我对考试的看法

Nowadays the examination is used as a chief means of deciding whether a student succeeds or fails in mastering a particular subject in most colleges and universities. Although it is efficient, its side effects are also enormous.

现在在大多数学院和大学，考试被用来衡量学生在学习某门课程上是成功还是失败的主要方法。虽然这很有效，但它也有很大的副作用。

On the one hand, examinations lower the standards of teaching. Since teachers are often judged by examination results, they are reduced to training their students in exam techniques. Nosubjectsjcan.be taught successfullywith

一方面，考试降低了教学标准。由于经常通过考试成绩来评判老师，他们就会降低要求至只训练学生的考试技巧。以参加考试为目标的话，没有课程能被成功地教授。另一方面，最有害的影响就是，考试助长了学生不好的学习习惯。由于考试成绩是评断他学习表现的唯一标准，学生被迫机械地记忆，而不是进行创造性的思考。

If that is the case, why cannot we make a change and devise something more efficient and reliable than examinations?
