Compare and contrast constructed-response items and selected-response items. Identify the pros and cons of each type of item. If you were to create your own test, what type of questions would you include? Defend your answer. 2. What is item analysis? Why is it important to conduct an item analysis on your test questions? 3. Create your own test on a content area of your choice (examples: child psychology or any area of psychology, sports, health, education, recreation, media). Your test must include 2 multiple choice questions, 2 True-False Questions, and 1 essay question. You will create TWO versions of the test. In one test the questions are acceptable, but “poor”, and a second test in which the same content questions are asked, but the question construction is “better”. For each question, explain why one question is “better” than the other (“poor” question). Vary the problems with your “poor”questions, as explained in the text.

Describe a company that in your estimation is a low end disruptor (either from the past or that you think is presently disrupting their industry).

Study Question #1 – Worth 8 points

Disruptive innovation as described by Christensen is powerful because his theory is that small companies have an advantage over the big incumbent companies when the small companies are following a disruptive strategy. His theory is that big companies are not stupid, but handcuffed. Please describe a company that in your estimation is a low end disruptor (either from the past or that you think is presently disrupting their industry). Next describe why the big companies are handcuffed. Why won’t they, or why can’t they, compete head to head with the low end disruptor?

Study Question #2 – Worth 10 points

Disruptive innovation as described by Christensen is hard for large incumbent companies because oftentimes they are not structured to take advantage of potential disruptive opportunities. However, he makes recommendations for how large institutions could begin to behave in ways that make them better able to take advantage of disruptive opportunities as well as general recommendations as to how large organizations can take advantage of disruptive opportunities. So, using the example we discussed in class about a potential new market disruption of serving active duty military and government workers with Masters degrees on a large scale, how would you suggest that a large, existing, mainstream university move forward to take advantage of that market to be in a position not just to take nibbles, but to take large chunks of the market? Describe the bullet points of the plan you would present to the university president to attack this market. Think about the structure this new effort, staffing the effort, business processes, and scale of financing required as examples of elements in your plan.

N/B A page to each answer is fine.
