LindG1000 Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Good to know pedagogy has made good progress in actual question forming over the years. Sad to know that holding students accountable to their own learning has clearly flown out the window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am Scags Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Saw this several years ago, pretty fascinating the level of knowledge needed in 1912 when compared to today. You would think it should be opposite now that we have 101 years of further knowledge under our belts. Barring having to sketch Sir Walter Raleigh and Peter Stuyvesant which is pretty ridiculous, it's pretty obvious that we've been dumbed down.

H-Dreamer Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 I don't even get all questions. lol Though I guess that's because it isn't in my mother tongue and from 100 years ago. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rizz GAWD Lav No Cap FrFr Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 To be fair, there were no standardized tests during this period. This 8th grade class ha this test, another may have been told to spell bacon and count to 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morphinity 2.0 Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Notice how there's no multiple choice. You either know it or you don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Notice how there's no multiple choice. You either know it or you don't. By far my greatest surprise about college tests in the US was the occasional inclusion of multiple choice segments. I hadn't seen those in forever.

Fuhgeddaboudit Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 That's what I loved about my Business Law class in college, my professor was amazing and we had written exams. Funny how I got a really good grade in that class and I just suck at multiple choice questions, not sure why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
