I personally believe that paper testing is better. Only because it is what I grew up doing. I understand why some people may like electronic testing because it is convenient and most of the time you get your grade back right away but with paper testing, you can work out the answers on the paper and you have the paper right in front of you!

I believe that paper testing is better because it allows for the student physically work out their problems as well as you're able to underline certain parts of the question that confuse you. I can see how using online test can be beneficial for high school aged students however, I think paper testing is best for students in elementary school. I have worked with 1st and 2nd graders on computers and they hardly know how to login and get where they need to go. If they start out taking test on paper and slowly integrate themselves to technology I think that would be the best thing to do.

I think either way of testing can be better depending on the subject/ questions/ and preference. I personally like paper way more when taking a test. I think in math it is better to use paper for working out equations. For tests like grammar or science, it can be better to use technology. I believe the way that is better for testing depends on what the student prefers.

I feel that it really depends on the subject being tested and the group being taught. Paper would be the better material to provide in order to prevent cheating and encourage students to double-check their answers before submitting their test; however, most of our students will be living in a post-Covid world, so taking tests online might be easier for them and can help assist in unconventional students who can use the assistance technological tools can offer them.

I personally think that paper testing is always better since it allows students to directly work their problems, or show their thinking on the paper that's right in front of them!

Paper testing is better! This is of course an opinion, and there are many good sides to online testing. I just think that to get accurate answers that can be less persuaded to cheat, paper is the better option!

I think overall paper testing is better than digital. We are seeing more online testing nowadays rather than paper tests, but it is better for the student's education to take paper tests rather than digital. Electronic testing is typically more flexible and adaptable in terms of accessibility, but many students have learning disabilities or special needs that cannot be accommodated digitally. Paper tests can be more suitable for some disabilities but digital tests can not.

I think that paper testing is better because it allows students to physically do their work hands on. Sometimes on the computer it can make things confusing. Also being on the computer for a long period of time can create headaches and eye sight problems.

I believe that paper testing and using paper in general is better. There is no strain on the eyes and things are remembered better if they are written down.
