10、 a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.Do In-Class Exams Make Students Study Harder?A I have always been a poor test-taker. So it may seem rather strange that I have returned to college to finish
11、 the degree I left undone some four decades ago. I am making my way through Columbia University, surrounded by students who quickly supply the verbal answer while I am still processing the question.B Since there is no way for me to avoid exams, I am currently questioning what kind are the most taxin
12、g and ultimately beneficial. I have already sweated through numerous in-class midterms and finals, and now I have a professor who issues take-home ones. I was excited when I learned this, figuring I had a full week to do the research, read the texts, and write it all up. In fact. 1 was still rewriti
13、ng my midterm the morning it was due. To say I had lost the thread is putting it mildly.C As I was suffering through my week of anxiety, overthinking the material and guessing my grasp of it, I did some of my own polling among students and professors. David Eisenbach, who teaches a popular class on
14、U.S. presidents at Columbia, prefers the in-class variety. He believes students ultimately learn more and encourages them to form study groups. “That way they socialize over history outside the class,which wouldnt happen without the pressure of an in-class exam,” he explained. “Furthermore,in-class
15、exams force students to learn how to perform under pressure, an essential work skill.”D He also says there is less chance of cheating with the in-class variety. In 2012, 125 students at Harvard were caught up in a scandal when it was discovered they had cheated on a take-home exam for a class entitl
16、ed “Introduction To Congress ” Some colleges have what they call an honor code/ though if you are smart enough to get into these schools, you are either smart enough to get around any codes or hopefully, too ethical to consider doing so. As I sat blocked and clueless for two solid days. I momentaril
17、y wondered if I couldnt just call an expert on the subject matter which I was tackling,or someone who took the class previously, to get me going.E Following the Harvard scandal,Mary Miller, the former dean of students at Yale, made an impassioned appeal to her schools professors to refrain from take
18、-home exams. “Students risk health and well being, as well as performance in other end-of-term work, when faculty offers take-home exams without clear, time-limited boundaries,” she told me. “Research now shows that regular quizzes,short essays, and other assignments over the course of a term better
19、 enhance learning and retention.”F Most college professors agree the kind of exam they choose largely depends on the subject. A quantitative-based one, for example, is unlikely to be sent home, where one could ask their older brothers and sisters to help. Vocational-type classes,such as computer sci
20、ence or journalism, on the other hand, are often more research-oriented and lend themselves to take-home testing. Chris Koch, who teaches “History of Broadcast Journalism” at Montgomery Community College in Rockville, Maryland, points out that reporting is about investigation rather than the memoriz
21、ation of minute details. “In my field, its not what you know一its what you know how to find out, says Koch. “There is way too much information, and more coming all the time, for anyone to remember. I want my s by using all the resources available to them.”G Students test-form preferences vary, too, o
22、ften depending on the subject and course difficulty. “I prefer lake-home essays because it is then really about the writing, so you have time to edit and do more research, says Elizabeth Dresser, a junior at Barnard. Then there is the stress factor. Francesca Haass, a senior at Middlebury, says, “1
23、find the in-class ones are more stressful in the short term, but there is immediate relief as you swallow information like mad,and then you get to forget it all. Take-homes require thoughtful engagement which can lead to longer term stress as there is never a moment when the time is up.” Meanwhile,
24、Olivia Rubin, a sophomore at Emory, says she hardly even considers take-homes true exams. “If you understand the material and have the ability to articulate (说出)your thoughts, they should be a breeze.”H How students ultimately handle tests may depend on their personal test-taking abilities.
