In most post-secondary courses, a large percentage of student assessment is based on
II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l II!l




multiple- choice testing. Many instructors use multiple-choice reluctantly, believing that it is

a
II!l methodology best used for testing what a student remembers rather than what she or he
