Does anyone else think thats making it a little too easy?
 
I mean I'm all for it because it means less stress on my part but I feel that since its a college course I'm taking, it should be a little more than just multiple choice.  I mean whole year of some pretty hard math and now they just make it Mulitple choice lol. The course i am taking this year is Principles of Engineering, which the course outline was designed by the Rochester Institute of Technology.
 
Has anyone here ever been given a college exam thats all multiple choice?

Yes, it was awesome. The final question was "Have a nice summer" And all the options were smiley faces. No lie. Best exam ever. 

Sometimes multiple choice tests are difficult because they are "choose the best answer" multiple choice tests.  I've had that on a few of my college Econ and college Physics exams (both of which were all multiple choice).  Give me short answer any day.

The hardest multiple answer questions are the ones that want you to choose the best answer, even if it doesn't seem totally correct.

I am personally shocked anytime a test isn't all multiple choice. It sucks, but gives you a chance to guess.

I got all 2 A's and 2 B's last semester and did virtually nothing. So no, college is the perfect difficulty.

Short answer ftw.

Yes, man multiple choice tests are a crazy way to test the knowledge of a subject...

Why does everyone like multiple choice? The test are ALWAYS harder, i freaking hate it. They give you a harder question than normal with four options that are exactly the same, then only give you 1 mark because its multiple choice, oh and the amount of questions you do is increased by a factor of 3 or 4.

I've had multiple choice exams in University and believe it or not, they're not as easy as you think.

I don't know if this is to make it easier on the students or easier on the examination board. Either way, I think it's a bit of a joke, but then again, I think the same with most exams.

Personally I find a well written multiple choice exam to be a lot harder than a essay. Blair gave a good example. Another example: physics. A tough physics multiple choice is really tough if you aren't really knowledgeable about the subject.

I'm confused, was that supposed to be laugh out loud funny?   I fucking HATE when people say "lol."   Hey guys, I just at a bag of chips and made a post on Giant Bomb, LOL! "

People didn't do very well on my multiple choice exams when I taught; it's all about making the wrong answers convincing.  Yes, there's a 20-25% chance someone will get lucky, and that's happened to me.  But if they don't know anything, they'll still fail.  

if u think mc is to ez first of all ur taking the wrong mc tests 
also mc makes sence in classes of 200+ students 
my first half of my college career was all mc, now its all short answer  
 
also depends on major, mc works for biology but not so well with philosophy  
to me essay tests take longer but are almost always easier
