exams a waste of time

I think exams are important, but I hate when professors can't also take the time to make sure they work. I'm taking an anatomy class currently where the professor could hardly even make the questions make sense, and a couple of times I caught errors where the information in the question wasn't even correct. At times like that, I think it's impossible that those tests show anything about the students. I also hate when professors base your grade 100% on the final! I just have one more paper due tomorrow and one exam in the morning, and then this quarter is over! Yay!

I think exams are necessary. It shows how hard a student is working and if they are going above and beyond or just mozying. I'm tired of seeing all my classmates lay around like they've got nothing to do, and then complain about their grades.

well i don't think so i think exams are most important thing for everyone and their education too and i think that examinations are a required thing after you complete your education or courses so i dun think that this is a wasting of time..

it is really necessary even it is very untiring work.

yes definitely they are waste of time.

Merry Christmas! Exams are suppose to test what you have stored in your knowledge from the time you studied a particular subject. Written exams are not there to judge a persons ability. If you are so concerned about bringing up your ability in papers, You can actually do it, Store up knowledge as you learn, understand it and put it in your heart and remember them like mantra. even after 6 months or longer, if you keep knowledge in your heart, you will be able to put it in paper for less than 3 hours, further more you will be able to share it to any body, at anytime you please. Study by heart, kid, and be merry!
