Recommendations: 1. Add questions for 10-15 high-centrality uncovered concepts 2. Focus on Foundation concepts (graphical analysis, graphs) 3. Add technical questions for Oscillations and Optics (underrepresented taxonomies) 4. Consider adding 2-3 questions each for: Vector Components, Energy Diagrams, Power, Simple Machines, Wave Properties
Estimated Questions Needed: +20 questions Estimated Time: 3-4 hours
Priority 2: Minor Bloom's Adjustments (Low Priority)
Current: 17.5% Remember (target 20%) Impact: Minimal (already within acceptable range)
Recommendations: 1. Add 2-3 Remember-level questions for terminology 2. Focus on foundational terms from chapters 1-3 3. Consider definition-style questions for units, symbols, constants
Estimated Questions Needed: +2-3 questions Estimated Time: 30 minutes
Priority 3: Create Question (Optional)
Current: 3.75% Create (target 3%) Status: Already meets target
Optional Enhancement: Consider adding 1-2 Create-level questions like: - "How would you design an experiment to measure [coefficient of friction/spring constant/etc.]?" - "How could you combine [concepts] to build a [device/system]?"
These would support the course's emphasis on creative application and projects.
