Examinations are an unfair way of assessment (Argument 2)





Examinations are an unfair way of assessment and there are some positive and negative aspects. This essay will look at whether examinations are an unfair way of assessment and will discuss both sides of the argument.

First, let us look at why examinations are sometimes necessary. Many students believe that unfair assessments and should not be used at HCT. They cause nervousness and testing doesn’t fulfill the purpose as students get lower grades because they fell unwell. If the student sat alone in the home they understand and when we go to HCT examinations they forget everything. The Second argument, students should be graded on their classroom assignments. These are a way for students to get a high mark if they do a good work their assignments in their classroom. Also some exams are poorly written and are culturally biased against non-western students. For example, some exams written by western teachers for a western audience are biased and non- westerners will store lower due to this bias.

Now let us look for students who want an assessment at the HCT. First, testing is fair because all students take the same test, and are assessed equally. For example, for the teacher it is easy for checking and for students to study together. Another negative it is a good way to determine what students have learned in the cause. For example, when the students do exams they will encourage students to work harder.

There are arguments for statement and against the statesmen. However, in my opinion the suppurating argument that the assessment should not be used at HCT are more than the other arguments.
