All colleges, universities and schools are using exams to grade students and to know what they are doing. Some people think that exams are not a fair way of assessment and should not be used at HCT colleges. Also, some people think it is a good to use exams in colleges. I will discuss both sides
First, I am going to mention the positive side of using exams. The main point is to know the level of students. For example, when doing exams for students they will know how they improved in their courses and what mistakes they got so that they do their best next time. Another point is to let students review their materials. Some students while in class they might forget what they learnt so to make what they learn stick in their heads the college may use exams to make students restudy their materials. Next, another point is to keep students awake during the class. Some student don’t care to listen to their teachers so they should remind them that they have an exam so that they will be awake in class and listen to whatever the teacher is going to tell them.
Also, there are some negative points that people support. The first point is that there is too much materials to study. Some exams cover about five or six subjects that the students should study and it will be too much for them. Another point is the lack of time. Some students are slow when they are doing their exams that they might take them about one hour and half to finish so they need to make the time of the exam at least three hours. The third point is that exams make students nervous. All students before they get to their exams they are a little bit nervous so the teacher should help them and encourage them that the exam is easy.
In conclusion, I think I don’t agree that exams are unfair and should be canceled because how should the students know about their progress or how are they doing in college without doing exams?
