Give them a multiple choice test where some, all, or none of the answers might be correct, rather than the usual "process of elimination" mode. To get the question right, you need to have filled in exactly all the right answers and none of the wrong ones.

Absolutely, I did that at the same time. As I said, it was most excellent!

My high school students bitterly complained that I never gave them multiple choice tests in my chemistry class. So I gave them one. All the answers were "B". They never complained again that year. It was most excellent!

ICANN Releases Draft For New TLDs 168

Posted by kdawson on Friday October 24, 2008 @12:28PM from the dot-whatever dept.

NdJ writes "Looks like a whole new domain name battle ground is about to open up. ICANN have just made available their How to Apply for a New Generic Top-Level Domain Draft Applicant Guidebook. It won't be cheap for the individual, but certainly achievable for many domain-name-pimps. 'The Evaluation Fee is designed to make the new gTLD program self-funding only. This was a recommendation of the Generic names Supporting Organization. A detailed costing methodology — including historical program development costs, and predictable and uncertain costs associated with processing new gTLD applications through to delegation in the root zone — estimates a per applicant fee of $US185,000. This is the estimated cost per evaluation in the first application round.'"

Submission + - Juror from recent RIAA trial speaks

Damon Tog writes: Wired posted some quotes from a juror who took part in the recent RIAA trial. Some interesting statements include:

"She should have settled out of court for a few thousand dollars," Hegg said. "Spoofing? We're thinking, 'Oh my God, you got to be kidding.' "

"She's a liar," added Hegg, who just returned home following his 14-hour night shift.

"She lied," he said. "There was no defense. Her defense sucked."

"I think she thought a jury from Duluth would be naïve. We're not that stupid up here," he said. "I don't know what the fuck she was thinking, to tell you the truth."
