    Effla quoted your last post but he is talking about your original post. (hence the term "your OP"

    Oopsy daisies,
    yeah just got that now!

    The reason i've come back to this is cause a mate of mine saw this and was wondering if it was me.

    Also someone refered to this and me as being "trollish" after me poking into what many people believe is true, regarding to the mature students.

    After rereading it all there were some good points made and some childish references to bad spelling.

    A lot of misunderstanding, some personal slights and again thought provoking posts.



    Everyone knows that a lot of naturally talented people can walk into a lot of arts exams and get over 40%

    Right?

    Now how are these same exams which a lot of people can get over 2 fifths without doing course work or revision, How are these exams adequate in determining what you know about a certain subject?
    Does this not go someways to proving the point that some arts subjects tend to be quite vague?


    I decided to post this here as i believe that it is in a way a follow on from the original thought.


    Cheers in advance for responding in a clear and non offensive manner. ;)

    In my own experience the continous assessment is what keeps me afloat in college. I DO need to study for exams, I tend to need to work harder for subjects based solely on exams. It really depends on the person I think, but I'd say most Arts subjects focus a lot on the continous assesment side of things, which is why people come out with over 40% in the overall module, we rarely get the actual exam results back.
