If we must have evaluation, at least do it
without grades. Grades are not good indicators
of intellectual ability; we must abolish
them. Then we will have students who are
motivated by factors such as interest, factors
more important than a letter on a transcript.
And the abolition of grades will encourage
us to concentrate less on evaluation and more
on instruction.

argument, one must presume that
A. wherever grades exist, instruction
is poor.

ability that are better than grades.

students.

only in a school situation.

to effective education.

average.
B. interest in the subject matter of
their course.
C. the evaluation criteria established
by their instructors.
D. a thoroughly prepared instructor.

disciplines.

at which of the following audiences?

Read the passage below and answer the
three questions that follow.
We should spend more time enjoying life
than preparing for its challenges, but sometimes
we don’t. For example, toward the end
of every semester, all students at the university
are tired and grumpy because they have
spent long nights preparing for final exams.
Consequently, they rarely look back on
college as a time spent enjoying good fellowship
and fine entertainment.
