▶ Your Answer :
Some people say
that Grading system cannot help students encouraged. They also argue that we do
not use grading system anymore since students are getting more stress from it.
However, I believe that a grading system is needed for students to learn since
it encourages students to learn in several ways.
First, students
can know their weak points by analyzing their grades. Since a grading system
offers information reports to students about their academic achievements,
students can be informed about which subject he or she should study. For
example, when I was a high school student, I was not good at English. So I
studied English more than other subjects. At the midterm test, I got C in
English even I studied it. Fortunately, my school grading system has a function
which gives more detail information about a subject. According to the system,
my English speaking was not worse than reading and writing. After that, I focused
to study English speaking. Finally, since I found my English weak point, I got
A grade in final term exam.
Second, Grades
can be a good incentive for students to study. Grades can be reward since it is
visible in several numbers. When we work at office for earning salary, the
salary is one of incentives as well as grades have same role in studying for
students. Students are studying to get higher grades. For example, when I a
university student, there was one class without grades and students could get a
grade which was "pass" or "fail". At the first, students
were not studying since they could get "pass" easily. At the class's
midterm exam, the students get horrible scores, but they did not care about
that. the professor of the class got angry and changed grading policy into
normal one. After that event, students started to study to get a good grade.
To sum up,
grading system can encourage students in several ways. It can give beneficial
information to students and it can be rewards for students. For these reasons,
I believe that grades encourage students to learn.
