Cambridge University asks students to answer exams using a computer. It's because of the difficulty of correcting bad handwriting tests. One academic said that the hand muscles of the students are not accustomed to writing for long periods of time, causing them to experience physical difficulties. A lecturer of Cambridge said that the corrector is difficult to read the script badly written, so that students should return to the university at that time it should be their time of vacation, to read the answer to be corrected. I think the test using a computer or laptop or even a smartphone is more practical than using paper. We no longer need to carry many books, we can reduce the amount of paper usage. Other than that the test results will be easier to be corrected, no more bad writing or a lot of graffiti.We just need to bring a laptop or smartphone to the campus. But remember, do not forget to charge the battery and set up a fast internet connection. Do not let your smartphones die and old connections when filling the exam, otherwise your exam will be at stake.
