[etni] Re: projects and oral test etni Digest V7 #110

Though I think that the internet researched project is a waste of time, I do 
prefer projects on the oral test, rather than the old monologue-dialogue 
system.  I remember from my children and their friends how nightmarish the test 
was.  It was a gamble to know which topic you'd have to discuss, even for those 
who spoke English at home.
 
I tested hundreds of 4/5 point students in my time according to NBA.  Having 
the project in the student's hand is a great help.  I showed the teachers, and 
some students, how they could use it instead of reading from notes.  According 
to the rubrics, reading from notes is forbidden (lowers the grade,) but 
"quoting from the project" when holding it, isn't a problem.
 
Without a "physical" project and with the cooperation of a "fudging" teacher, a 
creative kid can fake a project.
