The class I TA for had their third test today. The exams don't need to be graded until a week from Friday, but I decided I grade all 80 of them today. Laborious and dull, yet I'm glad its done.
The tests are objective, which make them easy to grade, but harder to test students' progress, in my opinion. But when you've got 140 some odd students you don't have a lot of options. Essay questions are better, but oral exams...now that would be great. But, then again, if I were a student and had to take an oral exam, I would be scared to death!
Humm...I wonder if can make oral exams work for my classes?
