Messing with multiple choice
What if it’s not A, B, or C?
My Human Physiology exam broke one of the cardinal rules of multiple-choice tests.
The whole point of a multiple choice test is that the answer is somewhere in front of you. If you’ve done the readings and listened to the lectures, it’s just a matter of recognizing the right answer.
At the very least, you can narrow it down through process of elimination.
Unless some passive-aggressive TA decides to make all 120 questions include "none of the above."
