...I wonder if this is true. "Real work" sometimes requires you to perform in the moment. You can't always just pull an all-nighter to get it done if you're slow.
Also, the best way to do better on a test is to do homework to prepare for the test. And teachers can still assign homework to help students learn, they just can't necessarily use the results for assessment.
- nixpulvis 1y agoI guess tests are like being on call, supporting outages and the like, while homework more closely mirrors feature development. We also had a number of group assignments and labs which required on-demand work but were more project based than tests. My main point is that while testing knowledge in small bits is useful for grading, it's less where I got value as a learner.
