Students who are given grades work harder than those who do not. Do you agree or disagree? Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion.

It is critically important that

students

work

Use synonyms

as hard as possible when they are at school. Personally, I believe that teachers can motivate

students

Use synonyms

to

work

Use synonyms

hard by giving them

grades

Use synonyms

. I feel

this

way

Use synonyms

for two reasons, which I will explore in the following essay.

To begin

with,

students

who are graded achieve a lot of comprehensive knowledge of academic subjects. When a student has an opportunity to earn

grades

, he will spend more time working on his assignments and will

therefore

absorb more information and

achieve more comprehension.

On the other hand

,

students

who do not have to worry about their

grades

won’t

work

very hard and will only superficially understand their subjects. My own experience as a student is a compelling example of

this

. During my sophomore

I had to complete a major assignment in a political science

class

I was taking.

According to

the course syllabus, the assignment would make up about half of my total grade in the

class

Use synonyms

, so I approached my

work

Use synonyms

with diligence and care. I wrote an amazing speech and spent hours preparing for every possible question my classmates might think of. If the presentation had not been graded, I would not have spent so much time preparing for it. I am sure that

students

all over the world today are motivated to

work

Use synonyms

hard by the chance to achieve high

grades

Use synonyms

from their professors.

Secondly

,

grades

motivate

students

Use synonyms

because they are a

way

Use synonyms

to determine which people in a group are objectively

intelligent.

Grades

Use synonyms

are assigned in a systematic

way

Use synonyms

, so they clearly demonstrate which

students

in a

class

are the best and brightest.

For example

, in my

last

years

years,

show examples

I took a literature

class

Use synonyms

where

students

merely got a “pass” or “fail”

at the end

Linking Words

. Since only a moderate amount of effort was required to pass the

class

Use synonyms

, I completed my assignments and presentations quite halfheartedly.

In contrast

Linking Words

, when I took a graded

class

Use synonyms

on the same subject in my junior year, I spent hours in the library researching my papers so that I could show my professors that I was intellectually superior to my classmates.

This

Linking Words

may appear somewhat shallow, but in today’s competitive academic

environment

environment,

it is absolutely necessary for people to distinguish themselves. In conclusion, I strongly believe that

grades

Use synonyms

encourage

students

Use synonyms

to learn.

This

Linking Words

is because they force

students

Use synonyms

to learn as much as possible and because they give young learners a

way

Use synonyms

to distinguish themselves from their peers.
