Examinations
Created | Updated Apr 8, 2002
OK this is what i think about exams.
(most of it involes four letter words, somtimes described as french)
But apart from that they are no good at testing the real human inside you, they are a long and tedious and incredibly stressfull form of memory test. I am dyslesic (you can tell can't you!) this means that in my case I have problems writing essays and keeping them coherent so all the stuff I do remember will probably be lost in the essays anyway. A much better way to asssess people would be verbale assement as from this you would be able to see that the person can rember understand and manipulate the knowlege that the have been taught, coursework is a half way house and is becoming much more popular.
