CH27: Assessments — Quizzes, Tests & Exams (with Keys)

CH27: Assessments — Quizzes, Tests & Exams (with Keys)

At-a-glance: Teacher Pack • Evidence of learning

A. Definition & place in DO

  • Purpose: ready-to-use assessments that check recall of the twelve links (SN 12.1), accuracy of per-link enumerations (SN 12.2), placement in the four periods, grasp of the three rounds & three connections, and live application at C2 (vedanā→taṇhā).

  • Fit: aligns to Ch24 Objectives O1–O4 and can be dropped into any unit focused on Present Flow or full-map mastery.

B. Mechanism (how to deploy)

  • Formative → Summative ladder: quick checks mid-lesson (quiz), short test at lesson end, compact exam after a 3–5 lesson unit.

  • Item mapping: every item ties to an objective; each set includes an answer key and, where relevant, a mini-practicum rubric.

  • Accessibility: diagrams kept near items; QR versions provide printable PDFs with alt text.

C. Practice (ready sets)

1) Formative Quiz (8–10 min, 10 pts)

Q4 (O3, 1 pt) State C2 using Pāli terms.
Q5 (O1/O2, 2 pts) Match:

  • a) saṅkhārā → [ Past Cause / Present Effect ]

  • b) viññāṇa → [ Past Cause / Present Effect ]
    Q6 (O1/O3, 1 pt) From vedanā, what arises if unexamined?
    Q7 (O4, 2 pts) Micro-practicum (30–40s): Teacher gives a soft sound → learner labels door→contact→tone, then performs Loosen. (Teacher ticks Y/N for each step: 0–2 pts.)

5) Six cravings → list by door (6×1; cap at 4 pts total).

C. Application (C2) (10 pts)
6) Given a vignette (notification + jolt), underline words that point to phassa, circle the tone, draw an arrow to taṇhā if present, then write one cooling cue (Loosen or Path re-aim). (10 pts: 3+3+2+2)

D. Oral (live, 10 pts)
7) Recite the twelve links (≤30s, 5 pts) and explain why vedanā is result while taṇhā is cause (≤20s, 5 pts).

Keys & Rubrics (Exam):

  • A: Full-credit layouts per Ch02–03; rounds overlay per Ch03.

  • B: Feelings/Cravings by the six doors.

  • C: Identifies triangle words (base/object/knowing) → tone; marks lean; offers valid cooling.

  • D: Link roll-call correct; explanation: vedanā = vipāka; taṇhā = kilesa (samudaya) per SN 12.1–12.2.
