Ross, an official of the State Pen-
By Student Opinion Surveys.
AUSTIN, Tex, Feb. 28. A ma
jority of American college stu
dents believe final examinations
are a help rather than a draw
back. Nevertheless, nearly 25 per
cent say that there is room for
improvement in the method of
testing a student's knowledge in
a course, a nationwide survey rep
resenting the entire enrollment
shows.
Shortly after fall semester ex
aminations had been held on most
campuses, Student Opinion Sur
veys of America, the scientific
weekly poll of college thought, had
its interviewers ask a representa
tive sample of collegians, "Do you
believe final examinations are a
help or a drawback to you per
sonally?" Exams arehelp, nenr
ly six out of every ten (58 per
cent) declared. An the reasons
most often mentioned are exempli
fied by these typical comments:
"Examinations make me re
view and assimilate what I
have learned; they give he a
bird's eye view of the course."
Swarthmore freshman.
"Exams make me work. I
never study until I cram for fi
nals." DePauw senior.
"They help me catch up with
things I may have overlooked
in a course." U. of Pennsyl
vania (Johnstown Center) jun
ior. There are many, many students,
however, who disagree. This is
what some them saia:
"Exams work me up into a
nervous state: I don't remem
ber anything." Wooster college
(Ohio) sophomore.
"I have to cram for finals. I
believe in shorter tests through
out the year." Montana State
freshman.
Examinations are not a true
evaluation of one's knowledge.
It is better to learn by daily
study than craming for the fi
nal." University of Denver
Soph.
Despite the majority belief that
exams are a help, only 45 percent
of the nation's students, in an
swer to the question. "Do you be
lieve final examinations should be
continued, or should some other
method be found to test your
knowledge in a course ?" chose the
first alternative.
Woman students believe finals
are less a help to them than do
men, the poll shows. Likewise
woman students are much more
prone to discredit final examina
tions as a good method of test
ing a student's knowledge in a
course than are men. The emo
tional strain many say is caused
by exams may explain the wom
en's greater dislike for finals. One
girl admitted, "They scare me to
death."

by some cells located above his
