For many students, exams seem a necessary evil. Time-consuming yet inevitable. But are exams really necessary? In 2011, Macquarie University was the first Australian university to debate the abolition of exams. No exams in any subject, at any year level. At the time it was suggested that exams fail to develop “questioning, self-sufficient learners”. Critics also often argue that they promote a superficial understanding of topics, and that they are inauthentic. That is, they fail to represent the kinds of things students will be asked to do “in the real world”.
However, this is taking a narrow view of the benefits of exams. Exams include many of the aspects we want from assessment. Good assessment programs aim to provide a balanced, fair evaluation of each student. They achieve this in two ways. First, they use of a variety of strategies and task. This gives students multiple opportunities, in varying contexts, to demonstrate what they know and can do. It also enables teachers to be confident in the accuracy of their judgments about each student. Second, task must be fit for purpose. Each task should be appropriate to the specific goals it is assessing.
What is the main topic of the first paragraph?
exams seem like an evil thing to students
how schools treat students with exams
