length) is going fine, i think. As i always do when i am feeling
hostile because i have been asked to do something i shouldn't be doing
at the spur of the moment, or when i am bored (joining these
conditions is another way of saying 'practically always'), this test
is themed...i pick out something obscure that i can get a lot of terms
from, and make multiple-choice questions with one correct answer, and
the rest theme-based answers. Mine are remarkably simple tests,
provided one has either studied or is familiar with (and recognises)
the theme. Oddly, before today i had yet to have any undergrads
notice this; when *i* was a confuzzled undergrad, easter egg-style
tests were hardly uncommon, but perhaps that was due to my major.
Butsoanyway, i am assuming from one student's occasional snorting that
my method has been discovered, at least by one student...out of over
fifty. After three years. Sigh.
It is nice to be appreciated, on any small level.
Not unusual, though...Meg routinely gives pre-tests that are virtually
identical to her tests, and the chirren are so apathetic that most do
not even DO the pre-test... Scary, that.
