Many faculty may hope
to subvert the system, but a variety of social structures work
against them. Radical experiments in teaching carry no guarantees
and even fewer rewards in most tenure and promotion systems, even if
they are successful. In many cases faculty are required to assess
their students in a standardized way to fulfill requirements for the
curriculum. Nothing is easier to assess than information recall on
multiple-choice exams, and the concise and “objective”
numbers satisfy committee members busy with their own teaching and
research.
