*******What has happened to the traditional cumulative final where students have an opportunity to demonstrate (1) learning of things that they had not understood and, most importantly, (2) to show that they can integrate material and see connections that may not have been apparent earlier?
By the way, this kind of exam would be in essay and short-answer format. Sincerely, Stuart**** I use assessments other than exams that I feel better demonstrate the aspects you pointed out. I find one of my weaknesses as an instructor is writing exams, so I feel less comfortable using them as a majority of my students' assessment. Raechel N.
