    Should Sat's Matter Summary

    The title of the article is “Should SAT’s Matter?”. It was written by John Cloud and it was published on March 4, 2001. The main idea of the article is about should the SAT test matter as much as it does. The article shows how a kid that has a GPA of 3.9 and receives a SAT score below a 900 would be denied into the particular school. The article raises the question as to what if that person is very intelligent, but is not that great at standardized tests. The article also talks about colleges that have already done away with the SAT and focused more on what level class that student took when they were in high school.…

    Hays Essay Evaluation

    The essay, Applying the Old Testament Law today, written by J. Daniel Hays reveals an intriguing perception of the Old Testament Law and its application by today’s Christian Church. The author identifies the fact that the Old Testament Law although valuable and necessary for the Israeli nation seems a bit out of place applied to the Christian Church. [1] Initially, He identifies at least a foundational understanding of the existence of laws which Christians may constantly break. Yet, it generally seems that the author is only giving the minimum amount of information needed to lead the reader into the arena of his subject matter. This does not initially seem threatening yet towards the middle of the article there is a statement that stirs some questions about the author’s understanding of scripture and his intentions.…

    The Mask Of The Red Death Analysis

    The story I think will stick to me the most in the years to come is “The Mask of the Red Death”. It was the one that really stuck in my mind. Diseases always seemed alarming to me. That is why I chose to make my short story on a disease. Another reason is all the symbolism, it got under my skin and really left it’s mark. For instance, the ebony clock, and the 7 rooms. They always had given me an indescribable feeling. Another is the imagery of the blood. As the avatar for the disease Edgar Allen Poe represented it very well. Finally the theme, the idea of the story. I understood it as there is no escape from death. That rubbed off on me, and made this my favorite, most haunting, yet most memorable story from Poe.…

    Christopher Columbus Research Papers

    Between the fifteenth and seventeenth centuries, a countless number of European explorers navigated the globe in search of new lands and new treasures. The era, known as The Age of Discovery, gave fame to some of history’s greatest seafarers—Ferdinand Magellan, Vasco da Gama, and John Cabot to name but a few. Of all the great explorers, though, none are as celebrated as Christopher Columbus—the man who “discovered” America.…

    Standardized Testing as a Means of College Entry

    Began in the 1920s the SAT was the first ever use of a standardized test to determine entrance into a college (Pacenza). The SAT was originally developed to keep the upper-class from being the only ones to attend college. College professors at Harvard did not like the fact that only the elite attended their college; they wanted the smartest students from across the country to attend Harvard and thus the SAT was formed as a means to test the ability of said students. Since then the SAT has gone through many changes but one constant has remained: its ability to be simple yet confusing (Pacenza). Today the official use of the SAT is to measure a person’s success rate in college, but there is little evidence to support this. The SAT, therefore, should not be used by colleges as a method of determining admission.…

    Reflective Essay: My Best AP Exams In My School

    My school only offered AP classes to students who were seniors. As a Junior, I wanted to challenge myself, and prepare for college, so I decided to self-study for an exam. After doing some research, I decided that the best AP exams for me were AP Microeconomics and Computer Science. These topics were interesting and were applicable to my prospective careers. I found an online course for AP Computer Science. For AP Microeconomics, I bought an AP exam prep book. Though my aspirations and goals were great, being committed them was a true challenge. I still had to keep my regular school work and activities as a higher priority. I was able to keep track with AP Computer Science for the first semester, but I tried to get through its lessons and assignments…

    Standardized Testing Argument Essay

    Michelle Obama once declared, “If my future were determined just by my performance on a standardized test, I wouldn't be here. I guarantee you that.” If our first lady of the United States of America can be stating that she would have not been successful if she took standardized testing, then why do we base all of our students success on their test scores? Diane Ravitch, one of the major contributors to the No Child Left Behind Act, was once a supporter of standardized testing and believed it could improve public schools. After seeing standardized testing put into place she has now come to the conclusion, the negative impact of high stakes testing and other reforms in the NCLB act. High stakes testing, accountability, and choice involved with the No Child Left Behind Act have hindered American public schools instead of improved the school system.…
