“I would guess that nobody in that group will forget what the right answer is for a long time.”
You don’t need a paired assessment for that, I got a C in Spanish because of one test where I didn’t know one word. I still today know what that word means.
“Many of the problem sets (our affectionate term for homework) at MIT are designed to be worked on in groups”
Right but MIT goes on to further say:
“In some cases, the entire course is weighted towards exams so that psets are seen as a learning tool. In other courses, psets are a substantial portion of the final grade.”
So in some courses the psets are given no weight, and the grade is determined, guess what, by individual exams.
I don’t think colleges do paired or group exams right? And even if they do, high school seems a little early to start paired assignments on an actual exam where you have wide differences in skills even in an AP class.
