The history of the author's experiences in testing and changes in evaluation philosophy are chronicled. Tests in her classroom have moved from solely paper-pencil, multiple-choiced/objective formats to include also lab performance evaluatiors. Examples of performance evaluations in both a traditional chemistry course and a consumer-level chmistry course are given. Analysis of test results rof students indicates the need to continue to include a variety of methods in evaluating student performance in science.
