Man tell me about it, the educational system is so bad... I have spent 4 years at University and half of it a can't even remember because you're taught to just cram for exams.
There definitely needs to be a shake up, I don't particularly like large portions of coursework either as I think it's arguably too easy and University should force you to excel and try to be the best of the best, but the crammed exam culture certainly isn't perfect either.
Are your exams split between the year? At my University they were tempted to introduce January exams alongside summer ones too, but they didn't in the end.
I think that'd potentially help retention, along with maybe throwing in 20% of previous content into new exams, to ensure you still make sure you know it all going forward and can't just pass it and forget.
" half of it a can't even remember because you're taught to just cram for exams." - i was just writing a post about this ahahah
I have 1 month of exams in january and another month in july, we end up having 2 or 3 exams in 3 days... how can my brain even change gears between the different subjects in 1 day! I have exams about the theoric part, the practical part and sometimes even of the laboratory part, so 1 subject can have 3 different exams...
