Topic: The debate over which is kind of exam is better for students to take in a math exam, a multiple choice exam or a free response exam?
There are many pros and cons for both types of exams and everyone has there own preferences. So let's hear why you believe that we, as students, should take either kind of exam. Maybe from this, professors will be persueded one way or another to giving a certain type of exam in the future.
- Well, multiple choices are much easier to grade. I wish somebody could come up with a good argument why multiple choices are better for learning, because it would make my life as an instructor much easier. -pm
- Yea they may be easier to grade, but students dont learn as much from them, since most the time students can just use the process of elimination to figure out which ones its not. The only reason i see that they are being used is for convienence, so how is that going to help the "future leaders of the world"
