Do you prefer more tests or less?

MORE, DEAR GOD, MORE!!!

My classes have two tests and maybe a paper, so each exam is 40% - the first, you're sort of getting to know the professor's style, how they ask questions, what they emphasize. So imagine my surprise when a med surg test has more questions on cultural considerations than ABGs and nursing interventions (because that's just her style - lesson learned the hard way). Plus, the more questions - the more forgiving it is if you get a few wrong. You have some leeway. I bombed my last test I have to ace the next one just to end up in the B range, which is really a tall feat. I would love a few more tests with more questions so I don't have to worry about getting five questions wrong and flunking the semester.

I preferred how my nutrition class was set up. A 10 question quiz every week (13) over power points and lecture from the previous week, a presentation, project, and a final that consisted of 100 questions taken from the quizzes. No tests other than final. My mental health nursing class has a test every 3 chapters.

More tests and quizzes. My fundamentals class has 4 tests and a final. And a ton of quizzes. The quizzes can make you have that .1 of a point you need to pass or the difference between an A and a B.

Just more in general. I have a class that has a three-page paper, a five-page paper, and a midterm, each worth 30% with "participation" being worth 10%. Really? 30% of my grade for a 3 page paper?

More! Some classes are harder to know how to do well in until it's too late! I also think the grade shouldn't be dependent on just test scores. That is not indicative of how much you've learned! All the papers, assignments, quizzes, etc should help too.
