Unfortunately, deep learning and the testing for deep learning have some factual evidence that are just the opposite of the author's own practice.
To test deep learning we have to get at the meta-objects that humans form of that subject and the only way to do that currently is essay testing. If you graduated in the 1980s and 1990s it was called blue-book testing for the blank blue books sold that just had pages of blank paper for such a purpose.
Multiple choice testing was chosen for IQ and SAT not for testing performance but to make grading tests faster as when SAT was originally applied during WWI they used it to separate officers from soldier grunts.
Or in short words Teacher interaction with the students meta-objects can at times indicate degree of deep learning.
Now hold on, let me give a twist. How would one test deep learning in a grad course in civil engineering? Since the meta-objects are going to be about building specific things we could have a contest to build a bridge that survives having so much weight applied. In fact, there are MIT classes that do exactly this way of deep testing and you can find the videos of it on Youtube(they are fun to watch).
Those are creative, are going to turn Higher ED upside down and go the interactive testing of human meta-objects rather than choosing to multiple choice test among other deep learning testing strategies.
