grading system

one of the things that i really hate in our university is our grading system .. it's a very irrational system .. and i'm sure i'm not the only one complaining from it .. coz people who don't have the ability to memorize very well won't have a chance to make good grades .
we had this discussion last week .. some poeple do have photographic memory .. and they tend to memorize the page and the line where the answer exists .. but others have limited capacity of memorizing .. and those are the poeple who suffer .. most of your grade depend on the final written exam ,, it's ( THE exam) if you messed up then you won't get a good gpa eventually ..
some people faced this problem and what's sad about it is that they are extremely good in their clinical work .. they have the skills .. and they do understand what they're doing .. but they may get irritated and they can't function under stress .. or too much informations gets mixed up in their head ..
the grades must be distributed equally between clinical and written exam .. so it would be fair for all students .. and it should be distributed through the whole year ... like continuos assessment ..
and about 6th year that consitutes 60% of the grade is a very stupid idea .. coz it makes 6th year students suffer trying not to mess up this year coz their whole future depend on it .. if the student is an A+ student through all the years and in this final year she messed up .. then her effort and hard work through all these years is just wasted .. some poeple concentrate more on this year while they were playing before and raise their grades up dramatically ..
serious changes needs to be done to this system coz it's soo unfair to alot of students who spend alot of effort and time in their clinical work .. trying to finish their requirements through the whole year .. but didn't give much attention to the theoritical part .. if the requirements were not finished and you did well in the final exam you still have the chance to get an A
so i guess my advice is to concentrate more on studying the materials you're taking .. instead of the clinical work which constitute the least percentage of the final grade
