Examinations have both negative and positive aspects. In this essay I will look at examinations in the HCT and discuss both sides of the argument.
There are some students who think examinations are unfair and support this statement. Many older student don’t have the time to study for the test. They are occupied with their families and jobs. Others believe there are other fairer ways of assessment. They think students’ evaluation should depend on the student’s assignments and work the semester whole instead of a three-hour test. Because examination
can cause nervousness and stress, some students don’t do well in tests. They feel so nervous and unwell, even though they are smart enough to ace them.
While, in the other hand, many students believe an examination is a fair way of assessment and disagree
with the statement. They think examinations provide motivation to study. With their grade at stake, most of the students will work hard and study and that will increase their academic knowledge. Some of them think examinations are a fair way to evaluate students. All students take the same test and there is no differentiation between one student and another. Others think it is a good way to determine what
students have learned in the course and who should pass and who shouldn’t. Even if the student has a million reasons not to pass the test, he shouldn’t pass the course for his own good, because that will affect him later in his job.
To conclude, I believe both sides have many good reasons to support or oppose the statement. But I disagree with it because I think examinations are the best way of assessment for students and teachers.
