Question on Cambridge test for Liberal Arts degree in 1802

[GreyGeek]

Equally interesting is the next question on the test.

I doubt that today a single Liberal Arts major could answer either question.

It says a lot about what was expected of Cambridge graduates 215 years ago.

I am lecturing in anatomy and physiology at an online college that uses this and ...

they are SO FAR BEHIND THE U.S. that they are AHEAD of the U.S. in terms of...

I read that over 50% of Yale and Harvard graduates do so with "Honors" or "High Honors".

I went from written tests to oral evaluations myself as a means of judging the progress of students in my college science classes. No cheating, no BS answers ... If I suspected that they were weak in an area I'd probe it more thoroughly. I'd record the results of the evaluation and give the student recommendations for further study. They'd get tested again in their weak areas, plus the new stuff. Those who were not performing to expectations were advised to use the drop & add before their GPA was affected.

At the HS level I used my computer to create a question pool from which I could produce 25-30 tests of equal difficulty but with different questions presented in different orders. Each test had its own grading strip, which I cut off the test before I handed it out. It stopped the jocks from not coming to class on test day and then extorting the answers from the nerds that night.

But, the big challenge was making class interesting and educational at the same time. But, with science and math that was easy.
