Your articles are always great. I am behind on my first semester of a PhD journey and I have a question regarding college teaching and multiple choice quizzes and exams. At this point, because i am teaching and actually love doing it, I am required to use the curriculum of another professor. that professor includes multiple choice quizzes and exams to gauge learning, though I am not convinced that actually gauges anything except memorization unless structured well. My philosophy is also that education should be a leaning experience, not a punishing experience (You probably already understand how I actually feel about grades...). I really apologize for flooding your page. If you could, I am curious about your opinion on all of this and how you handle it in a college atmosphere or classroom. NB: I am teaching undergrad right now and so that is what this question is geared towards, but I suppose it can apply to a grad level class as I am going to have to design a syllabus for my dream class for my pedagogy class that is due next week.

I really appreciate what you do.

Michael
