Standardized Tests

I really thought that the Backstreet Boys song added much to the presentation...

Just kidding, but anyway-

Showing us the old SAT test was powerful because it made me realize just how subjective (stupid) the tests are even today. It's incredibly sad that the test has only had one major change since 1926 when it first came out. Videos are always nice for a presentation, so thanks for sharing a couple with us.

I'm a dork and love background information and history, so thanks for giving us some of that. You didn't go too in depth with the history, which I thought was good. Although I like learning about that sort of information, after awhile it can be mind numbing and I thought that the amount and way that you presented it was appropriated and successful.

Discussions are always fun. Writing both the pros and cons of SATs I thought was good because it helped me to think in both ways about the SATs. Some people really do believe that SATs are beneficial, so it's good to know what their arguments are (especially if we ever want to "take down" SATs).
