Tests with forced-choice questions should be used to test “declarative knowledge, such as facts, dates, formulas, and general information on a topic” (Tileston, 2004). When teachers need…

Taking a multiple choice every Monday seemed like a lot and it was because I would do good on some and not so good on others.

and ended it with a short multiple choice on the event. With the multiple choice questions, I asked five basic questions about the events, day, place, and people involved. The multiple choice questions helped me see how much people have retained about the major events in the assassination. The questionnaires also helped me gauge an idea on how people learned about the assassination. Most of the places people learned about the event qualified into three topics: class, relatives, and experience.…
