ivINTRODUCTIONThe following test bank forIn Harmony,3e, includes two types of assessment: chapterreview quizzes and mastery tests.The test bank contains a chapter review quiz for Chapters 1–15. Each chapter reviewquiz consists of a ten-question, multiple-choice quiz and an answer key. Although thequizzes are intended as assessment tools, they can be used instructionally in severaldifferent ways:1.Asannouncedorunannouncedquizzesafterstudentshavebeenassigned a chapter to read but before the material is discussed in class;2.As in-class work with a partner after the chapter is assigned and either beforeor after the material has been discussed in class;3.As quizzes given after the material has been thoroughlycovered;4.As homework assignments to be done following the reading but prior to thediscussion in class. With this option, you can collect and grade the quizzes asa way of encouraging students to read the material in advance of the classdiscussion, or you can go over the answers in class as a way of introducingthe class discussion of the reading.Mastery tests are designed to measure a student’s ability to apply the skills learned ineach chapter. These tests are intended to be practical simulations of reading and studysituations that college students face.For Chapters 1–10, each mastery test begins with an excerpt from a college textbook,followed by ten objective questions about content, vocabulary, and specific topicscovered in the chapter. For Chapters 11–15, the mastery tests consist of ten multiple-choice exercises for each chapter. These exercises require students to apply conceptsrelated to sentence basics and grammar essentials. An answer key is provided for eachchapter. Although mastery tests are intended as assessment tools, they can be used asinstructional tools as well:1.As collaborative learning activities in which students work together tocomplete the tasks in each mastery test;2.As additional practice exercises. Some students may require additionalguided practice in learning and applying particular skills.
