Overview
Part 1: Create a question
- Identify a USLO from a current course syllabus and using your notes as your guide, create a multiple-choice test/quiz question. Carefully consider the intended outcomes of the USLO. Think about what you want to ask and then write the stem (question) and the distractors (multiple choice answers).
Here is an example from BIO 1300 Human Anatomy and Physiology II
USLO 6.2 Identify the mechanisms of the innate (non-specific) defenses.
Question: Which cell type is involved in the innate response to destroy abnormal cells in peripheral tissue?
- Natural killer
- Cytotoxic T cells
- B cells
- Plasma cells
Part 2: Morphemic Analysis
- Find a medical term that you were not familiar with and apply morphemic analysis to this word by breaking it down to see if you can make out the meaning. Explain the way that you broke the word down in order to determine its meaning. If you haven't already, check out the video from this week USLO 6.2.
Example: Hyperthyroidism: Hyper - means higher than normal, Thyroid - thyroid gland, Ism - means condition of. When you combine it all together and you get the meaning that Hyperthyroidism is the overactivity of the thyroid gland.
