In our math classes our tests were the way to evaluate us. For math if you understood the material you did better compared to memorizing and regurgitating information. In our history class our tests were memorize, regurgitate, then forget. Those types of evaluations don’t work well because for some students they won’t learn from that sort of teaching. I believe history should be an open book. Most people have access to google, they can easily look up dates or questions and they can get answers. I personally never memorised information in history class. I tried to understand and make connections so I could remember it long term, if i forgot then I forgot. I didn’t want to waste time studying then forgetting immediately.
