Thrillho:
I hate exams so much that when I went to university, I only did three times exams, two of which I could have avoided if I took a different route on the degree (broadcast rather than print).
I also paid very close attention to the percentages my assignments were worth and put calculated effort into specific things.
By the time I walked into that third exam, I didn't need to pass it.
Thrudd:
You must have had a very interesting college / program.
Every course and program at the colleges and universities I had attended [both side of the lectern] had very strict marking schemes and if you failed the exam then that was your final mark no matter how exemplary your reports and such were up to that point.

Finals and midterms were such a pain the ass.
hedgie:
Absolutely. I had to take public transit 2 hours each way, and there were a few finals where I'd have passed the course with a solid "B", based upon points alone if I didn't take them, but the policy was that if you didn't show, it was an automatic fail. So I had to waste four hours in transit to basically just sign my name and hand in a blank paper. Of course, once I was there, I just took the damned exam, since why not?
Thrillho:
My university was an ex polytechnic, and my degree was vocational journalism. It made no sense to examine things like 'how well you write' under timed conditions. Or more accurately, our timed exams were over multiple days, because they were live exercises like working in the industry.
