Identifying biased biology exam questions

This NSF IUSE project is designed to explore bias in instructor exams in introductory biology. This collaborative project will analyze questions on introductory biology course exams taught by different instructors, specifically examining the relationships between different types of questions, student scores on the questions, and student understanding of the concept that the question is supposed to test. This information has the potential to help biology instructors more fairly and accurately test student understanding of biology.
