Which is easier to pass, coursework or exam?

Question

hi i'm having a dillema, i can choose to do any course of my choice but one is basically coursework with few tests at the end while one is more of exam with a bit of coursework, which do you find easier to pass, one thing is, i love straight forward things if i have 20 questions i know they already have fixed answers and so i answer them its just a matter of learning but when it comes to coursework its not clear at all you might write 10 pages and your teach will just decide to cross it out, but maybe just dont get the secret, does anyone know which is better and which one should i do,i want as much answers. thanks

Answer 1

Well, depends on the class. If its an easy class you could always go for the exam based class if you want but if its difficult I would go for the coursework one cuz  if its difficult you can find time do the homework right, go over it, and/or compare answers with someone else. Also, if its a difficult class and the teacher knows it is difficult material and you do the exam based class he/she may curve the grade, but that depends on the teacher and mostly how many people do bad on the tests.

Answer 2

It depends very much on what kind of person you are, most people seem to prefer coursework, however it sounds like you are more like me and might do better with exams.

As you say, it can be hard to pick up all the marks in coursewrok, whereas with exams you can be more confident that you are getting marks (IMO)

What subject course are you doing by the way?
