Quiz? NOOOOOOO!!!!!!! This experiential learning, isn't it? (John, sorry but you were the one who stepped on the tripwire. Multiple-choice is pretty much a worst practice and especially so in experiential learning.)
We have to quit teaching people *about* entrepreneurship and focus 100 percent on helping them to learn how to think and act like an entrepreneur.
Anyway, multiple-choice is a terrible way to assess what they've learned. If you want to know how many factoids they've learned, maybe. Maybe. (And memorization ain't learning.)
You want to assess what they have internalized, whether they will use it and use it skillfully. How has it changed how they think? A quiz will only capture items of information that have been poured into their heads.Imperfectly.
Lean and business model tools represent a mindset, not just facts they have memorized. You wouldn't give them a quiz about entrepreneurship, would you?
So my challenge to ENTREP is... how do YOU assess experiential learning?

Hi:
Does anyone have a good multiple choice quiz on the business model canvas?
I am suffering from quiz-writers block. Thanks.
