Examinations

Examinations are one way to assess students which are used at schools and universities all over the world .Some people believe that examination are an un fair way to Jude their skills and knowledge. In this essay I will discuss both sides of the topic whether exams are affair assessment or not.
People who support banning exams believe that it’s making students nervous and stress about taking exams so; they will do poorly in exams. Some people think that its unfair way to assess knowledge instead of talking exams doing home work is a better solution. Taking exams are not a good way to evaluate the student’s skills and abilities. There are many students that can’t show up in exam time so, they will lose their grades and and may fail in course .There are many ways that can do it to judge and develop student’s skills and knowledge such as, asking questions to know what they understand from the lesson. Another way to assess knowledge is that teacher’s have to make sure everyone understood and the idea stick in their mind.

On the other hand, there are people who think that taking exams are good way for students. They believe that is the right way instate of studying and review course material. This way can show their abilities and knowledge. They are a fair strategy to evaluate students whoever studies and review or not. After all they are taking the same test at same time so, nothing is different from student to others. Exams can help students to know what they study and understood from the course.
In conclusion, there are strong arguments both for and against banning exams. I believe the points in favor of using examinations are stronger than those against.
