High school exams are completely different than college exams. First off, high school exams normally aren't extremely long and over complicated. High school teachers are directed by the State Educational Board on what they have to teach their students throughout the year. These directions can be quite broad, but many high school teachers are limited on the information that they want to discuss because they are required to teach state-mandated information. If high school teachers refuse to teach the material provided to them, their students could possibly fail the standardized test issued by the state, which could cost the teacher their job. College professors, however, are not bound by these restriction and can instruct students on whatever information they please. As a result, college exams could very well be much longer than high school exams, but not necessarily. I believe that I will enjoy college exams more than high school exams, even though they are longer, simply because after a college exam, students are allowed to finish, They don't have to wait on everyone to finish or until the end of the school day, which provides the students with much more freedom. Overall, I'm sure that college exams will be a definite challenge, but I know that I should be well prepared for them.
I completely agree. With that mindset I believe you will do great in college. Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that college exams are strung out and sometimes WAY longer than a high school exam or test(S).
ReplyDeleteI do think that high school exams are different than college exams,and it is good that you have recognized those differences.
ReplyDeleteI agree it does not seem fair that teachers have college professors have more freedom than regular teachers. I understand that it is high school vs college but it is also a matter of what is fair and what is not.
