I have just looked a how the government is letting teachers mark their own work for A levels and GCSE in the pandemic again this year. I feel utterly disgraced at 45 years old at this tactic.
I sat a City and Guilds level 2 in Visual basic programming in 2002 and the marks were based on classroom pupils. The tutor copy and pasted all the code from mine and a genius who was in the class and pasted it onto the other students who knew hardly anything about VB and they all passed.
I went back did AAT and Maths, passed level 2 in AAT and level 3 advanced bookkeeping at a private exam centre. Cost me 100 to sit for the exam and the invigilation fee.
I feel so proud to be able to say I did not cheat and passed these exams.
In colleges Boris is talking about basing results on mock exams and course work.
What is fair judgement, a tutor who is able to manipulate results or an exam under invigilation.
I know I would rather sit the exam and pass or fail even if it costs 100 quid. knowing I am good enough or not.
Mock exams dont prove you are qualified if you dont sit under exam conditions.
I dont care what anybody says. I would rather pay and sit and lose and fail than walk round saying i have passed under false conditions. - AuthorPosts
