what should determine a student's grade?

     When it comes to a student's grade, people can never agree with each other.

     Some argue that student's grade should be determined by their test results, for such a yardstick ts more objective. In this way, the focus of teaching is oriented to the preparation for tests. And thus, every point counts.

     On the other band, others hold the opinion that it is students' attitudes towards study and their performance in class that play a significant role in students' grade.

     As far as i am concerned, I support . the opinion. The goal of teaching is to cultivate students' study habit and develop their   interest in learning more than preparing them for tests. Test is just a measure of checking students' study. Only when a student Has proper attitudes and active class involvement can we say diat he has understood what study really means.

     In conclusion, as learning is more a process than a result, students, grade should be determined by their daily performance.
