...Examinations — good or bad ? "Examinations" - This is a word that causes sleepless nights, a word can change a cheerful person into a nervous wreck. So, what are examinations, and how can they be any good? An examination can be defined as a detailed inspection or analysis of an object or person. For example, an engineer will examine a structure, like a bridge, to see if it is safe. A doctor may conduct a medical examination to gauge whether a patient is healthy. In the school context, it is the students who take the examinations. These are usually a series of comprehensive tests held at the end of each term, year or, in the case of public examinations, after a few years. One of the main purposes of school examinations is to improve the quality of education. From the results of the examinations, the teachers and planners of the curriculum will be able to gauge the extent to which the students have acquired the knowledge and skills of the course material. This would, first of all, provide an evaluation of their teaching methods, so they can improve them, if necessary. Examinations are also used as a yardstick for measuring the capability of the candidate, for further education or employment. For example, examination results are the main criteria when selecting students for entrance into universities. It is assumed that the examination results would indicate whether or not the student will be able to handle the course. In the case of employment, it is felt that the...

I has so much relative to this class because it shows you how to act in front of you co-workers and to approach different types of situation in the work setting. This course show so many stuff about communication that I did not expect could influences so much in my career and also learning to keep away some problem by not using the right word or the right posture, even by making facial expression you might offense someone and brings so many problem to the table. So I realize to keep a flow mood we have to keep some manners at home and try not be so social or silly at work to avoid some misunderstanding. However, we cannot ever be like robots, trying not to express anything, we have to keep a pleasure posture for ourselves in which we think we are not offending anyone. Being at work is just a places where we have to take in consideration everyone around and keep anything that could be annoyed for others to ourselves. Like being in a theater, we have to be quite and relax, so we do not bother anyone. My career is all based on that, must of the thing that I learned from this course I know I am going to implement at my job....

...Chapter II REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE FOREIGN REFERENCE The questions which teachers ask during class periods constitute a concrete expression of the educational objectives which they are day by day setting for their students. The questions of the final examinations should, therefore, be representatives of the types of educational objectives set in the different school subjects. The emphasis upon memory and some of the simpler types suggests a need for a modification in emphasis in most of the school subject. Frequently all questions are considered as belonging to one of two groups, “thought questions” or “memory questions”. Such a definite classification is not, however, always possible. The character of the mental process involved in answering depends upon the person replying as well as upon the form of the question asked. Those questions calling for definite facts are almost certain to be based upon memory; on the other hand, those requiring classification, evaluation, contrast, etc. are likely to demand thought on the part of most students. If, however, such classification or evaluations have been made in a previous class exercise some students may easily remember the answers and, in such a case, a thought question for one student becomes a memory question for another. (Monroe, 1923) Hence, the academic performance of a student mostly depend on his/her evaluation in exam. Students excel on either one of the two types or both. But oftentimes, examinees encounter...
