Bass et al. 2016.  This paper is an optional read for those very interested in assessment.  Of particular interest are Figure 2 (a process to think about/create assessment) and Table 3 (tips for writing multiple choice questions).  

This is a public discussion board in The Carpentries Forum.  The original question is "Ideas needed for assessment of group-based data analysis project".  I thought the responses would be of interest to many in this FMN.
