hating exams
Examinations are a terrible way to assess anyone's intelligence. There should be nothing but coursework... Roll on summer holidays

Re: hating exams
exams are horrible but coursework does not assess intelligence either!

Re: hating exams
Well, first of all, are exams and coursework supposed to be testing for intelligence? If you trained someone enough, no matter what their intelligence, they would be able to answer as they were taught. How is that a measure of intelligence?

Re: hating exams
Examinations are just people's opinions, and they don't know you like your teachers do. If you panic you can write a load of rubbish! Even if you know the stuff, hate them.

Re: hating exams
So what would you do to assess what students have learned?

Re: hating exams
Dunno. Perhaps not assess them at all. Most people walk away when the going gets hard. What would you do? Exams?

Re: hating exams
I would ask the teacher to rate how each person does and their attitude to work. A bit like a school report but so that the school is accountable (I heard recently that an employer in America sued someone for giving a good reference to the person they employed and it was false). Of course there would have to be a national standard.
