Examinations

Every college or school today depends on examinations to measure the performance of the students. There are two views, one supports banning exams and the other thinks exams are good.
Examinations make students nervous, they feel stressed about taking the exams which make them lose marks and do not do well. It’s also unfair way to assess knowledge considering that the exams for all the year are in one or two week each exam follow the other day by day, That’s why student feel nervous, this is why most of the people want home work and the all year work counted to pass the year this is the way to assess student progress because it’s better to do things counted as marks to pass when you are not under pressure. Most of the people who agree that say this will affect all the career life for the students in the future

On the other hand, exams are good incentive for students to study and review course materials. It helps them to work hard and study well. They are a fair assessment because the same test is used for all students and that shows the fair view for examinations. Also, exams help students to know what they understand and don’t understand of the course content, so they can go back and make sure they understand the material.

Overall, in my opinion both views have good points and I think I will take good points from the both views. The main point is we should make a mix between these good points and make sure we assign marks in a fair way.
