STILL NOT CONVINCED?
I KNOW, YOU’RE THINKING:
I need an examination In a controlled environment With time limits That tests course content
Doesn’t prepare them for University Yes, they don’t do this stuff Well, it’s not that important,
waste of time More important skills They have 60% exams Won’t prepare them for Uni
WELL,
It is an examination It is; it’s one on one It’s got ‘em It does
Are you completely sure about that? They do now 80-90% graduate with an
offer; 92% of grads placed for summer
Top skills demanded are used Not as much any more 84% of us have no degree

CONSIDER THIS…
WOULD YOU RATHER:
Write up a brand new assignment?
Modify your exam for each new semester?
Spend 20 minutes marking a student’s work?
Have to mark at home on your own time?
Sit for several hours in an exam setting?
OR WOULD YOU RATHER:
Use the one included with the outline?
Never really need to modify it ever again?
Spend 20 minutes with the student?
Mark in the interview during your work day?
Be finished with this course on the last day of classes?
Think about it
