Poll: Would you rather have one exam every month, or 4 exams every four months?

Okay, I was just thinking about this because it's exam season.

Right now using an example of the current system - there is one term where you revise 4 different modules, have 4 different exams, all over 4 months. You have 2 hours of lectures, and 2 hours of workshops per week for each module.

Then at the end, over the period of 2 weeks, you have to juggle everything and try to pass everything.

The alternative, would be instead for one month, only have one module to focus on. About 16 hours a week all your lectures and workshops would be focused on this one module, have an intensive course for 4 weeks, then have an exam at the end. After the exam, you then start your new module.

Which do you guys prefer?

I like the last one, the intensive aspect stops you from getting lazy, and I think I would get better marks under this model.
