Final Analysis--Rethinking an Age-Old Practice
Robert Becker
Kirkwood High School, Kirkwood, MO 63122
Cover
September 1995
Vol. 72 No. 9
p. 816
Abstract
The typical Chemistry final exam is usually a high-stress situation taken under artificially restricted conditions and is often misrepresentative of the course for which it is serving as the ultimate evaluation tool. The author advocates the adoption of an open-book, open-notes, group work, lab-practical final exam format, a combination that has proven quite effective in the high school setting. Sample problems are offered and specific exam logistics are described.
