Morgan,
ReplyDeleteThe first question is very straight forward and easy to read, I feel like that is often an overlooked aspect of clicker questions so good! It looks like it will be very effective for determining whether or not they have absorbed that specific information, will there be any discussion? The second question also will help you gain the insight you are looking for so it seems very effective in that respect. I would be interested in seeing what you do as an instructor to facilitate their discussion. All in all great questions, anything plant relateded is awesome!!
I think that discussion after the first question could be interesting. It would give you insight to how well they had read the material. It is so straight forward, that it could definitely offer an opportunity for intervention if there is a high percentage of incorrect answers. I LOVE the second questions! I really feel like more instructors need to make students aware of the sources that popular websites use! Or lack there of.
