Formal examinations are the only effective way to assess a student's performance. Continual asessment 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

These days education system is changed drastically and the methods of assessment are
also
 got changed. Few people think that regular
exams
 are required for performance measurement.
However
, few advocates that continuous homework and project
work
 is the better option for the same. In my ,opinion regular assessment is mandatory to judge performance.
This
 essay will discuss
this
further
 in upcoming paragraphs.
First
 and foremost, one of the main reasons is that if
students
 are getting homework on regular basis they get more
knowledge
.
Additionally
, By doing practical
work
students
 get more effective learning. Put simply, One student is having only theoretical
knowledge
 and once he has been asked to
work
 on a project which he cannot complete due to lack of exposure, On the other side the student who has practical
knowledge
 will get more score. Not only in
exams
this
 will help in the actual working environment and scholars do not need to stress much to fulfil their job.
On the other hand
, Formal examination helps teachers to check the ability of
students
, and how much they learned. But
this
 method has some adverse effects on
students
 like anxiety, lack of practical
knowledge
 etc.
For instance
, one of the
students
 was a really bright student but he has exam anxieties.
As a
result

 he was not able to complete his exam and got lower marks. Another

example
if
Add a missing verb
is if
show examples
 someone is sick in final
exams
 and not able to complete all the questions due to illness which can impact the scores.
Therefore
, only based on final
exams
 we cannot judge individual performance. In conclusion, I strongly believe that only final
exams
 are not the right approach for the assessment,
Knowledge
 should be judged with regular assessments and project
work
 which helps
students
 to get deep
knowledge
 and experience which will help them in future.

Support ideas with relevant, specific examples

Examples make your writing easier to understand by illustrating points more effectively.

Examples, if used properly, not only help you get higher marks for ‘Task Response’ but also for ‘Coherence’.

When giving examples it is best to put them after your main idea or topic sentence. They can be used in the middle of supporting sentences or they can be used to start a new sentence. There is no rule for where exactly to give examples in essays, logically they would come after your main idea/topic sentence or just after a supporting sentence.

Linking words for giving examples:

  • for example
  • for instance
  • to illustrate this
  • to give a clear example
  • such as
  • namely
  • to illustrate
  • take, for example
