 +   * To build the q-matrix, experts constructed a relationship between test questions and concepts (referred to as attributes) and students taking the test were assigned knowledge states based on their test answers and the constructed q-matrix ((see Ham85 for a discussion of item-response theory))

 +   * Hand construction of the q-matrix by assigning concepts to questions and then comparing student answers to closest matrix responses. Problems: a q-matrix is a much more 
 +abstract measure of the relationships of questions to concepts. We might assume that the

 +objectives than an abstract construct which relates questions to underlying concepts.
