What do you think of education without exams?

Examination is a must in old conventional system of education because you have to draw a line somewhere between the people who know and who don't know. This is coercive and easy due to the study program purely based on course work.

When we come to the modern educational system comprised of mainly Research work and partially course work then there is a schedule of assessment through assignments and and small tests of course work. This system is on the philosophy of developing skills of the students to learn and through certain assignments students can easily be assessed. Contrary to it in Course work certain information is transfered to the student which can not easily assessed without taking examination.

Exams do measure performance and will probably never be superceeded. However there appears to be more of a move to using "coursework" over a period of time as a means of monitoring learning/performance without putting stress on students during exams which conventionally are a "one off". We know that, historically some indviduals suffer from exam nerves and their subsequent results are not truly indicative of their knowledge base. I feel that the answer is somewhere between the two, use coursework as an appraisal and have a series of shorter "tests" (as opposed to exams) throughout the term. There are occasions when exams as a "stand alone" method of checking learning don't allow time for remedial action to be taken, coming, as they do at the end of term. The "other" method gives ample opportunity for teachers/assessors to indentify shortcomings and take the necessary and appropriate actions to put things right. 

Assessment is compulsory for every thing if you want to do well. 

Education without exams may result into poor quality outcome. Learns should be examined so as to grade them

Education without exam is just like a body without soul

In education with examination how we can judge a student that how much he able for a education. Can he educate well . And other side it's a evaluation for a teacher that how much he were involved in student learning

Education without examination supports more intellectual and philosophical approaches to life and subjects that students are taking. But at the same time, it can lead to unlimited possibilities of ideas and insights that may become out of context in practical life.

Meeting of the company without performance appraisal

A great question and hope I can contribute to the discussion.  The format of examinations suit the assessment of some skills and people more than others.

Summative examinations are common 'go-tos' to provide assessment that can be prepared for and delivered easily.  But performance can be measured through different methods that offer an assessment of performance for example: skills assessment during practical demonstrations; interviews where questioning can assess a student's understanding; project work and task completion, etc.

But for assessment to be meaningful, there needs to be mapping against standards and meaningful feedback.

Why not? Education without exams,I think its  a good idea , specially for young students. About me personaly  that I have more than enough skills and abilities to know  the student level already before exams which is last way that I used to measure performance.

Exam is also proofing the level of us. But in the work we have activities not proofing documents
