College 823-8051 By CARLA SUTTER Battalion Reporter You walk into class five minutes late because you overslept from studying until 4 a. m. Your hands are sweaty. You wonder if you will remember every thing you crammed into your head last night. The teacher hands you a test and as you look it over you groan — it’s all true-false. True-false tests can be the trickiest tests given, said Dr. Donald G. Barker, professor of educational psychology at Texas A&M University. Writing good true-false questions requires know ledge and skill and may only be an indirect indicator of what the student should learn in the course, said John R. Hill of Florida State University in his book “Measurement and Evaluation in the Classroom”. A true-false test is an objective test. Other objec tive tests are multiple choice, matching and short answer. The term objective means that no human judgment is used in grading the test and very few scoring errors or disagreements with the student should occur, said Hill. Multiple choice tests are probably the most com mon tests at Texas A&M, Barker said. The multiple choice tests are easier to grade, he said. “While objective tests are accurate and reliable in the grading process, they usually don’t tap a stu dent’s higher cognitive levels like essay tests do,” Barker said. Barker said essay tests are given more frequently in upper level courses and graduate courses because the classes are smaller. “We wouldn’t use multiple choice tests if we didn’t have to, but class size demands that we do, ” said Dr. Rod O’Conner, professor of chemistry. “When the chemistry department gave its Chal lenge Exam (a comprehensive problems test) at the end of the semester for students who wanted to improve their grade, it took 45 man hours to grade 300 papers with four professors grading, ” O’Conner said. “We would prefer not to give multiple t tests, but it’s not possible because of the tin volved,” he said. “A&M would go broketryinglo| for enough graders.” Nancy Hall, 21, an industrial engineering said she would prefer a problems test toanobjec test. “In a problems test you’re applying what yo| learned, it’s not just rote memory,” she said. While testing the student’s knowledge is tl ary reason for giving tests, it’s not the only r Barker said. Tests are also a motivational andir tional process for the student, he said. Testsgivl student a reason for studying and learning, hesj “Students also like to know the answers to the J at the time it’s given, and if they can find theyrtjJ correct answer, it can be a positive reinforcemei the student,” he said. Many students feel, however, that teachers si care about the tests they give. A senior mechq engineering major said one of his teachers ga« most impossible and bizarre tests. ‘‘He’dgiveib| thing in class and test us over another and then| ‘Who cares? If you flunk you can take thee over,”’ he said. The amount of tests given is also important, E said. “If tests were given more frequently j wouldn’t be as much anxiety,” Barker said, only two tests are given a semester, it puts ak'' load on the student, because there is so muchei asis put on each test in the grading process, A good number of tests would be four or finf said. c ie l Open book and take-home tests can be putt) use on certain occassions, Barker said. “Aslmj dent could show his power independent oftimt] said. “However, the measurement isn’t that^. since everyone isn’t responding to the same.
