. Terrace Review — Wednesday, June 15, ‘1988 5 : A) = ; . 4 Ae ? Th oe € TERRA : a of 8 SOHNE re Editor’s note: Freelance writer Betty Barton recently took advan- tage of an opportunity to ask Thornhill Junior Secondary School - students about their feelings toward final exams. Here are the . results. ‘Tanya Hollist Our finals are only a small indication of what we have learned. We all cram for finals. We probably don’t ramember what actually In- terests us. | personally cram two days before the exam and then the moment | put my pen down from the test, | couldn’t tell you a_ thing about that subject. Teacher — Al Lehmann The student's year’s work and final exam mark cor- relate to within five percent in the majority of cases. It is representative. Danlelle Leclerc No, | don't think so because It doesn’t ask you for answers that you really know. If you fail, it doesn't mean that you don’t know the answers to other ques- tions that the test doesn't ask you. Do final exams give an accurate picture of what you really learn in your courses? Jason Edgar No, because they ask about things you don’t know about or understand. But, if you've falled the year, but understand the concepts, the finals can bring your mark up and show the teacher you understand the overall picture, if not the in- dividual details. Freda Wright Each person Is different and learns differently. | know what I’ve learned, but the ex- ams don't show It. Kim Hamakawa If you did your work through the year and actually learned and understood then studying for exams should just be reviewing. This should help you to remember for next year. It is also good practise for those who want to go to university. Margaret Wilson Fina! exams don’t give an accurate representation of what students really know because some people get nervous and forget every- thing or else they forget it as soon as they’ve written the test. i Tina Appler because we have No, various tests throughout the year. But for people who aren't passing, it gives them one last chance. Victor Cote No, because everyone always forgets the work and then remembers only for the duration of the exam. Letters Abortion foes plan cross-country march To the Editor; The largest social action undertaking of our times will begin June 23, 1988 in Prince Rupert, British Columbia, and a few weeks later in St. John’s, Newfoundland. Lifeline, an across Canada march, has been organized by concerned citizens from a variety of groups across the nation calling themselves ‘Canadians For Life’. Its purpose is to demonstrate to the government that the ac- ceptance of abortion is in- ~ tolerable, inhuman and destruc- tive to our country. To tell parliamentarians that we expect a new law that will protect the lives of all unborn children from the moment of conception. The walk will be a town-to- town relay converging in Ottawa September 17, 1988. In B.C, the stream of citizens from south- west and northwest will meet in Kamloops and march east along the Trans Canada Highway. Prince Rupert and Kitimat walkers will arrive in Terrace at 9 am. June 25. At this time there will be a large rally launch- ing the Terrace walkers. Terrace will walk to Hazelton June 25 and 26 and Hazelton to Smi-: thers, etc. Walking will continue throughout the day and night. With the Supreme Court deci- sion on abortion, Canada has come to a crossroads in her history. This nation has a reputation as a country that cares about human rights and especially the rights of its dis- advantaged citizens. Our -na- tional conscience must be ex- tended to include the rights of its unborn citizens. For further information con- tact Isobel Brophy at 635-9359 or Fred Statham, 635-2922.
