Formal examinations are the only effective way to assess a student's performance. Continual assessment such as course work and projects is not a satisfactory way to do this. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?
Students are evaluated on the basis of various forms of examination throughout their academics. It is argued that the traditional pattern of conducting exam is considered to be a reasonable method to figure out a student's ability whereas frequent tests which include assignments are not an ideal way. I somehow agree with the latter part of the argument
however
, both have their merits and demerits to some extent.

Consequently

On the contrary
, regular assignments and projects will keep them in touch with their syllabus. Linking Words

For instance
, a group of students engaging in a weekly group project would learn better and would develop an interest in their academics.
To sum up, the continuous assessment would be considered an effective method of learning than the formal way of giving an exam at the end of the semester. Linking Words
