You've delivered some great teaching and students have seemed really engaged. Now it's time to check in on their learning. Did they understand what you taught them? Or do you need to spend more time on it?
Consider including:
1-2 surface level questions (Multiple Choice/Inline Choice/Drag-n-Drop)
1-2 application questions (Categorize/Free Response/Show your Work)
