Examinations at HCT (Argument) 2

All colleges and university in the world use examinations for all students. This essay will examine the pros and cons of using examination at HCT.

Let me deal first with the positive side of examinations. The first argument is that exams are equal for all students. For example, testing is fair because all students take the same test and are assessed equally. Another point is that students will review materials. This will give students good feedback on their understanding of the subject. A further point is that exams help to know student’s levels. Testing is a good way to determine what students have learned in the course.

I think there are also arguments that support the statement. I think the most important point is that some exams are poorly written and are culturally daisy against non Western students. For example, some exams written by western teachers for western audiences are biased and non westerners will score lower due to this bias. Another point is that not enough time is given because some subjects need a longer time to finish, so they don’t give time for exams. The next argument is that reports and projects are a better way to grade. Exams are not a fair way of giving grades since students should be graded on their classroom assignment.

In conclusion, using exams at HCT has pros and cons. I think HCT without exams is better for all students and teachers because some students do not do well in some exams because they have problems of nervousness and attention.
