Should the schools cancel final examinations?

Some people believe that’s final examinations is the safest way to evaluate the amount the student had learned.

Others will defend the idea that is not effective, small quizzes and research project as continuous assessment is an alternative of keeping student involved and motivated, rather than massive information at the end of the period.

Note: if you have any statistics with reference, share with us.

I agree with that schools should cancel final examinations and replace it with continues assessment. Because, students forget many of information and that’s due to stress and pressure that the exam and family make it

Final exam seems to lead the education to focus on what to be prepared for the exams rather than the learning itself. It seems to be: “what’s for the exam?, “ how many chapters of the book?”, “ shall I ready this for the finals?” Deplorable, the goal is to pass the exams, learning is less important for that matter.

If we focus on the real, productive learning process, the future professional (doctor, teacher, pilot, fireman) will respond accordingly because he’s supposed to know the job. Yes! yet stressful, but a conscious work.

studying is a process, so the exam should be done in a process too. Then, is it fair to determine our future just in days, but we have studied in years?
