I wanted to give my 120 students more options on testing that better suited a range of learning/testing styles. In discussing it with my bff at CU, I found out that Dr. Lisa Flores uses this in her class. She has given me permission to share the result of her labor, so borrow away! (Yes, more grading, and not as viable in lecture hall classes, but I'm sick of the banking model of education principle that all students receive / process / and regurgitate information the same way). This test is designed for a T/Th class, with 75 minutes to complete.
Each test is given out with a cover sheet, with a signature line next to each of the five options. The student has to sign the one they are agreeing to, but can otherwise look through the whole test before deciding, then the coversheet is either returned with the multiple choice paper copies or with the blue book they used.

Hi! Just wanted to add that in Lisa's model, students can change their mind at any point up until the moment they turn in the test. So even if they do most of the test intending to do option 1, then in the middle of writing a third short answer realize they'd do better with one of the essay prompts, they can just switch gears. Or they answer a short answer, decide they'd rather not sit and answer two more, they can switch to the objective only and what they wrote in their blue book goes disregarded. Cool!
