Short Question Answer
Short answer questions (or SAQs) can be used in examinations or as part of assessment tasks. They are generally questions that require students to construct a response. Short answer questions require a concise and focused response that may be factual, interpretive, or a combination of the two. SAQs can also be used in a non-examination situation. A series of SAQs can comprise a larger assessment task that is completed over time.
Guidelines for constructing short answer questions
- Effective short-answer questions should provide students with a focus (types of thinking and content) to use in their responses.
- Avoid indeterminate, vague questions that are open to numerous and/or subjective interpretations.
- Select verbs that match the intended learning outcome and direct students in their thinking.
- If you use ‘discuss’ or ‘explain’, give specific instructions as to what points should be discussed/explained.
- Delimit the scope of the task to avoid students going off on an unrelated tangent.
- Know what a good response would look like and what it might include reference to.
- Practice writing a good response yourself so you have an example and so you are aware of how long it may take to answer.
- Provide students with practice questions so they are familiar with question types and understand time limitations.
- Distribute marks based on the time required to answer.
- Review the question using the following questions:
- Does the question align with the learning outcome/s?
- Is the focus of the question clear?
- Is the scope specific and clear enough for students to be able to answer in the time allocated?
- Is there enough direction to guide the student to the expected response?
