[quote=Anonymous]I went to a very competitive college and only took maybe one final exam in four years. Most of my courses required research papers or something similar. (Note I was not a math or science major so maybe it’s different in those courses.) But doesn’t the AP function as a final exam for most Advanced HS classes? I don’t remember final exams in any of my HS classes but I definitely remember the challenge of recalling and synthesizing all that information for APs. I don’t really have a view on the grading question, except that I feel like every generation has complained that grading is too easy for the younger generation. It’s kind of ironic—it’s easier to get good grades but much harder to do anything with them, as the college and job market are so much more competitive![/quote]
