Test security is a consideration. If you are afraid test items will be passed on to future students, you should use an essay test. In general, a good essay test takes less time to construct than a good objective test. For orally prepared restricted-response questions, remember that you will need to prepare individual questions for each student in advance or assign points to other learners who contribute to the answer asked of a specific learner.
