I agree with number 10. Multiple choice is worthless. I know you can write higher order questions but all they can tell me is whether it is correct or not. I learn nothing about my students, and what they know. They save time but htat's it.
I completely agree with you. Where is the creative response behind a multiple choice question? I like the extended response questions because I can then see the thought process of each individual student.
Love the title of your blog! I agree with you. It's scary to think we are applying assessment measures from over 100 years ago. It's even scarier to think that a tool intended as "a test of lower order thinking for the lower orders” has so much signifinance in how we are required to measure our students learning and growth.
