Paper tests every day, all day.

  Just takes your teacher much longer to grade and eats precious preparation time.

    What's worse, students cheating, or teacher spending time to prevent students from cheating?

      It's not like this feature was implemented by teachers. It will always be a tradeoff.
      • grayhatter 5y ago
        But this trade off breaks something, to fix something else that's broken worse. That's a bad trade.

          This is a feature. Nobody has to activate it. It's not broken when the function you consider breaking is off by default.

    I would be able to take all of this consternation over grading and preparation time more seriously if I had never taught in my life. Teachers' union members get small class sizes and assistants. Plus, it is not as if the material is soooo new and original every time. Grading paper tests is not hard. If it is multiple choice, grading is trivial. I am assuming these teacher's are not letting Google grade essay questions. If the past two years have shown anything, it is that there are a heck of a lot of teachers' union members will do anything to get out of the actual work of teaching. In the real world, the issue with this feature is that by making the idea that enterprise users gain security by prohibiting `view-source` commonplace and routine, Google and Microsoft are going to turn `view-source` into criminal activity soon. And teachers not wanting to do work is a convenient excuse. Writing a decent quiz application is a weekend project for any developer who does not need left-pad to pad a string. The key part is the content, the question bank. Almost all publishers have question banks to go with almost every textbook. Heck, some of us would actually read them and decide which ones made good practice questions and which ones did not.

      > If the past two years have shown anything, it is that there are a heck of a lot of teachers' union members will do anything to get out of the actual work of teaching. The teachers I know and I know quite many (basically the female side of my family consists of teachers) do not act like that. They try to come by with the sub-par software choices that were made for them. I agree that there are also many bad apples. The education system in Germany is especially well-suited for bad apples :( (non-terminable). > In the real world, the issue with this feature is that by making the idea that enterprise users gain security by prohibiting `view-source` commonplace and routine, Google and Microsoft are going to turn `view-source` into criminal activity soon. And teachers not wanting to do work is a convenient excuse. This is nonsense. There are much more restricting policies available. > Writing a decent quiz application is a weekend project for any developer who does not need left-pad to pad a string.
