note = "We present a method for measuring learning outcomes in five upper-level classes using multiple-choice tests. This method requires the application of course content to the interpretation and analysis of unfamiliar literature to determine instructional effectiveness. We conclude that five carefully designed multiple-choice questions can adequately cover a range of levels of understanding in interpreting an abstract's content, even though instructors might prefer more questions.",
