Eolithic Examinations
Jeffrey Cook
There is much to be said for and against the multiple-choice-answer type of examination, most it has been many times. On one thing, however, both sides dispute are agreed: that demands as knowledge skill from examiner any other examination does. If examiner's inadequate, or his information out date, examinee who knows more than he does will often penalized; if questions poorly thought ambiguously worded, chance play too large a part. Mr. Cook shows NCARB in History Theory vulnerable criticism on these counts. He makes plea should employ known tried methods evaluating thus ensuring validity results.
