QUESTION/REPONSE [12 records]

Record 1 2022-12-25

English

Subject field(s)
  • Criminology
  • Criminal Psychology
CONT

One type of symptomatic question (e. g., "DO you understand that I'm not going to ask any trick or surprise questions?") is designed to test whether the examinee trusts the examiner's word that no surprise questions will be asked. A large response is symptomatic of distrust. A second type of symptomatic question (e.g., "Is there something else you are afraid I will ask you a question about, even though I have told you I would not?") is to test whether there is some other issue the examinee is concerned about (e. g., another crime) that may be absorbing his or her arousal.

Record 5 1999-04-28

English

Subject field(s)
  • Training of Personnel
  • Examinations and Competitions (Education)
CONT

A short-answer question should require only a few words, phrases or sentences for a complete answer.

CONT

Short-answer questions require the student to type words or numbers ... A single-word response is much easier for a computer program to judge than the multiple-word response ... Such questions are common in computer-based math and science lessons. The length of expected responses in short-answer questions should be as short as possible, both to prevent typographical error and to facilitate judging.

CONT

The three major types of constructed-response questions are: completion, short-answer, and essay questions. However, only the first two are used in computer-based instruction.
