Continuous Assessment is the educational policy in which students are examined continuously over most of the duration of their education, the results of which are taken into account after leaving school. It is often proposed or used as an alternative to a final examination system.

Doesn't sound very continuous to me. The noise outside my window at night is only continual because it stops occasionally for the odd minute. It can't be continuous intermittently. "over most of the duration of their education" relegates it to continually.

Yep, your comment is noted, and I did say 'continual assessment' originally, but the above is what the dic says! I reckon 'End of....'!

I wonder if those TEFL/TESOL courses teach its meaning. I dunno as I never studied either! Doktor T can help us?
