19Speaking in Small Groups
T
he questions for each chapter are organized according to type: true-false, multiple-
choice, short-answer, and essay. Within each of these categories, questions are
clustered by topic, roughly following the order of topics in the textbook.
To provide as much flexibility as possible in constructing examinations, there is
deliberate overlap among the questions, both within and across question types. This
enables you to choose the wording and question type that best fits your testing
objectives. In deciding which questions to use, take care to avoid items such as a
multiple-choice question that gives away the answer to a true-false or short-answer
question, or an essay question that covers essentially the same ground as a true-false,
short-answer, or multiple-choice question.
Each type of question—true-false, multiple-choice, short-answer, and essay—has an
automatic numbering system, which means you can copy and paste items from within a
question type, and they will automatically number themselves consecutively, beginning
with “1.” The five answer choices for each multiple-choice question are also ordered
automatically, and so you can add, change, or reorder answer choices without
rearranging the lettering.
If you would like to preserve the fonts, indents, and tabs of the original questions, you
can substitute questions for those in the sample final exams or copy and paste questions
into the Exam Master provided in the final Word file of the Test Bank. In the Exam Master,
spaces for your course name, exam type, and the student’s name and section are
followed by headings and instructions for true-false, multiple-choice, short-answer, and
essay questions. You can add elements unique to your exams and delete elements you
don’t want to use. After you customize the Exam Master, you can save it with your
changes. Then, each time you open it, click “Save As” to give it the name of the exam
you are currently constructing.
