...Out of all the wars that influenced the development of Russian government, the first world war was the most significant’ How far do you agree with this statement? I feel the First World War is a very strong factor in Russian history and is a very good point to argue with it was the final disappoint that drove the people of Russia to not only take down the tsar but to later kill him. However in the development of Russian government I don’t think it had much importance, out of all the wars in Russian history I feel it was the revolutions in 1917 that played the most important role in the development of the Russian government. Russia involvement in world war one is a very big turning point in Russian history, it removed the tsar from power and left Russian on its knee’s as industries could not keep up with the demands of the war, many soldiers were without weapons and ammunition. But really didn't have a effect on the development of the Russian government it wasn't until the February revolution in 1917 that the development really started, it allowed the few remaining members of the duma including Kerensky to develop the provisional government, it was successful in installing a democratic government as it quickly allowed free elections and allowed legal political parties to be formed. However their freedom of speech and publishing of political materials from opposition was their downfall as it allowed the Bolsheviks to attack them, as there popularity increased the provisional...

...the institution. The second purpose is to make the student connect the smaller topics and comprehend what the larger ideas are. She notes that students feel a greater sense of achievement from examinations than from papers, however exams are not without flaws. Factors such as the teacher/professor's mood when correcting, and how far into the stack the grader is, can give some students an unfair advantage. Exams can also point out flaws of the instructor, which make them an even more useful tool. The article shows that though there are drawbacks, exams are a useful tool for students and instructors as each one can evaluate his/herself. Joy Alonso aims to show the place of examinations in collegiate courses, through a series of pro and con analysis. In the beginning of her argument, she explains, in detail, the way an examination fulfills the two purposes of tracking achievement and encouraging learning. The first purpose serves both the students and the professor. She mentions that, through examinations, students obtain self-reassurance of their performance in the course. The article states that a professor will know if his/her instruction is effective and clear in a way that the majority of the class understands the material. When grading the exams, both students and professors are being assessed. Examinations, as Alonso notes, will also...
