Students can be assessed in a number of ways but I think the fairest form of assessment is testing. If students have to take examinations, they cannot easily cheat, whereas continuous assessment is difficult to mark and monitor fairly. Generally, examinations give more reliable results than other forms of assessment.
Some education systems emphasise discovery learning, while others tend to spoon feed their students. In my view, it is better to learn things yourself, through your own experiences, because you are more likely to remember what you have learnt. Also, discovery learning is less passive than rote learning and, therefore, more enjoyable.
