Do we know how we, as an institution, teach?

Last year we did a survey on grading habits of our faculty (N=215 respondents). . Here's the relevant paragraph:
"What is a typical exam like? For a typical exam, faculty reported the percent of the grade derived from multiple choice items is 29.7%, algorithm solving (e.g., completing an equation) 18.5%, essays 18.1%, short answer 17.9%, fill in the blank 7.1%, matching 3.6% or performance items (e.g., oral exam) 2.7%. Thirty one percent report they do not use open-ended items."
