I teach in two schools and I have taught the log option and the exam so I can
compare. What I do not understand is why so many people think that doing the
exam is so much easier and so much less work. The 2 options have the same
components - both options have to have all 7 of them - there has to be a grade
for the summative assessment and the 30% graded task, worksheets etc have to be
done for basic understanding, analysis, interpretation, bridging has to be
done and a reflection etc so, IF it is done to specifications as it should be,
the exam certainly is not less work than the log. The only difference that I
have seen is that once the unit is done and the grades written in the grade
book, the teacher does not have to worry about whether the student loses the
work or keeps it safe to hand in at the end and rubrics do not have to be put
in the files. Granted, there is the final checking of logs but if the work has
been done properly all the way through, it is an overview check and the
teachers are paid for this. So why is the exam considered to be so much less
work and even a "cop out"?Â
