Fear Factor with Tests

Public

Discussion:

Michael, well stated. There are even arguments that first attempt responses to tests should have a lower overall weight on the class grade than second attempts as the second attempt is more likely to demonstrate actual learning. In the United States, we tend to put way too much weight on testing and not enough focus on measurement of actual learning.
