But a big part of creativity is called divergent thinking.

The opposite, where you're raising all sorts of ideas.

And these standardized tests, which sort of narrow your focus into one concept, you lose a lot of this creative thinking.

So I know that it's harder and a lot of professors complain that it's very hard to grade or to devise these open-ended tasks.

But I think at least 50% of your grade should be open-ended.

And then you could sort of tap into these two abilities and hopefully inspire creative learners and not just these robots who know how to choose an answer.

But then, I mean, if you think about it, David,

Life is open-ended.

I mean, usually you don't have one correct answer.

It's pretty rare.

And we want to encourage at least half of the time, optimistic maybe, these sort of tasks that mimic real-life situations.

I mean, they're going to get job interviews.

They're going to have dilemmas in their life, which won't be choose the best out of these four answers.

Exactly.

They do use that.

And I think it's easier.

That touches upon the problem.

It's just a lot easier to chick-chick, scan it, and get 100 scores all at once.

Yeah, I think that's a tough sell.

And that's exactly why I said 50%, not to go straight for the 100%.
