Open Ended Questions

In the past couple of weeks I’ve come across some blogs/articles that talk about open ended questions on physics tests. A great example of this can be found here at Physics! Blog! I think the idea behind this is to allow the student to showcase everything that they’ve learned and demonstrate a deeper understanding of the topic by applying their knowledge. I think this would correspond about 1/2 way up the cognitive domain in Blooms Taxonomy.
