8 из 14 Оценка эксперта внизу
One issue causing a lot of controversy is whether exams can be considered as the most just method to check up students’ knowledge. Some people claim it is the most equitable way to monitor students’ achievements in studying, while others do not share this opinion.
I think exams are an adequate technique of testing students. Firstly, exams are organized so that all students are in equal conditions. They take exams at the same time, in the same classroom and students are offered the tasks of the same level of difficulty.
Secondly, final exams allow revealing the most talented students who can benefit from displaying high results. For instance, they may enter prestigious universities and get a discount for a tuition fee. It proves that exams are a fair form of testing students and gives better opportunities to the best.
However, other people are sure exams cannot be seen as a reasonable method of monitoring students’ level of knowledge. They are convinced stressful atmosphere at exams makes some students feel so nervous that it is absolutely impossible to perform well.
esides, some students always take a chance to cheat. That way, exams are an inequitable form to measure everyone’s academic progress.
I cannot fully agree with my opponents. It is common knowledge the less one knows, the more nervous one becomes at exams. Moreover, modern classrooms are equipped with surveillance systems, so the possibilities to cheat are minimized.
To conclude, I should emphasize exams are a just way to control students’ achievements. They are taken in the same environment and enlarge chances of successful ones to enter the best universities.
