4wildberrys Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Is it true that the upper levels of MUS---Algebra on up---have tests that are only multiple choice?? I read this somewhere, and then looking at the samples online it looks this way. Is this a bad thing? :confused: It just seems so strange.

I read this somewhere, and then looking at the samples online it looks this way. Is this a bad thing? :confused: It just seems so strange. Yes and yes. This is a topic that causes a lot of contraversy on this forum. If you search the forums for MUS, I'm sure you'll find more than you want to know. I have taught MUS's alg/geo and pre-alg and pre-geo and followed it with Foersters alg and either Jacobs or CD geo. There is absolutely no comparison in material covered. But.....there are those that swear by MUS and your search will take you to them. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunshine State Sue Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 We just finished MUS Algebra and each of the 34 lessons has a multiple choice test with it. There are 3 unit tests and 1 final test that are not multiple choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenaj Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 I just always assumed that MUS did their high school levels that way because that was the format of the math questions the student will see on the ACT/SAT. It doesn't seem to be a large problem to me - they still have to know how to solve the problem in order to get it correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't use Math-U- See, but just wanted to comment that this is the response I got from a friend who is a college math prof. when he asked me about the tests in Foerster's.

QueenCat Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 The weekly lesson tests are multiple choice (great ACT prep!). The unit tests (every 10-12 lessons) are not multiple choice. The final is not multiple choice. This is the case for Algebra 1 and 2, and Geometry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
