I feel like paper tests really challenge the knowledge of students because they have to study the material. Online tests make it easier for the student to cheat. But if you give the student less time on the online test it won't give them much time to look up the answer. Also, I feel like in much harder tests you need a little help when taking a test because it's already stressful enough. The students should get to choose which they are more comfortable with.

I think that having an option of either is a great solution. I feel that whatever makes the student  the most comfortable and focused is the best. I know many people feel very strongly against computerized testing, while many prefer that option to pencil and paper.

From my experience, online tests tend to make me stress more. I like having room to write, work problems out, or even brainstorm ideas. I think paper is better for tests.

A mix of both online and paper test can be beneficial to students, This way when they are forced to take one or the other they are not stressing over taking a test on a computer when they have never done so.

I think paper would be better because online test make it a little easier for students to cheat.

I think it depends on the test.  If it is a very lengthy test, it should be taken with pencil and paper.  Staring at a screen for a long amount of time and really make an individual feel tired or fatigued.  However, in some cases they are very convenient and can be graded much faster than a written test.

I feel that it can be done both ways.  I think that Math test should be done on paper, because the teacher can see what they missed in their work.  What the students need help with.  Any other subjects can be done online, but I would also recommend doing paper test to see what they missed.  I do believe that having practice test online is a great way for studying, because the student gets immediate feedback.

I think there is a place for both in education. Some tests require work to be shown which is easier using paper but some are fine as online assignments.

I like the idea of paper a lot better than online. Technology is very beneficial and convenient, but I think it is very important for students to know how to use a textbook, paper, and pencil. Technology is used with the majority of the things in a classroom anymore, so I think keeping tests on paper is the best thing for students.

I think that student's should have an option whether they want to take a test online or on paper. Everybody is different!

I think using good old fashion paper is the best option.  Technology may be beneficial for other things but when it comes to tests I still vote for the paper route.

I think a mixture of both is the best. I'm afraid of students forgetting how to write in the future with everything on the computer. Although, I do feel like some tests should be on the computer because technology is such a big part of our life.

13 02  Computer vs  Paper & Pencil Tests

# data[].attributes.body
From my experience when students are asked to take test online, they are more likely to rush through their work, and not take time to work out the problems. Therefore I fill like paper tests are more effective for the students.

I think that even though our society is moving into more technological phase, that we should still incorporate both kinds of testing. If we got rid of everything on paper, people would begin to think that writing is not important to our society; and vice versa with the use of online tests. Therefore the integrating of both should always be used.
