Another is the impact on the environment.Even a small increase in overall efficiency of U.S. commercial and industrial buildings wouldreduce the U.S.’s carbon footprint significantly.Currently, the U.S. workforce is not adequately trained in the area of energy efficiency. TheDepartment of Energy recognizes this fact and is attempting to remedy this with programs suchas the Energy Efficient Buildings Hub and the continued support and recent expansion ofIndustrial Assessment Centers 2.

However, these factors are all subjective, and depend onthe educator. It is therefore, not surprising that no consensus exists among educators on the mosteffective type of exams1.From students’ perspective, open-book-open-notes exam is preferred to closed book exams2 dueto decreased test anxiety1 that comes with the former. Most students believe that take-homeexam, cheat-sheets, and open-book-open-notes exams help to increase exam scores and decreasetest anxiety1. Some students also complain that take home exams are time consuming, due to thenature of exam questions. Take home exams

Each new trial involves new questionsthat have similar difficulty levels to the previous trial. Therefore, if the student retake a trial,his/her grade will be reduced in the successive trials. The student will not receive a grade untilhe/she successfully solves the trial or exhaust all the trials. In other mastery applications,resubmission would involve an assignment or evaluation instrument that is slightly harder thanthe previous one; therefore, students who resubmit do not receive a reduced grade.
