I can know my stuff and take test after test and fail every time. So to only use tests instead of essays isn’t fair either. I’m animal science it should be primarily tests maybe, but not necessarily in other courses. I can write a damn good essay and I’ve never cheated to do so. I had one professor in undergrad who offered two different assessment tracks and you were only required to do one. That was the best course ever because students were able to choose the kind of assessments they were naturally better at. This professor needs to be fired. He can’t just hurl accusations around like that.
