IV. c. Objective type of examination does test knowledge.

Examinations are a very common assessment and evaluation tool in universities and there are many types
of examination questions. Objective tests are appropriate when: a.) the group to be tested is large and the test
may be reused; b.) highly reliable scores must be obtained as efficiently as possible; and c.) impartiality of
evaluation, fairness, and free from possible test scoring influences are essential. Objective tests can be used to
measure almost any important educational achievement a written test can measure, test understanding and ability
to apply principles, test ability to think critically and test ability to solve problems. The capacity of objective tests to
assess a wide range of learning is often underestimated. Objective tests are very good at examining recall of facts,
knowledge and application of terms, and questions that require short text or numerical responses. They can, for
example, significantly reduce marking time and analysis of individual questions is more feasible. This allows
teachers/tutors to quickly identify areas where only a few candidates respond correctly or where most candidates
choose the same incorrect option and try to correct any misconceptions. Also questions can be more easily pre-
tested in order to evaluate their effectiveness and level of difficulty.

f. Same sex marriage should not be allowed in the Philippines.

Same-sex marriage should not be legalized due to its harmful effects on societal order, the Constitution,
and traditional religious values. Many people think that variety is the spice of life, but that is not always necessarily
true. In a recent study, the assessment of populations of adults, both who lived in a home with heterosexual
parents, and those who lived in a home where either one or both of the parents had been in a same-sex
relationship in their lifetime. The results were astounding. A higher percentage of children who had parents with a
past same-sex relationship used marijuana, smoked, were arrested and convicted for non-minor offenses, and
thought about suicide. Also as a direct result of same-sex parents, children are deprived of either one or the other
of their natural parents. When children are raised in a home without a father, the odds of an unhappy life go up.
The same goes for a mother’s absence. The Philippines is principally a Christian country, particularly a Roman
Catholic nation. Although there is a separation of the church and the state, the lawmakers of the Philippines
consider morals derived from the Bible in legislating laws. If the Philippine government will legalize same-sex
marriage, it would violate the religious freedom and the long-held morals of the majority. Homosexuality is
considered a sin according to the Holy Bible as said in Leviticus 18:22 which says “Thou shalt not lie with mankind,
as with womankind: it is abomination”. This would mean that gay marriage is an abomination in the eyes of the
Lord. It goes against His intended design for us, for a man and a woman to be united in holy matrimony. This is
according to Mark 10: 6-9 which says “But at the beginning of creation God made them male and female. For this
reason, a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife and the two will become one flesh so they
are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore, what God has joined together, let no one separate”. What God’s will
is, let no one go against. Homosexual couples are same-sex; therefore if a gay or lesbian couple would decide to
have a child, they could opt for in vitro fertilization or hire a “baby-maker”. This would render their children lacking
a mother or a father as the parents would be either both male or female. This is harmful for a growing child
because naturally and biologically, children long for both.
