what if there were no exams? essay
Answers
Answer:
Examinations are a tool to assess the students' calibre in a certain class and to promote them to a higher class. how ever students are morally scared of examinations - they build a phobia about examinations.
The whole career of the students depends on the exams. A students may be a good student but due to some circumstances like 1ll-health or lack of time for preparation of exams he/she may not be able to fare well, then the student's career is at stake.
students have a sigh of relief when the exams are over they feel that they have come through an ordeal.
One cannot truly judge the calibre of a student through a short examination. Scientist like Einstein failed in their examinations too but went on to become successful people.
Assessment on the teacher's part is also not faultless. Many teachers who are not capable are given the work of assessment. Their lack of knowledge can cause problems for students.
Sometimes the papers leak out or a lot of partiality is shown to certain students. Examinations kill the student's genuine interest in study and importance is given to cramming. Hence exams are of chance and guessing games.
However, examinations are a necessary evil as they are the only tool to evaluate a student to give him/her the required promotion for further studies.
In the absence of examination, all educational activities would slow down, there would be no reliable system of testing and assessment and there would be all-round deterioration in educational efforts and standards.
If there were no examinations majority majority of students would not bother to study at all. Bright and sincere students would get lost among the lazy masses. We would never be able to separate the brilliant students from the dullards.
Answer:
Behold! What a wonderful and pleasant world it would be if examinations were wiped off once and for all from our education system.
The word examination always bring in fear, tension, trouble and cold perspiration. It makes us shiver and tremble. But we still face examination with great determination and come out with flying colours.
I would have been in pure ecstasy if the examination were abolished. For me Mathematics is a subject which gives me sleepless nights and Geography has always driven me around the world. Present, past and future of English has always confused me and equations of Chemistry have proved me wrong. Diagrams in biology are a mere pain in my neck and various authors of Marathi and Hindi have driven me mad.
Don’t ask me about emperors and warriors in History for they usually mark their presence in my dreams- and give me nothing but jitters. I am hoping for the day to come soon when there would be piece of all of us.
Many a times one feels that the exams which were held in schools and colleges have less relevance in our practical life. The degree which one holds has no value except to be kept hanging on the wall for years together. Everywhere in India lakhs of students are coached and trained to face various competitive examinations. At the examination time we read several instance of copying where many were caught red-handed, but what about various students who are left Scott-free? Such students not only come out with flying colours but also receive better job placements than those hardworking students who deserve it more than them.
But if there would be no examinations our brains would have stopped working partially and it would not have been brought to any use such as reading, writing, solving sums and problems. In future we would have been called nothing but useless morons.
To save us from such degradation, to some extent we should have examinations, but such examinations should produce human beings of high morale and dignity and not being slaves of examinations...........................
