Talk:Computer-based assessment

Merging with E-assessment
The two articles are completely redundant, probably started by different researchers with the term they prefer. I propose taking text from the CBA article and merging it into E-assessment, then replacing the CBA one with a redirect. Iulus Ascanius (talk) 20:20, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Note: The "Computer-Based Assessment (CBA)" is the oldest term and the most used term in scientific literature while "e-Assessment" seems much related to commercial world. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.133.31.201 (talk) 12:01, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

It hasn't mentioned they are crap!
I am a student in a UK school and I can say PC based tests have SIGNIFICANTLY lowered my mark because:
 * It is VERY easy to copy
 * It is VERY unreliable -- "your PC don't work child?" "well, 0 for you then!"
 * No matter what they say about "autoshapes", you CAN'T draw pictures of cats, dogs, houses or anything else moderately complex to the standard of those with a bloody pen and paper
 * In state schools, you are at a significant disadvantage because the computers either a) Don't work or b) Don't exist, so when you're doing your IT exam and get put with someone retarded it's just like ... hell. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.104.42.188 (talk) 17:12, 7 December 2010 (UTC)
