With my background in Biology, I can appreciate that! I always thought my Micro professor had the absolute best testing model ever. You could go take your exam any one of three nights. Each student got a completely random set of questions so you couldn't possibly copy off someone else. Immediately after handing in your exam you could get the answer key to your personal test and sit down and see exactly what you got wrong. If you wanted to try for a higher grade, you could go home, study those areas you were weak in, and return a second and even third time to take another exam, with a completely different set of questions. Your highest grade was the one that would count. On the flip side was my Pathogenic Bacteriology course, where the tests were basically the handouts with blanks inserted in various places. Even if you put something into the blank that made total sense, you still got it wrong if it wasn't what was on the stupid handout. So you basically didn't have to study from the $100 textbook at all, just memorize the silly handouts (which just were a simple summary of each days topic) and you would pass. Testing methods like that drove me crazy, and I was so annoyed after having bought that expensive text book for no reason that I decided to make a point and study *solely* from it for my final exam. I did so poorly as a result that I got a "D" for a final grade. I got very tired of explaining that grade to employers after graduation. ;-) --- Mary Jo ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;192386516;25150098;k Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:259697 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
