Switch to oral exam and you’ll know fairly quickly who is actually learning the material.
I agree with you for sure. However if I’m playing devil’s advocate … I think some people will fall under the pressure and perform poorly just because it’s oral rather than written.
I generally think that even if that’s the case that it’s an important skill to teach too, but I’m just thinking of contradictions.
Oral would suck for the transition students. It’s a completely different style and skill set of answering questions and no kid would have training or the mental framework on how to do it. It’s great if you’re the kind of person who can write a mostly perfect draft essay from start to finish no skipping around or back tracking, but if that’s not you, it’s gonna be a rough learning curve. This is before we ask questions like how does a deaf person take this exam? A mute person? Someone with verbal paraphasia?
Biggest reason for written exams is bulk processing.
There are many better ways to show competency, ask any engineering or medical school, but few as cheap.
