[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 222169, member: 1233"] So many of the tests our kids take require them to give back info they have absorbed. Questions like this can give the students teh chance to be creative, to let the teacher see how well a student can express him or herself when surprised, and see how well a student can "sell" an answer, rather than how well a student can reiterate info presented through the school year or in a book. I don't think there are right or wrong answers to these questions. Rather, the teacher wants to see what the student is thinking and how well he can express himself. How clearly, how concisely, and how grammatically. It also gives the teacher a little bit of leeway when figuring grades. The teacher can give more credit to a student who has been working hard but the material simply doesn't come easily to, who is on the borderline of passing and failing. The teacher can also point to the question, left undone, by a smart student as a reason to NOT push that grade up that hundredth of a percent. [/QUOTE]
