Maybe you know that the concept of multiple-choice tests in a Philosophy course is absurd. That's how I and most other Philosophy instructors view multiple-choice tests in our discipline, which demands rigorous reasoning demonstrated in cogent, tightly argued essays. I've taught Philosophy more than a quarter century, never once having used multiple-choice tests.

The concept of multiple-choice tests in a Philosophy course is no more absurd than my incredible idiocy at that time - I knew nothing and thought I knew everything, I had nothing to do when the world was before me, and I literally did not know what money was.

Youth is wasted on the young, so is an education for an idiot.
