When Taking A Test

[Koh]

You're reminding me of a quote one of my professors said, regarding his tests.  It was something along the lines of

"I like multiple choice or true false questions, because even if the student couldn't remember the material during the test, due to anxiety or whatever other factors, they can still use the test itself to refresh theirself or learn new things.  In my class, it's not about memorizing and regurgitating the same things back to me, it's about understanding concepts and how they work.  I don't care if you're unable to give me the book definition or analysis of something; if you can prove to me you at least understand the material, that's all I care about."
