Marcia, I agree with you. I also use discussion as a part of assessment and will use them as examples of how to write an essay. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

Francis , I will say I have had true and false questions that were the hardest question of any I ever had! If you answered false, you had to explain why. That is a twist of the t/f! Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

Christen, I agree with you. I think you have to mix the types of questions particularly when assessing using Bloom's taxonomy. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

Sandra, I agree with you. I think our k-12 institutions "program" our students to be much more comfortable with objective exams. (That is my opinion) :) Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

Trude, I use this type of assessment. I also use projects to assess knowledge. It is not always about a test! Good answer. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

Chastity, That can be a shock! Many people will grade a question at a time; not a test at a time. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

Trista, That is interesting. Do you have to create your own rubrics or are they provided? Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

BRIGITTE , I think your approach is spot on! I agree with your use of rubrics; you have to have them as it works to guide students as they reflect on their answers. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

Janis, Yes, also our LMS is just now able to set a timed test. This does help with my comfort zone in giving a more objective test online. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson
