Abstract

Multiple choice questions are a popular means of assessment for online examinations: easy to mark, but difficult to prepare in a way that makes it hard for students to gain high marks by sharing answers between them. Here we describe a systematic approach for creating multiple choice questions that can be used to test the understanding of bookwork topics, while still being challenging and mitigating against potential cheating.
