0 You will also receive a detailed report with emailed to you for review. This data can be used to inform instruction and evaluate effectiveness.

Interpreting Results
0 Once you have results from your assessment, you can effectively make informed decisions to improve teaching and learning.
0 For example, using the data sample from my
International Trade Quiz on handout 4, I can determine that Question 3 was frequently missed. Why was question 3 missed? I can look at the question for flaws. If no flaws exist, I need to reteach the material for a higher percentage of student mastery.
