<p>Well, don’t some of them just do “quizzes” (basically a mid-term) and then a final, with some of the problems being multiple choice and some being non-MC problems? The difference is there are less questions/problems overall, where chem. 1310 may have 20-25 MC. That’s what I saw. I can send a link. It is possible to grade that, my largest class was 175 people, the midterm and final were essay based. The prof. and his single TA read them all and even graded quite harshly. Gen. chem. has upwards to 125 students and a single prof. grades half the exam. Some bio classes have close to 100 students and they choose to do completely short-answer/essay/case-study exams (and they make all 100 of the students do casework in and out of class, so it is possible if the profs. are dedicated/willing to). Note that the profs. for gen. bio or chem. have no grad. TAs to grade. Surely organic chem. at Tech does not do multiple choice and I bet those classes have high enrollment (though admittedly, you guys’ orgo. exams are a lot shorter). </p>

This looks like some non-MC problems to me. Have they changed since then?<br>
