ecent era, there are many ways to

. It always debated that traditional assessments are not the best fit for analyzing academic performance. In my opinion, PowerPoint presentations and testing based on practical knowledge

academic excellence.

Firstly

, Pen and paper-based examination purely

test

a person’s memory capability not what he/she capable of. Powerpoint presentation helps the students to present what they have understood

moreover

presenting slides needs lots of background research.

For instance

, according to the recent survey done by the university about 80% of students understands the

topic

but they might forget the keywords and fail to present in the theoretical exams. So, its ideal to assess a candidate based on an understanding of the

topic

.

Secondly

, old, patterned assessments do not allow students to express their thoughts related to that particular lesson they force them to comprehend ,keywords which are asked in the

test

. It is difficult to assess a business management student on marketing skills theoretically because it is difficult he/she might be good at convincing customer orally . For

this

reason, many business schools assess their student based on group discussion and live project . Overall, Being in the technologically advanced world we are still following the outdated testing process by which we could assess skill appropriately. Powerpoint present helps us to assess overall understanding of the

topic

and assessing based on real-time performance

such

as group discussion and live projects.
