Formal examinations are the only effective way to assess a student's performance. Continual assessment such as coursework and projects is not a satisfactory way to do this. Do you agree or disagree?

Many people believe that the formal examination is the most important manner which provides an efficient evaluation for

students

.

conversely

, teachers can not count only on continual assessments like coursework and projects to assess their

students

and I agree with

this

. Since it is necessary to evaluate the performance of every single

student

individually .

In addition

, it measures the outcome of knowledge which every

student

can keep in mind

at the end

of a year .

Firstly

, Teachers always need to assess the performance and skills of every singular

student

and

this

can not be achieved by continual assessment

for example

, projects are always performed in a group of

students

so the teacher can not be sure if everyone in the group makes an equal amount of work and search so the result can not be divided equally on a group of

students

.

Subsequently

, teachers can not count on projects without final assessments.

Secondly

, Examiners usually need to measure the total amount of information and the ability to understand every

student

but

this

could not be maintained by coursework .

for instance

, continual coursework can assure the presence of a

student

but it is difficult to assess the degree of his understanding and the capacity of his mind to contain all the knowledge received throughout the whole term . So , the formal examination is the only sufficient way for

student

assessment.

to sum up

, continual assessment is highly important to motivate

students

to persistent work and study but only the formal examination that the tutors can count on for efficient and qualified evaluation.
