Your Final Score: 15 out of 20=75%






1. Did the test evaluate your computer knowledge fairly? Why or why not?


For the most part it evaluated my computer skills but did so in a confusing way. The questions were too vague and could have hosted a numerous amount of answers. For example the question about what a search engine is could have also been “google” “search site” or some other name.



2. Were there any problems with the test? Did it accurately provide you with the answers?


There were some problems with the test. It defiantly did not provide me accurately with answers, or questions for that matter. Some of the outdated questions almost seemed like cruel trick questions.



3. What are the advantages of online quizzes?


One advantage is that there is a controlled in environment in which the test-taker cannot cheat, where the only available source is the test material in front of him on the screen. It also provides the ability for the test designer to make a random question generator so the test cant be consistanely cheated on.



4. What are the disadvantages of online quizzes of this type?


One disadvantage is if the test taker somehow does find out a method to cheat. Then that’s bad.



5. What types of assessments do you think can better evaluate student knowledge in computers?


Multiple choice is a assessment system that will better help the students understand the test and make correct judgments on obsolete answers.



6. Do you think online quizzes can be used in other classes?


I think that is certainly possible. If they should though, is a different matter.



7. Would you want to take an online quiz in other classes? Why or why not?


I would only like to take a quiz online in another class if that quiz was a short one. Taking a long quiz on a computer can be tiresome and fatiguing which may reduce performance.

Change 2009 The Youtube Video

change 2009 had some pretty amazing and eye opening things to say. I had no idea that India had more honors students than the US had kids. This makes the US seem like a lazy couch potato in comparison. But i think that this is due to a fact in statistics with one key difference. India has a population of just over one billion, yes that's 1,000,000,000. while the US has a populations of 307 million, or 307,000,000. Do the math. yes about three times more people. so although the Indian people may be very smart, there is another hidden many that aren't as successful as their fellow population, and those aren't spotlighted in the stats. so the fact is that there is noting to worry about. yay.
