Many educational institutions have shifted their focus from traditional examination towards variety of innovative assessment techniques, as they believe traditional examination results are not often true to student's ability. To what extent do you agree with this?

Firstly

and understanding of the students towards the subject matter.

Also

, the open book exam is a good technique to judge a student’s understanding of the concepts.

Hence

, these approaches scrutinize a learner’s creativity, depth of knowledge and reasoning ability to use them in the real world.

From the aforementioned points, it can be concluded that, the educational institutions should not adhere to the old dogma and invite innovation in teaching methods or assessing students.
