| Grading Essays to practice for the GRE
Good Evening, Everyone:
I just joined to the forum. I was wondering if any one would have some time off and grade a GRE essay for me. The scale they use is 1 to 6, 6 is considered a great essay. Bear in mind, the last time I was in college doing essays was in 1994. I did know how to speak or write in English, just Spanish. Please be sincere. I am practicing because I'm taking the GRE to compete for Grad school in the military. Here it goes!
Title: "It is unfortunate that today's educators place so much emphasis on finding out what students want to include in the curriculum and then giving it to them. It is the educator's duty to determine the curriculum and the student's duty to study what is presented to them."
I agree that educators's and universities' whole purpose is to aid students in their long journey to completing a degree. There are several items that I would like to discuss:
First, educators need to find out what the university requires of students in order to graduate. The need to be aware of the word "university" (derives from the word universe ) which means students should have general knowledge of every topic of their core curriculum.
Second, it is the university's job to make sure the students have a variety of course choices throughout the year. I can tell you, from experience, that it is impossible to graduate from a four-year institution without taking summer courses. For example, some hard subjects, like General Physics Part I, are usually giving on the same time and day of the week, as General Chemistry Part I. In order to follow your core curriculum (if your career counselor cares about you), you are going to need to make some sacrifices during the summer time.
And third, it is the student's duty to balance their course load to keep good grades. For instance, during my first year in college, I was only trying to take three general courses in order to maintain a high grade point average. In the end, I was not able to keep a good grade point average because I didn't pay attention to what I had left to take. My last semester was loaded with three hard courses: Biochemistry, Calculus I, and Linear Equations.
In conclusion, I think that educators, universities, and students have to work together in order to successed. Like I mentioned before, we all need to learn the basics concepts of the universe. We shouldn't be trying to make students earn master's or doctor's degrees in four years. They just need to learn the basic concepts of the universe. |
