GOAL

As part of the SCALE-UP concept, Dr. Beichner's team created a testing format to determine the level of understanding of concepts, rather than simply guessing at multiple choice questions or writing down everything you know about a concept and hoping some of it can be recognizable for partial credit.

Here is a link to the page that Dr. Beichner's students see about GOAL.  http://www4.ncsu.edu/~beichner/PY208/Docs/tips/Problem-Solving_Strategy.html

Additionally, this article may add some clarity to the purpose.  ftp://ftp.ncsu.edu/pub/ncsu/beichner/RB/GOALPaper.pdf
