If I go for more than 15 min without any questions or conversation I question if I'm being boring, or wasting time.
Class time is precious and I do kind of hate using it for tests... but some things are just best when you can... have a conversation.

@futurebird@sauropods.win @toba@zeroes.ca Hope you’re not in the minority but fear you are! When I was still teaching I had people who hadn’t done well in traditional ed. Main assessment was taped “professional discussion”. Student talked me through their answers. I asked follow-ups (& sometimes Qs to illicit what I suspected they knew but forgot to mention). I timestamped against curriculum and that’s what we handed in. Mind you I had cohorts of 12 not 200. You’d have to cull a LOT of busywork elsewhere to scale it!
