在美国Governors State大学,按错一个号码不光是损失二角五分钱,而且会降低平均分数。这所在芝加哥附近的小型大学不久以前使用了让学生通过用电话进行多项选择试题考试的电话系统。花了两年时间发展这一用途的管理学教授多纳德·弗利克说学生拨一个专门的号码,然后通过按学生们电话键盘上的数字键来回答已记录下的多项选择问题。这种被称为“大嘴”的系统自问世以来就一直被人们使用。有四位教授已广泛地将它用于检测学生的工作之中。弗利克说,学心理学、管理学的各种班级的100多名学生已经利用该系统进行考试,他补充说,大多数学生对这种新技术反响是积极的。利用该系统进行了劳务关系测验的高年级学生格雷戈·斯克雷格说“大嘴”省去他到学校去的来回48.3 At Governors State University in the United States, pressing the wrong number not only lost half a dime, but also reduced the average score. The small university near Chicago recently used a telephone system that lets students conduct multiple choice exams by phone. Donald Flick, a professor of management who spent two years developing the application, says students dial a special number and then answer the multiple choice questions recorded by pressing the number keys on the student phone keypad. This system, known as the “big mouth,” has been used by people since its inception. Four professors have used it extensively to test students’ work. Flickr said more than 100 students in various classes of psychology and management science have used the system for exams, adding that most students respond positively to the new technology. Gretchen Craig, a senior student who conducted a service-relationship test using the system, said that Bigmouth saves him from going back to school. 48.3
