A study of methods employed in conducting class work and examinations at the Virginia Polytechnic Institute

Abstract

The Committee on Instruction in Agriculture, Home Economics and Mechanic Arts of the Association of Land-Grant Colleges has undertaken a study of the methods employed in conducting examinations in all Land-Grant Colleges, hoping thereby to get some suggestions which will be helpful to the colleges, especially in connection with their efforts to improve the teaching of agriculture, home economics and mechanic arts. The writer was designated to make this study at the Virginia Polytechnic Institute, and has taken the liberty of extending the study to all departments of the institution offering class work, with the object of showing the actual methods used in each department and variations, if any, between departments.
