Increasing Student Completion of Long-Form Questions Using Bullet-Point Prompts
Davis-Berg, Elizabeth C.; Minbiole, Julie
School Science Review, v101 n377 p64-66 Jun 2020
The completion rates were compared for long-form questions where a large blank answer space is provided and for long-form questions where the answer space has bullet-points prompts corresponding to the parts of the question. It was found that students were more likely to complete a question when bullet points were provided in the answer space. This easy-to-implement change increases completion rate, allowing instructors to better assess achievement of course outcomes and leading to the broader integration of concepts.
