The learning objectives for my test include
1. Students will be able to describe a variety of different careers
2. Students will be able to explain the associated skills that are needed to perform a particular job/career
3. Students will be able to identify the types of jobs they would like to do when they grow up
4. Students will be able to identify and determine what the necessary steps are for them to achieve their dream job/career
For my test, I would use a variety of different test example questions. I would have fill in the blank questions, matching list questions, sequence type questions, and compositions questions. My students would be able to either come into class to take this test, or they would be given the option to take it online. For the students who would decide to take the test online, they would be allowed more time to take test, due to the fact that they would have to type up some of their answers. The test for the students that took the test in class would be timed and they would have less time to take the test. I would try to make the test online as easy as possible to navigate and take online, to reduce stress, anxiety, and the workload for my students. With that being said, the following below, you will find sample test questions that I have designed for my course.
