Anthony, You make a great point. You have to keep in mind the workload issues of the instructor. It is so important that you as the instructor can manage it because you have to get the feedback to the students. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

megan, Don't apologize for your type of assessment. I think sometimes we become so tied to Blooms and getting learning to the higher level that we forget there is a purpose for measuring at the lower level. Without acquiring that base knowledge. Higher level learning won't exist. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson
