Locate a test that you have given, taken or from another source, and identify any elements of bias

Locate a test that you have given, taken or from another source, and identify any elements of bias (offensiveness, unfair penalization) as mentioned in chapter 5. I would like for you to attach the test or bring it to class next week when we meet on campus. I want you to submit a separate document on BB that identifies the problems with the test. Please refer to the test items by number or section such as (multiple choice item #4) and state the element of bias. You may also discuss any other problems you see with the test that are not mentioined in your text.

For this reason, it is important to record all students’ attendance at every class session (whether or not you use the information) rather than collecting a mental record of absences of highly visible students that may inadvertently and unfairly affect how you evaluate them……………………………..
