Hey guys....just a quick question for current, or past, students......

What was the structure of your exams at school like? (i.e. multiple choice, long answer, a mixture of both, etc...)

thanks.

Pretty much everything. Mostly multiple choice, I suppose. Very few essays, thank God.

multiple choice at most schools. i dont believe many utilize written answer anymore.

ICO is pretty much all multiple choice. There is a first year class called "sensory aspects of vision" that has some fill in the blank parts to its exams.

SCCO has pretty much all MC for lecture exams, with the exception of some tests here and there that have a couple of short answer. However there is one class that has ALL essay response questions in the midterms (Binocular Vision and Space Perception).

There are also numerous practical and proficiency exams, which are of course, not multiple choice.

Thanks for the responses you guys.....

Just another follow up to that question...I have heard of some professional schools penalizing students for getting a question wrong in the multiple choice exam....

For instance:

+1 mark for an answer that is somewhat close to the actual answer
+2 marks for the actual answer
-1 mark for a answer that is not completely wrong
-2 marks for an answer that is just way completely off

Is this the case with your school?

Thanks guys.

Wow, I've never heard of that actually, and no that's not in SCCO (at least so far).

Multiple choice at Pacific except for random classes here and there. We don't have any strange scale like the one you mentioned above. You either got it right - or you didn't.
