Catherine, Case studies are great tools. They really put a real life spin on the evaluation. Accounting though, there are certain concepts and terms you just HAVE to know. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

Nicholas, There is always a place for objective measurements. Students have to have an understanding of the lower part of Bloom's before they can master the upper portion. You are right, they are dry. You may have them explain why an answer is false or when would a true be false. Just some thoughts. . . . Dr. Kelly Wilkinson
