> not understanding it very well, and yet presenting it. Failing these students likely leads to overly difficult classes
What does a grade even mean in your classes, if not understanding the subject isn't grounds for failure? Isn't the point of a grade to measure exactly that?
> some students with bad anxiety management skills, which includes me as a former student, dislike them passionately
So what? Nobody likes exams, they make everyone anxious, why is that even considered relevant? Did you not pass through exam halls with hundreds of students in them to get to university in the first place? How did this supposedly non-scalable system scale when you were 16?
> If anyone here has novel ideas
Why are you acting as if this is an unsolved research problem?
Here's a novel idea for you: talk to people who teach 15 year olds and then copy the way they do it. They'll probably tell you to do things you don't personally like doing but if it's really "critical to your profession" as you claim, then that won't matter, will it.
