Scantron

*It came time for final exams. I was very concerned about having to write a test. I was worried that the test would either be too easy or too difficult.  I was afraid it would not accurately show what the students’ had learned over the course of my teaching.  I labored for several hours and came up with the perfect test. To make life simpler, I decided to use a Scantron, so as not to spend so much time grading.  When the time came for the students to begin testing, one student hesitantly mentions that the matching portion of the test gives choices from letter A-L, but the Scantron only has blanks for A-D.  What to do? All tests are complete and copied, and there was no time to correct.  I had to have students fill out half the test on the Scantron and the other half on notebook paper. Better luck next time.
