Why it is necessary to take annual examination of students?

Answer 1

for two reasons.

one, to make sure the teacher is doing their job by teaching the student and giving them the grade they deserve (whether good or bad)

two, to see if the student learned what they needed to learn.

Answer 2

There needs to be some way of assessing whether or not the students have learned the material presented and, so far, the exam is the best way of doing it.

I took a few courses, once, with a great teacher who didn't have papers and exams and such and I learned a whole lot more because I was able to concentrate on the material rather than making sure I wrote everything down to study it later. But I was interested in the material and he was a good teacher. If I wasn't interested in the subject and/or he was a bad teacher, I wouldn't have paid much attention or learned much.

Also the teacher needs to be accountable. If, for instance, the teacher didn't like me, he might have given me a bad grade in that situation and there would be no way to prove whether or not the grade was justified.

It's not easy, but it's the best we've got so far.

Answer 3

You need to see who is behind the pace, who is at the right pace and who is ahead of the pace in order to determine the next step for each group.

Students who need extra help can't get it unless you determine who they are. Students who are capable of more advanced work can't be given more challenging work unless you know who they are.

Testing is not the only way to determine this -- butit is an effective tool.
