Online Examination

The pilot project of online examinations recently is under heated discussion in the universities. Though online examinations have been tried in some foreign countries, they are still fresh for Chinese colleges. People hold unanimous views on them.

Online examinations have their own special advantages of creating a just environment for tests, which is called green tests and permits no cheat because each student will have a different online paper. However, the popularization of online examination is unavoidably facing many challenges, such as the establishment of a complete performance criterion on online examination, principles of supervision and strict training of staff, but among them the most important one is the requirement for equipment. Due to the unbalanced development in education, many universities in some remote areas are incapable of purchasing so many computers for testing and create an examination point.

In spite of so many challenges for online exams, as a reform of modern examinations, I believe that online exams will be adopted in more examinations. Every trial will be perfected in practice and there is no exception to online examinations. (180 words)

网 考

网考的试行近期在大学中受到热烈的讨论。虽然国外一些国家已经尝试过网考了，但对中国的大学来说，网考还是个新鲜事物。人们对网考的看法一致。

创造公平的考试环境，即所谓的绿色考试，不允许作弊，在这方面网考有它们独特的优势，因为每个学生都将有一份不同的在线考卷。但是，网考的普及不可避免地会面临许多挑战，比如完善的网考成绩衡量标准、监管制度和受过严格训练的人员，但是这其中最重要的一点是对设备的要求。由于教育发展的不平衡，偏远地区的许多大学无法为了考试而购买那么多电脑，也无法设立考点。

尽管网考面对许多挑战，然而作为现代考试的一种改革，我相信它将在更多的考试中被采用。每一次尝试都会在实践中得以完善，对于网考来说也不例外。
