PASSAGE TWO
IF I WERE AN EXAMINER
I am a student. I have a long-standing grudge against examiners. They never seem to understand
the position of a student. We work all the year round and finally sit in the examination. We do
our best to answer the questions. We strive to get a pass. But, what happens? The examiner
doesn`t like this ideas of ours. Consequently, we have to put in other year in the same course.
If I were an examiner, I would see that I don`t set any questions out of course. It happens many
times those examiners set questions which the boys are not expected to know, as they are not
included in the syllabus.
I shall be very careful in framing questions. An examiner`s job is to test the comprehension of
the boys. This doesn`t demand questions set in the paper are more difficult than the text itself.
Sometimes even well prepared students fail to do justice in to the examination hall because
questions are not in level with the expected attainment of the boys and set questions accordingly.
A boy who understands the text soul gets a pass. That way I sell try to be judicious.
Marking answer books again is a job, which requires greater skill and experience on the part of
an examiner. I shall make a careful examination of the answers. Sometimes the answers are not
what we expect. They might be different from what we desired. The different may be the result
of temperament, training education and personal likes and dislikes. This is particularly possible
in questions on poetry, drama and short stories. Every one of us can look at things according to
our own expertise and personal ideas. But if the answer is convincing and probable, I shall give it
as much credit as to one which is after my mind. In short, I shall be, liberal in judging the
examinees.
Thus, as an examiner, I shall not be rigid, narrow minded and dogmatic. My job will be that of
judicious, liberal and accommodating examiner.
