Dear Respected colleague Dr. Raid, Sir

Thank you very much for inviting me to this amazing session. Regarding your question, personally I spent about 11 years as an academic lecturer in both under and postgraduate levels, so I create a rich bank of different types of questions and ideal solutions including practical and theoretical aspects and doing periodic updating to this bank via following many recent internet sites updates and depending on the latest issued books, by the way I have about 200 Gigabyte E-books that covering my field in mechanical engineering plus others specialties and utterly ready to share with you sir and other colleagues, hence I do not need long time for preparing questions for my students exams.

Very impressive question, thanks again,

Emad

For a 3 hour question paper six hour is required. We prepare the solution and answer the paper if itcan be completed within the time frame.

May be two hours( more or less) for writing and printing as I have clear idea of what I want to write. 

Liqaa 

It takes 2 to 3 hrs.

Dear Dr. Emad,

  Thank you for your enriching answer. Your strategy, I think is not differ from my and other colleagues strategies.  Even with this strategy, the bank of questions needs a time for creation, maintenance and updating. In addition to that, choosing questions and put them in the forma of the exam also takes another time.

   Dear Emad, I want to add another important thing especially in our country: it is difficult to preserve the bank for long time in other word you cannot use the same questions many times and this increases the burden to the Iraqi academicians.

  I am happy if you share me from your bank what it belongs to my specialty (ear, nose and throat diseases).

Accept my respection

Best regards

Raid

Thank you very much dear Dr.Raid for your kind words, Surly I am doing a periodic updating to my so simple information bank, as you know sir, we are all facing a flood(s) of E-facilities including E-books, webinars, bright talk interactions, ..etc. Regarding your request, almost of my E-books are relating to mechanical engineering, civil, chemical, hydraulics, corrosion, mathematics, computer engineering, control engineering, and few E-books about prosthetics and orthotics.

Regards, Emad

It takes near 4 hours for set up and print out 

Dear Raid,

The exam preparation time takes an important time in the first years of work but after that, it is a question of a few minutes.

About two days or may be more!

Day or 2 days

One day in average. 

I think that the time required to prepare the exam questions depends on the experience of the scientific and professional teacher and the number of years of experience. For me, I need less than one hour for the short examinations and two hours for the final exams.Noting that the time includes preparing the typical answers to these questions.!!!!

It is usually depends on the kind of examination whether formative or summative and whether theoretical or applied. 

Liqaa 

Dear Raid M. Al-Ani 

By the time, A questions bank has been established for each course, so the mechanism does not take more than half an hour to prepare questions covering the entire curriculum.

Regards

Sometimes time taken is more than 3 hours for typical  3 hours for 100 marks question mainly mcq plus short answers plus descriptive type questions. 

Hello doctor, depending on the nature of the questions if they are prepared with the essay shortly if objectively take long time greetings

I think it depends on the kind of course and type of questions that will be prepare, 2-3hours or more in average.

1-1,5h it depends on the level and type of exam

 The time of this depend on the course ,the student stage ,teachers experience, and the nature of exam.,generally it takes  about 3-5 hours

It depends on the subject and complexity of the questions. Most often I set the time, because I understand the complexity of the questions

Thank you Dr. Karobi Borah.

Thank you Dr. Salam for your amazing answer.

Thank you Dr. Ajit Roy for your valuable answer.

Dear Raid, if a teacher wants to prepare a good and measurable questions that will, in some degree, cover the topic material he has to spent time. And this depends on the topic material's nature.

Best regards,

V. Janusheva 

Thank you Dr. Violeta Janusheva for your valuable answer.

Depend on the subject and should not exceed 4 hours.

It depends upon what the style of the exam  is apply. Also experience of teacher is an important factor.Usualy in most cases, it will take 1-4 hours . 

Thank you dear Dr. Salwan Ali Abed Al-Hamzawi.

Thank you dear Dr. Hassan Alshamsi.

It depends on the subject. I thought machine designed, and it takes 4 hours to prepare questions and print question paper. 

Thank you dear Dr. Tahir Iqbal.

Since most of my exams are half multiple choice and half short answer, it probably takes an average of 6 hours to write an exam. 

Thank you dear Dr. Kirk MacGregor.

Well Prof Al-Ani ,

It is subject dependent like how Tariq mentioned . If I have to give problems (then I have to solve it first else missing data etc is a problem)

Also it takes time to twist words so that there is no one-to- one mapping .

May be 3-4 hours (roughly )

Thank you dear Dr. Aparna Sathya Murthy.

it would be take 2-3 hours in average . 

it depends on the subject and wether I taught it before or it is the first time. the average for me is 1-3 hours.

Hi,

Usually takes me (1.5 - 2) hrs for final exam, and approximately 1hr for mid exam.

Anyway it depending on the subject.

REGARDS

Dear Raid,

This depend on the level of study (Engineer, Master, first level, second level, ...) and the matter.

If the matter is new, it takes minimum 8 hours. If i teach this matter several times, i takes 2-3 hours.

With my best regards!

Dr. Adel OUESLATI

For a three hour paper>>>>>>>Questions: 24 hours.........Marking Guide....36 Hours

Multiple Choice....50 Questions.....48 hours

Short Answer Questions.........25 Questions.......36 hours

All questions need a time of not less than three hours depending on the type of questions, whether quarterly or final.

Best Regards

Malik

I fully agree with Dr. Parisa Ziarati. Regards

1-2 hr.

I am just wondering whether there is any valuable things behind the answer of this question !

2 hours

It depends on the subject and the teacher experience. For me i take 2 to 3 hours as an average to prepare the final exam ( writing questions, writing typical solutions) and finallt print.

For me, it depends and varies. Factors such as the number of course units, the type of question and the technicalities involved has a lot of input to the time I spend. The time I look out for is the time taken to answer the questions (marking scheme). This of course is important to ensure the questions set can be answered by such students within the expected time frame.

3hours

From hours to days or months. It depends on the exam format, degree to be evaluated and depth / difficulty / validity of the instruments used.

For example, to evaluate the ethical perspective of the students regarding the ethical behavior of their professors, it was necessary to make a methodological investigation to design, carry out, apply and validate the evaluation instrument, before its final application with hypothesis testing.

José Luis

For your subject it is 2 to 3 hrs.

An hour including printing.

I always prepare my exams questions when I am preparing my lessons (scheme of work, lesson plan and the content knowledge). Thus, the time is relative but not time-consuming anyway

In case of MCQ, it will be 2 minutes/question.

depends on the subject matter expertise and type of exam..... generally with scheme of answers for the evaluation it would consume 4-5hrs

towards an question paper for annual exam with three hours duration for the students to answer....

For final exam, it takes me days to complete it. Thank you for sharing your question with me.

For courses taught frequently I could have the exam ready in less than an hour. For new courses at least 3 hours.

I think it depends on the type of questions being prepared and for what level of students. Essay like questions are faster to prepare than 50 or 100 MCQ.

It takes 2 to 5 hrs.

It all depends on the subject and which is term of the exam (first or last).

The time required takes 2- 3 If the final exam is for the undergraduate students and 3-5 hours for graduate studies
