Tests...

I miss multiple choice exams. I miss them a lot. None of me teachers believe in them anymore.

Instead it's all research papers, fill in the blank, or worst... essay questions.

Blech.

That's the main difference between freshman courses and senior courses. I'm back to teaching freshmen and sophomores this semester, so I can use multiple choice tests again.

Test Thursday. 55 multiple choice questions, 75 minutes. About 5 of the questions will take at least 5 minutes each to put all the numbers in the calculator... assuming you already know what you're doing. Alas, many of my students don't. 75 minutes. 5 point deduction for every minute past 75. 100 points possible. Any bets on the mean score? or the median score?
