Midterm: Satisfied :)

The number of my effort.

            Multiple choice type of test was the format of our midterm examination. It is considered as the most practical tool in terms of administrability, economy and scorability but it is also considered as the most challenging to make. It also tests the students’ higher level thinking or analytical thinking but most students guess their answers by looking at the options.

            I found the midterm hard because the options were well thought out. Even the distracters look like the correct answer. All the options are equally matched for each question. I can’t even guess. Students can guess but their guesses have little hope for correct answer. That is what it takes for distracters to be effective.

            It was easy to check the multiple choice type. The teacher just says the correct letter for each number. There was no need to be strict with the spelling, capitalization and grammar.

            I felt ashamed that I am a student of the Tarlac State University but I don’t even know our own mission and vision. I stared at my test paper for about 5 minutes. It was enough for me to realized that studying only the content of our lesson is not enough to accomplish the university’s vision and mission. A student should know the vision and mission to be aware of the university’s true target.
