Are teachers in this world tired of their jobs or are they making the time limits to short of a limit?
I do not think it is the teachers fault, I just do not understand why if people need extra time that they are not able to give it to them, I do not see what the big deal about giving extra time to the students that need it, they want students to do there best,correct well if they actually want the very best out of someone, they need to give them the time to do that.
I think the way the judges should grade the writing articles are by the content of the way students answer them but also they should not count off for the writing articles that they may not finish, because of the short limit time that they are receiving.
I also think the time limit of 25 mins is crazy, because they always want their students to do their very best,well maybe they need more time than that to write the best article possible, with the topic they are given and also they should be able to relax and actually think about the things they want to say and how they want to say it, instead of rushing into writing things.
The part of this article that I agree with and also like is “College professors, according to Gere, expect their students to be able to demonstrate evidence-based argument in their writing. This involves reading and synthesizing materials that offer multiple perspectives, and writing something that shows students are able to navigate through conflicting positions to come up with a nuanced argument. For those trained in the five-paragraph,
non-fact-based writing style that is rewarded on the SAT, shifting gears can be extremely
challenging. “The SAT does [students] no favors,” Gere says, “because it gives them a diminished view of what writing is by treating it as something that can be done once, quickly, and that it doesn’t require any basis in fact.”
I do not believe that I am ready to take the SAT writing part, because I need to work on my sentence structure, my grammar skills and also the way I want to respond to the topic at hand.
I also should work on timing myself when I am writing about a specific topic that needs some thinking skills
In Conclusion, I think reading this article was somewhat an eye-opener to both maybe students and teachers, so now maybe they will create a new testing method and also testing time limit.
