Exams are the best way of assessing a student’s level. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
It is true that the majority of
students
do not feel comfortable in doing exams
or tests to assess their knowledge about a subject. However
, I believe those evaluations are appropriate in order to evaluate a student
. This
essay will present arguments to support my opinion.
To begin
with, I think a well-designed test is a valuable resource because it measures exactly how much a student
learned about a subject. In other words
, whatever is the result of the test, it reveals the reality concerning students
' understanding about a matter. In addition
, those exams
are not only valuable but also
necessary. This
is because students
need to be assessed and tests are the simplest and most acceptable way to do it.
Furthermore
, exams
generally cover all the content that was taught throughout the year. By doing this
, teachers can certainly know if a student
is ready to learn new subjects. For example
, if a student
performs poorly during multiple evaluations, this
means that he is not ready for the periods to come. Therefore
, these specific students
should repeat and try to learn more appropriately. Finally
, as far as I know, there are not other methods of evaluation better than tests. Thus
, it is better to keep doing what is working throughout the years.
To sum up, in my opinion,exams
are the best way to certify how much a student
learned because they are simple and efficient. Besides
, there are no other better alternatives. I suggest that students
face the exams
as part of the learning process.Submitted by samirzakur on
