I just took the easiest midterm ever. I’m taking this class for general ed. requirement. The professor gave us 5 quizzes, told us the answers, and put the exact questions on the test. I didn’t even have to read the question all the way when I took the test.

Normally, I actually think it makes sense for teaches to require a lot out of their students. Otherwise they don’t learn a thing. But maybe they should also keep in mind the purpose of their class. For this class, I am taking it because I have to, and the university thinks I should have a well balanced education. I actually learn a lot by going to class and paying attention. But I’m glad I really don’t have to worry about the grade. I learn as much as I want to, and because it is something I really don’t need in my career, I am fine with it.

Also, how much do tests actually show what a student has learned? Essays make more sense, even skills tests, but multiple choice tests often measure how well you do on a multiple choice test, not how much you have learned in a class.
