tips for Writing Good Multiple-Choice Questions

I didn’t think the students were taking my course all that seriously, so I decided to use the first exam to show just how substantive the content really was. I wrote long, complicated stems and followed them with multiple answer options and various combinations of them. And it worked. Don’t plan to write the entire test at once. After my first multiple-choice test disaster, a colleague helped me with pointers like these. Despite good advice and a commitment to writing good multiple-choice questions, it is still possible to write the occasional bad one.
