i think multiple-choice-exams* are even better because they’re corrected by a machine by scanning the checkboxes and saying either “yes” or “no”. it’s 100% fair and also really effective.
I had so many horrible multiple choice tests where the number of correct answers was stated and I was 100% sure that that wasn’t correct, but there was no room for additional remarks to explain my thoughts.
Our exam system supports multiple choice and, indeed, collecting that part automatically. (We can still go through the boxes recognized as tick or blank en-masse to check for recognition mistakes.) However, they’re only allowed to make up 20% of an exam according to university-wide rules.

Multiple choice often fails to allow full demonstration of understanding, and especially at college level, that matters much more.
