Final Exam Survey

 

You are taking an English writing class at a local college, and your instructor is surveying your opinion about the final exam. Currently, half of the course grade is based on a three-hour final exam written in class. However, your instructor is considering allowing students to submit a five-page report instead, which they would write at home.

Choose the option that you prefer. Why do you prefer your choice? Explain the reasons for your choice. Write about 150-200 words.

  • Option A: I would prefer to write a three-hour final exam in class.
  • Option B: I would prefer to write a five-page report at home.

I am in favor of writing a five-page report at home due to an array of reasons.

Writing is a craft, which if done under time constraints would lead to compromised quality as the students will be focused on meeting the deadline rather than producing eloquent thoughts. Therefore, if the class is given an opportunity to write a five-page report instead, it will give them time to assimilate the ideas and submit an assignment that would display lucid and coherent content.

Moreover, it is likely that a lot of students will not be able to cope up with the astronomical pressure built during the three-hour exam, and consequently fail. While there are chances of cheating at home, a plagiarism check could easily verify that. So, even if a student tries to copy, it would be visible on the report.

On the whole, I would really appreciate if you could allow us to write a five-page report at home so that we all can pass the course with good grades.

I would like to choose option A, which is the three hours in-class exam as we got through the past scoring process. There are reasons that I like to go by option A.

First, I feel it is the way of fairness. I understand everybody will try their best, but some might get help from other people if the exam is allowed to drop the 5 pages paper. It is unfair if they get a high score because of the assistant. I of course trust peers, but there are no ways to check whether the paper is written by students’ abilities or not.

Second, three hours limitation time allows students to concentrate on their writing. It will be good practice for them to prepare for other official English tests, such as CELPIP or IELTS as most of the official English tests for international students have a limited time to finish writing. It means that students probably can use to adjust the time for these tests. It is definitely beneficial to students.

To sum up, I am concerning that option A is better than option B.
