Tests in my CS classes are free response for the most part. Some definitions are tested via multiple choice.
I would say the standards in college are pretty good as far as how the classes are taught and the testing. I mean, PhD's are teaching, they have also done research or are actually still conducting research.
That is different from a High School teacher and students which has possibly only a BA in education with a respective concentration like the sciences or history etc.
The standards in high school though are not as demanding as they could be. Then again that's not taking into account most AP classes which I haven't taken. As well as some science classes that I didn't take.
But then if standards were to be risen, I'm sure failure rate would increase. So I guess the questions is how do you raise standards without increasing failure rate.
