I have improved my multiple choice test writing questions over the years, but I still have lots of room for improvement! 2 things I learned: avoid giving additional information (teaching) in the test question, and put the terminology/vocab in the question and the definition in the answer. I often do that in reverse.
We use assessments to ensure the students are learning and retaining the information from lecture/readings. This section provided me with more understanding of how we can curtail our exams to drive certain points home.
I learned that the woman in the video has a style that I find to be very off putting. Nearly every video they show of her, is to say the least concerning. In this section she discusses, "Negative points" in participation. Most of it was ok, until she says if a student had been wanting to get involved in the discussion but wasn't able, finally gets a turn, but asks about something from earlier that is a negative. That is a terrible teaching method. That student had a question and you are going to penalize them for asking because you judge it too late? The only thing that will accomplish is discouraging participation.
Make essay questions comprehensive rather than focused on small units of content.

Numerous educators regard essay questions as the epitome of assessment, as they demand a higher level of engagement from students compared to other question formats. Unlike multiple-choice questions, essay prompts necessitate more than mere recognition of correct responses, rendering rote memorization ineffective in preparation for essay examinations. By their very nature, essay inquiries evaluate intricate cognitive processes, critical analysis, and problem-solving abilities, mandating students to articulate their thoughts effectively through coherent English prose.

Asking questions is very important as a student as well as an instructor. The content, tone and delivery of asking questions is key to encourage student participation in a group discussion.
I've learned how implementing different types of tests can be better for certain job skills and knowledge retention.
i feel mixing True/False multiple choice and fill in the blank tests give a greater amount of a students comprehension of the material
I have learned that the tests should evaluate different skills and objectives. Though I have no control over my tests, I may introduce polling via virtual experience to enhance the class situation.
There are different types of assessments. Deciding which one and what you are trying to assess is important. One thing that I learned was that when testing for mastery of vocabulary you should use the term rather than the definition in the stem. I think When teaching medical terminology that would be helpful.
I have learned about the different types of tests of a course and how this helps us as instructors to know the strengths and weaknesses of the learners so we can modify the learning activities.
