<p>Haha^^ As a faculty member at another school for over 20 years, I can state with absolute certainty that MCQ tests are much easier to grade. Especially if you have them computer graded. </p>
<p>But I also agree that writing assignments and exams with written and/or problem solving parts do pave a ground for a better education. I never give only MCQ exams.</p>
<p>Interestingly, in the class I am currently teaching that I give MC, problem solving and written part on all exams, students often lose the most or a lot of points on the MC.</p>
