I just finished ED 117.  It took me along time to get through all the information because there was so much.    I feel the course is extremely valuable.  It was so informative and I remained highly motivated throughout.  I feel strongly the final assessment is not a true measurement of the knoweldge and understanding I have obtained. The questions were written in a way that give room to too much interpretation and overthought.  I over think everything and change my mind... trying to figure out what answer would be best.  When the questions say check all that apply it makes it more confusing.  I am frustrated.  I completed all the requirements in the course and I did very well on the quizzes but tonight I failed the final and therefore no certificate and I cannot review my answers.  If a student can't review they can't learn from mistakes. If I didn't understand the information, if I can't go on to use skill and apply it.... than I should fail. I did understand.  I feel competent that I will apply what i have learned.  This is why standarized testing is frowned upon by good teachers.  These assessments tell students (with great potential)that they are failures if they don't know how to take the test.  

Sincerely

Frustrated
