Thank goodness for teachers like you! Nothing I hated more as a student than multiple-choice "from the textbook" tests. What a waste of my time. A good, open-ended test is a chance to learn, and though some will complain, there are students who appreciate it.
I find university to generally be below my ability as a student, mostly on account of grade inflation (lead by private universities actually), which I see as a major problem. 'A's are now the most frequently given grades at the university level and the vast majority of students expect a C simply for showing up to class.
Well, Justin, you sometimes don't get what you think you get with prestige universities where everyone is just so excellent. At our good old public university you are still free to fail. Over the past 10 years, in my upper division class (juniors, seniors) in question an A has been earned by 22.7% of the 220 or so students. And that's how you fight grade inflation, one faculty member at a time.
