@pathfinder @ahrimans_erbe @cynaq @actuallyautistic lucky you! I was naturally good at some subjects but had to work hard at others.
I've always been one of those people who tests well. Put a test in front of me, and I can pass it. Put a series of assignments in front of me...
Ooh! Look! A squirrel!

@AlisonW @ScottSoCal @pathfinder @ahrimans_erbe @cynaq @actuallyautistic my worst type of assessment was "team assessments" . even as a child I used to beg to be allowed do it alone. At university I especially hated it and found it unfair that I would be graded based on a team performance; I couldn't control anyone else's effort so how was that fair?
@niamhgarvey @ScottSoCal @pathfinder @ahrimans_erbe @cynaq @actuallyautistic
It absolutely isn't and I don't understand how anyone could think it a sensible option. By all means review how well or not people work in a team but don't make one person's results contingent on the (in-)actions of others. It's wrong!

At school and uni I detested "continuous assessment". Give me exams! I like exams! I know what time they end!
