Subject: Question Pool vs Book Larnin'

The biggest "test" I've ever taken is the continuing "test" of working for a living in electronics design. Some of the time that work couldn't be either open- or closed-book; no book existed to yield the "proper answers." :-) Even open book tests work. I've taken them not knowing anything about a subject, but after the test I do. But at least with a test where the questions are not known in advance, even in an "open book" test, the person being tested (a) still has to already know enough about the subject to know WHERE to look, and (b) is going to assimilate some of the material in the research phase of looking through the book. I used open book testing when teaching Avionics in the USMC with great effectiveness. Not only did the students have a very high aggregate test score, but it reinforced thier skills in using the maintenance manuals. 73 Steve, K4YZ |
