In the last few decades universities and high schools have implanted a new system to evaluate the students, continuous assessment ,which consists of doing little tests throughout the course to check that the students have been studying every day. However is it the best system for education?
People supporting the continuous assessment say that it is the best method because it lets the teachers know which students study every day and which don’t , it's for this reason that the students who don’t study every day usually fail the exams and need to study more. Another positive point (perk) of continuous assessment is that the teachers can see the progressive evolution of students in all tests.
Opponents of continuous assessment defend that this system causes a lot of stress and anxiety on students and this can affect their health. Furthermore, this methoddoesn't allow students to enjoy themselves since it takes up most of their time.
To sum up ,we should admit that continuous assessment is a good system but maybe dangerous for the students' psychological health.
