Student-generated test

Description

As a way of assessing students' knowledge and competencies, the students were asked to create the questions in a modified multiple choice test. Following each question, the students also create an answer and to each answer there must be an explanation to why the answer is correct or not. Hence, the test - and the questions the students pose - should be structured as a formative evaluation method and thereby as a learning resource. By asking the students to generate the questions and explanations for the right answer, the producing of the test questions serve in itself as a learning resource.
