Examination as given by today’s students is only means of reproducing data on a piece of paper. You are supposed to write whatever you remember OR create your own concepts real time. You read the data and reproduce it within 2 hours of time. Why is this important? Will this create a good leader?
People when given a task in real life, will use the same concepts and logics which is expected by the examiner more efficiently. If the same set of people when asked to write these concepts on paper within 2 hours may fail drastically. There are complex set of students present in a class, some are not even able to express themselves in a casual open forum, some like me can’t stop talking, does writing an examination give the first type of students to speak up?
Personally I think it is a waste of time and energy. You don’t learn the concepts to replicate it on paper but to use it. If writing is so important, why not write a memo or a white paper instead? Atleast it gives more insight on the subject…
Is anyone listening?
