Incorporating Continuous Assessment with Exams Examinations have been the gold standard for measuring the performance of students at the university level in the educational system. However, it may be possible that continuous assessment is more accurate for measuring overall student performance due to the fact that students are given different types of tasks to assess their knowledge, such as homework, papers, and quizzes. Exams have many pros and cons, but measuring a student’s performance solely
The Great Gatsby and The Jungle Both dated back during the 1900s, the books “The Great Gatsby” by Scott F. Fitzgerald and “The Jungle” by Upton Sinclair, take place in America while industrialism was occurring. However, Fitzgerald and Sinclair represent completely different sides of the social spectrum. Although both novels are fiction, they appear to illustrate a more realistic point of view on the time period in which they take place. Fitzgerald and Sinclair also show the moral and physical

In reading Meet the poster child for “white privilege” – then have your mind blown, and, To the Princeton Privileged Kid, I can say that I somewhat see and agree with both points of view. I think that both have in some way miss interpreted what the other is saying. It amazes me how people don’t want to take matters into their own hands, and always find the need to have someone to blame for their issues, and shortcomings. Instead they just keep spewing out hate. Hate breeds hate, and we can 't keep

College football playoff system The current bowl system in college football has been heavily criticized over the past few years for a variety of reasons. Many contend that the four team bracket is inadequate to properly identify the best team in college football. To allow for a more equitable representation of the best teams in the nation, an expanded playoff system has been a common solution among critics. Such a system would include eight or even sixteen teams. This could increase both the excitement
College Football’s Elusive Elite Eight Millions of fans around America cheer for their college football team in the fall. Their team works hard all season, and every single game they give effort. When the post-season comes around some fans stop cheering. The fans do not stop cheering because they do not love their team, it is because their team did not make the closed off final four spots.
