Some people believe that exams are an inappropriate way of measuring student’s performance and should be replaced by continuous assessments. Do you agree or disagree with this view?

Some people think that exams are not the only way to assess

students

’ performance and it would be more effective if there are any continuous assessments. I completely agree with

this

statement because sometimes a student has their own capability and is primarily talented in one subject. So, giving only an exam assessment is not enough to evaluate another potential.

First

of all,

students

are likely to be keen on more positive activities

such

as sports or arts recently. In

this

way, teachers could act as a facilitator in order to support

students

.

Moreover

,

students

’ potential could be increased by giving them many options to know their talent and focus on one subject or activity. In Finland,

for example

, all schools in Finland only have classes for short time and

this

particular gives

students

more time to gain and explore knowledge by themselves.

In addition

, there are many cases in which

students

feel depressed about the exam,

thus

it could affect their mental health.

Furthermore

mental health issue is substantially increasing especially for

students

.

For instance

, Korea has a tight education method as well as parents’ expectations of their children.

This

is clearly evident in why the suicide number in Korea is

growth until these days. In conclusion,

although

certain subjects may be assessed in the traditional manner, it would be balanced to assess a student’s ability based on work they have completed over the whole period of study rather than a single written exam.

Besides

that, government and parents should cooperate to support

students

not only in exams but

also

behaviour.
