Incontrast to cooperative learning, traditional testing methods have no correlation with engineering practiceand assess only a limited set of lower order cognitive skills under unrealistic conditions. The wholeargument for active and cooperative learning is lost at the critical step of assessing student performancewhen traditional testing methods are used.
