Portfolios are useful tool for identifying the strengths and weaknesses‚ whereas the current standardized tests are provides limited feedback. While the standardized tests are‚ by design‚ suitable for punishing or rewarding purpose‚ the portfolio approach provides insights necessary to improve teaching-learning environment thus‚ serves as a learning tool.

Techniques of Hypothesis Testing Dr. Scott Stevens Objectives When you finish reading this article‚ you should be able to • Determine the appropriate null and alternate hypotheses for your hypothesis test • Determine if your test is one- or two- tailed • Conduct an appropriate test using Excel in any of three ways o Using the critical score approach o Using the non-rejection region approach (for a two-tailed test) o Using the P-value approach

However‚ many schools and colleges use standardised testing to demonstrate how brilliant their students are. Consequently‚ there are many factors that cause standardized testing to not only show false views on students intelligence‚ but some of the factors even have shown that they are an inadequate approach to showing true brilliance. The question that arises from

Standardized achievement tests should be used to make the comparative interpretations that they were intended to provide. They should not be used to judge educational quality (Popham 18).” This is important because it shows that standardized tests are not testing over the correct materials to rate a student on their education. This proves that there is a false evaluation

Although researchers have depended on animal test data to achieve medical advances‚ there should be other means of research because testing on animals is cruel‚ inhumane‚ and often unnecessary. Perhaps it would be more beneficial and humane to test on violent criminals such as rapists‚ murderers‚ and others on death row. The American Medical Association believes that research involving

Dye penetrant inspection: Dye penetrant inspection (DPI)‚ also called liquid penetrant inspection (LPI)‚ is a widely applied and low-cost inspection method used to locate surface-breaking defects in all non-porous materials (metals‚ plastics‚ or ceramics). Penetrant may be applied to all non-ferrous materials‚ but for inspection of ferrous components magnetic-particle inspection is preferred for its subsurface detection capability. LPI is used to detect casting and forging defects‚ cracks‚ and

Animals deserve the same rights that humans have‚ so testing that jeopardizes animal life‚ and safety should come to a cease immediately in the same way that it would if the same testing were to be conducted on human beings. Why is it that people think it is okay to conduct scientific experiments on animals? The most common response to this question is that human
