• A reply on Conversation: Do you think that examinations are an adequate way to determine the ability of students?

  May 3 2012: Yes it is only one of many ways but examinations do make up the most of the overall grade. I'm saying that too much relays upon the scores you get in your exams, such as whether a university will even look at your application, or whether or not you will be considered by an employer. There is not enough focus on other important factors like practical skills, how well you can present your ideas, applying your knowledge to a real life situation. It's all well and good answering a question about it on a paper but how would you fare with the problem in front of you?
