<p class="MsoNormal">Dear All,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A few weeks ago I posted concerning options for determining if my students know something when they graduate. Any other suggestions? I asked for sources of an MIS Comprehensive Exam.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In my summary follow-up post, I indicated I thought the current options (ICCP and ISACA) are too expensive. I have sense discovered ICCP also offers through CCER (Center for Computing Education Research) an IS2010 exam for $50 per student.
I suggested the creation of a free online version.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I plan on working on such an exam for my graduating seniors over winter break and I would like some input (HELP!!) from anyone interested.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">First, Anyone interested in administering the test to their students for comparing results?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Second, any suggestions on content? ICCP.org bases there exam on the IS2010 curriculum guidelines<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">(see <a href="http://www.acm.org/education/curricula/IS%202010%20ACM%20final.pdf">
http://www.acm.org/education/curricula/IS%202010%20ACM%20final.pdf</a> and the ICCP core exam outline at
<a href="http://iccp.org/certification/exams/outlines#core">http://iccp.org/certification/exams/outlines#core</a>)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Third, Question suggestions? Have you written any great questions I can use? Question format suggestions. Currently, I am planning on straightforward multiple choice questions to measure basic knowledge and short case scenarios with
multiple choice questions to examine depth of knowledge.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Fourth, length suggestions? The course I will be teaching this spring meets for 90 min. once a week. Should be exam(s) be designed in parts to be completed in and 50, 75 or 90 min. segments?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">ALL COMMENTS will be appreciated.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks!!!<o:p></o:p></p>
