Big three Alternatives?
#14
Maniac Craniac Wrote:This whole idea of testing out of an entire degree is pretty ridiculous. These tests have their place, and some of them do exactly what they claim to do, even if most don't. However, I think that a completely multiple-choice degree kills the credibility of what would otherwise be a great service from the Big 3. Knowledge* and education are not synonyms. School isn't about what you know, but about the work that you put into your studies. It disappoints me to see the statement made that passing a CLEP is the equivalent to passing a course. Sure the credits are the same, but do you REALLY gain as much out of clicking a few answers on a single test (a multiple-choice test, where the answer is actually GIVEN to you) as you would by doing dozens of hours of research, writing dozens of pages of papers, or doing hundreds of paper and pencil problems?

*Especially when that knowledge is often completely lost within just a few days of passing an exam.

you do know you can go class ,complete all the work and still forget what you learned.
