Disagree. While I did well in the same system in law school, most people I know hated the one-and-done testing system. That said, you do have a point in situations where testing is practically constant (and affects the final grade) - there's probably a happy medium to be found somewhere...

I certainly remember many students with that view. After first year they started carefully arranging courses and boasted about how they would never have to write another exam ... until the bar. I think I had a final for every course but LRW and a bioethics class.

Yep, same here - paper classes were a real pain and always made the end of a semester rather unpleasant with deadlines looming. Just saying that system is a bit extreme, and I don't think it's universally applicable.
