> with free answer exams, they can still get partial credit

Rarely had a prof that had the patience for that, vs. a simple red X. Not arguing, it's just my anecdote of frustration.

I taught a lot of high school/junior high math for college students back in the day and typically the midterm exams and quizzes would get partial credit and the final was multiple choice. We had very specific rubrics for partial credit grading and this was typical of the classes that I took as well.
