Nicely written. But isn't a corollary that we should stop exams in Maths (and Physics/etc/etc) degrees and just teach people who want to learn, how much they want to learn?
Exams are for people designing bridges and doing surgery. Basic science just learn and start doing some to see if it is for you.

If you're someone who "just wants to learn" and don't care for the rigor of a full Math/Physics curriculum, that's one thing. But if you do care, exams are great.
