TEACHER TRAINING SEMINAR
Preview Seminar 6: Writing exams, using LaTex, our evaluations

*What we learnt from our evaluations
*Write/administer/proctor exams
*Latex template for quizzes and exams

We will review some of the comments made by the graduate students and indicate how we will address many of them. After that, we will begin discussing how to write exams, so think about any questions you may have about that. This will include midterms and quizzes, with many of the techniques adaptable to writing a final exam (when you eventually have to do this, if at all). In addition to this, we will also mention that there is a Latex template available for quizzes, which is adaptable to midterms and other types of exams.

Remember to also bring with you a brief write up of your experience with mid-semester evaluations. You do not have to address the criticisms you received, what changes you are making, etc. Ultimately, that information is for you and you alone. We would like to know what challenges you had with mid-semester evaluations, to what extent you found them useful, and what you want to do differently the next time you administer them.
