Most of the ma- Greater use of old examination questions in testing the knowledge of college and university students is urged by Dr. B. C. Hendricks of the department of chemistry, who with Dr. B. H. Handorf of Park college, Parkville, Mo., has an article on examination practices published in the Journal of Chemi cal Education. "Many teachers believe that it 13 better to formulate a new question rather than to reuse one which ex perience has shown to be a good one," they state. "Examination questions, however, may be edited for use much as textbooks may be improved by revision. If certain specific questions give reliable evidence of student understanding and achievement then those ques tions, like a thermometer, may profitably be used more than once for measurement. Experience is generally considered valuable, evvn when the results are negative." Dr. Hendricks and Dr. Handorf, who have made a detailed study of examination question prepared by hundreds of college professors over the nation, suggest two methods for improving the written test. , Instructors, they point out, might send their best questions to a central office where they could be copied and made available to all teachers, or graded examination papers might be submitted along with & copy of the questions so that validity indices could be de termined for each question. By making greater use of evaluated questions, educators would know better what results to expect from their students. terial will be of special interest to Nebraskans, because it represents fragments of meteors that have fallen in the state in recent years.
