Would this be a good physics final


One extremely hard question which someone has three hours to do. Would this a good final exam for a freshmen physics class? Would this be a good exam for any physics class?

For freshman physics? God, I hope not. A final should be a cumulative knowledge barometer. At least the one I am taking on Monday will be.

I don't think it's a good idea, because it's difficult to measure how well each student managed. You should think of a test with several questions with increasing degree of difficulty. To me that should be a good evaluation.
