I’m sure you can recall a time when you were up late the
night before an exam, trying to memorize as many definitions and equations as
possible. For me, this was before my grade 12 Biology exam. I was extremely
nervous because my mark on the exam would determine whether or not I would
receive a significant scholarship from a University. This story ended happily
for me as I did well on the exam however, the test was not a fair
judgement of my understandings of the course. If asked to write the same exam a
week later, I probably would have failed. The point to this story is that the
test didn’t actually measure how well I knew the course content; the exam
measured how well I could memorize equations and predict the formulas that would be
tested. In reality, students have strengths and weaknesses that cannot
be evaluated solely through hand-written tests.
