The (rhetorical) question many teachers ask is whether students are actually
doing better or just getting higher grades on the logs (which can't be
equated with the exam for objectivity, of course)! This is not to say that
the exams are necessarily fair, and that's the dilemma we're faced with.
I don't think most teachers who choose the exam over the log do so because
they think it's less work; our concern is undue pressure from students,
parents and administrators regarding the grades we must submit.
When you look at it this way, it seems rather ridiculous to have a system
that contains such disparity with regard to assessing students' achievement.
Rumor has it that test results cannot be as good as log grades, and that's
part of the plan to "encourage" us to mark logs. If so, this is an example
of a choice that isn't choice (adjective intended)!
