Examination

An Examination is a way of giving students grades at schools and colleges. Many people see that exams are improper way to grade students with. In this essay I am going to discuss whether examinations are fair or unfair way of assessment for students at HCT.
Let me deal first with the positive side of examination. First, exams are a proper incentive for students to study and review course materials. A lot of students in the college do not study until they have an exam. Another point is that exams are fair assessment because, the same test is used for all students, it also decrease the opportunity to cheat or make someone else do students work. A final point is that exams help students to know what they understand and don’t understand of the course content because, they don’t know the content of the exam so they should study material.
The arguments against exams are well known. Exams make students nervous about taking exams which make them have bad grades. It is also an unfair way to assess knowledge; using home work is better. Exams are not a good way for a complete evaluation of a student’s skills and abilities because a student might be sick on the day of the exam.
In conclusion, I think that having small exams help students to concentrate at the course content but, home work and projects are a better way to grade student with, because of stress on exams and sickness problems. This also makes the students show more respect to the teachers.
