It would be better and there will be a higher rate of hardworking students and more socialism in class

 @9JFY8T5Libertarian from Michigan disagreed…4mos4MO

Tale as old as time. One or two kids will ending up doing all the work. Exams should only be a competition against yourself.

That may be true early on, but group projects being the norm will disincentivize the behavior over time. Nobody likes a freeloader who chooses to be that way.

 @9JFY227Republican from Tennessee agreed…4mos4MO

Rather than having standard tests, having students work together would teach better social skills and show students that more minds working together can achieve greater things. It can also show students where their weaknesses and strengths lie and what kind of person they can work well with.

 @9JK5749Democrat from Maryland agreed…3mos3MO

This will allow kids to see the benefit in working hard as well as getting more practice in working with others.

Maybe it will be better for the students to do projects but at the same time i think the exams are necessary

 @9JFF38RDemocratagreed…4mos4MO

Exams show you what you have learned and the projects allow you to build your understanding of the subject.

 @9JF9XTW from Texas disagreed…4mos4MO

Collaborative work means one student does not have control of their results which can be unfair to high achieving students.

 @9JDFWGK from Florida answered…4mos4MO

Students will be more inclined to help eachother. When they see different ways and methods of learning and figuring out problems it can expand their skills.

 @9JF22K7 from West Virginia agreed…4mos4MO

I thinl exams are not the way to judge a students "grade" because not everyone is a good test taker and there needs to be other options

 @9JDH84QRepublicananswered…4mos4MO

More will get done and it will be more useful to people rather than being to much to take in

 @9JDFRNB from North Carolina answered…4mos4MO

There should be other options instead of taking final exams, but I don’t think it’s group projects, because it is hard to tell who actually tried and did work.

 @9JDFQW5Peace and Freedom from North Carolina answered…4mos4MO

Exams are good to test the students but another choice should be offered for students who are not good test takers and struggle

 @9JDG266 from California answered…4mos4MO

Socially it would be beneficial because in most workplaces it takes a team for a company to be successful, thus teaching real-world skills. Ethically it would promote students who are academically and socially unfit for real-world jobs.
