Check out David Joyner’s work at Georgia Tech:

One of the keys for me is how I get feedback. Multiple choice quizzes can be well-designed. Most are not. But they scale well.

Personally I like very challenging assignments, but with very lenient grading and partial credit, with lots of detailed feedback from the grader.

If you’re teaching a college course, maybe you have enough TAs to make that happen. You’ll see some of Dr. Joyner’s work is on scaling grading systems and feedback.
