Houston Chronicle: Test your knowledge on the streak

Yea I missed 7 too, 73%.

For some reason I guessed Rafer scored the first points of the streak simply because I just imagined him chucking up a 3 on the first play of the game. My instinct told me go with Yao, apparently I need to listen to that more instead of that stupid bunny.

68%. Better than I ever did in Chemistry...

....which maybe explains why I'm not on the Rockets roster.

I got an 86%.

How in the world were you supposed to know the NASA question and I guessed Alston for some reason for the first question.

Cheater!

for what? just by updating the signup sheet?
the only thing i got out of it is the record and just a glare at how many times we scored over 100 and how many opponents scored over 100 against us
i would probably guess it right
Yao scored first and that Jay Leno thing are lucky guess
i think everyone here should get at least 13 correct

The nice thing about multiple choice is that more often than not, good guessing will get you at least 65% regardless of how much you actually know. I really have no idea why MC is so popular in education still unless it's just laziness on the part of teachers.

I have several friends who are teachers, and they HATE multiple choice. They all agree that it is a horrible format that does not really assess students' knowledge.

The only reason why some of them have to use this format is because the TAKS tests (and other standardized tests) are multiple choice. Teachers have to accustom students on the strategies involved in taking these kinds of tests.

Lame, huh?

Muy lame. Also I know a bunch of teachers too, and most of them hate it as well. For some reason when i wrote that, neither that fact, nor asking them if and why they used it occurred to me. Maybe I'm the lazy! :guitar:

(hell, I've probably already asked it and just forgotten and gone back to saying whatever's on top of my head)
