Today was my last day of exams for the semester! This is a very controversial topic. A lot of people believe that exams do not accurately reflect a person's understanding of the subject (due to the time time crunch, pressure, stress, etc), while others believe that those factors are necessary to demonstrate the student's understanding of the material.
