Are tests the best way to measure learning?
When I think about this question I think about many things. One of the things I think about are the students who cram and cram for a test the night before or the morning of. In my opinion these students haven't learned anything. I know that a rarely remember tests that are multiple choice, or short answer. As much as I dislike to say it the tests that I remember the best are essay questions. I think the reason for this is because I have to plan it out several times, I have to think about the different outcomes and choose which is the best option. Another reason for this is because I remember the "stories" that have lead up to these essay questions.
