Wouldn't it be nice if there were no grades at all? If you are a high school student, or a postgraduate one, there are always exams, grades and evaluations that you have to fullfill.
This kind of matter is always on debate. I can agree with and accept the fact that there should and must be some form of evaluation for everything you do. Final exams, evaluation periods, etc. On the other hand, you can't create a proper result, based on a random test.
I'll give you an example to show what I mean. Suppose you are studying for the final exams for your master. You read the whole book, check every notes from the teacher and look for every available information you can find online about this specific subject. In the final exam, there are 5 questions that must be answered. If you can't remember, say, two of them, there is only 60% success. Istead, if there is a lucky guy that has read only these 5 questions, he will hit a 100%! I think this isn't fair.
So, the evaluation must not only depend on some randomly picked question, but on the overall performance of each student. As a result, there can't be any bad luck and you will be awarded respectfully.
