Formal examinations are the only effective way to assess a student’s performance. Continual assessment such as course work and projects are not satisfactory way to do this. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?
People often consider that one of the effective methods of measuring students’ performance is through formal assessments, but can we underestimate the role of projects and coursework?
Although
regular exams play a vital role in such
evaluations, I think we should not overlook projects and course work that measures practical knowledge. This
essay will refute why we should not ignore such
informal assessments.
Firstly
, informal projects and assignments usually probes into the hidden talents of students
. These areas measure skills, which are often ignored Suggestion
the students
in formal
assessments. Formal exams, not formal
informal
for example
, may dissolute traits like research and interpretation that is
a significant students’ trait. Similarly
, many course
-works and projects require students to visit fields. Suggestion
courses
This
in turn helps students to build rapport with individuals and make them pragmatic, however
, formal examination usually ignores such
aspects.
Another benefit of informal examinations is that it is comparatively convenient than formal exams. For the reason that students need not physically attend exam halls, it can be concluded anywhere. They can, in fact, submit their assignments online, and in most cases, it is flexible. It is also
convenient because students may not require intensive learning hours as in formal exams, and as stated by some researches, it is an effective learning process, for such
informal assignments have higher retention ratio
.
In conclusion, since informal exams Suggestion
a higher retention ratio
measures
students’ unseen talents, help them in Suggestion
measure
relation
building, and as it is convenient, flexible and easier to retain, Suggestion
relationship
such
exams should be prioritized. I would, therefore
, prefer informal assessments over formal exams.
