In the subject I taught last semester and just this semester, there is this departmental exam which comprises 25% of the final grade of the students. For a student, it is quite onerous since it covers everything in that subject from the time the semester started. Plus the fact that I am not the one who prepared the questions.
More than my students' aptitude, I take it as a test on myself as well. If my students get decent grades, then, it gives me great contentment that they have understood and remembered what I have taught them.
What I do is that I answer the questions by myself and that's how I measure if the questions are indeed fair. And for the past departmental exams, the exams are pretty much fair in which I did expect my students to do good.
Last semester, approximately only 10% of my students passed the departmental exams. That was quite depressing.
Just this semester, approximately 53% of my students passed the departmental exams. Coming from a frustrating result last semester, this is indeed one great news for me. Hopefully, my next set of students will fare just the same or better.
Ayos!
