Argument essay

Nowadays, all colleges in our country using tests to assess students, but some of them are using the new styles of assessment by teacher assessment. We have both ways in some subject. Some students agree that examinations are an unfair way of assessment and should not be used at the HCT. In this essay, I will discuss whether or not exams should be used for assessment. In this essay I am going to discuss whether examinations are useful in the HCT or not and why.

Yearly many new students Register to HCT to study and during the semester there are many exams to know if the students understand their courses, and to assess them at the end of the term. I think the exams are important to follow up the student and assess them; also these exams help them to know their area of weakness and fix it. These exams help student as well to keep studying well and work hard. The HCT is open more than twenty years and the way of assessing students has been the examination.As we know, sciences develop in every second. I think the way of studying in the HCT also must develop faster than what’s happenings now. The exams are still not enough to know if the students are ready for the labor market and what is needed in the labor markets in the UAE. The management of the HCT must study the needs of the labor markets in the UAE and what are the areas of weakness of the study in the HCT to improve it. Exams are a good way but maybe the best way to know if the students are ready for work. There are many better ways than exams, one example of these ways is to make an interview with the students or let the student go to work for two to three weeks as a trainee. There are many ways to be used by the HCT management.

In conclusion, there are strong arguments both for and against banning exams. I believe the points in favor of using examinations are stronger than those against.
