4. Argument essay

Today, it seems to be universally accepted that increased education is a good thing, but we have a different way for that. Some students agree that examinations are an unfair way of assessment and should not be used at the HCT. In the essay, I will discuss whether or not examinations should be used for assessment at the HCT.
It is easy to find reasons to use examinations for assessment. One issue is maybe the examinations improve skills, because students will spend much time to study this subject. A second point, sometimes the exams help students to know what they understand and do not understand of the course content. This is due because some students will not study until the examinations time. Finally, we can say they are a fair assessment because the same test is used for all students in the same time.
There are several reasons, however, why we should stop using examination for assessment even in HCT. One point is that the examinations are not a good way for a complete evaluation of a student’s skills and abilities, because the assessment needs time not only one or two hours. As a result, some skills and abilities for some student are not assessed in examination time. Another point is mood problems for students. An example is, the most responsible student has a wife and four to five children that means, sometimes the wife is sick and sometimes the children have problems in school. The last point is those who cheat and share answers. Some students depend on cheating and they do not have skills and abilities.
In conclusion, there are arguments both for and against banning exams. In my opinion if we banned the examinations in HCT this would become better for all students, because they could be fairly as assessed.
