About grades Every student feel obliged to learn, but it doesn’t mean that they are willing to learn and they might have low motivation in some particular subject which they do not like. Research have shown that motivation is the key determinant of effective learning. Thus, finding a way to increase student’s motivation of study is crucial way creating effective learning. I believe that giving grades to students is not only a good way to stimulate students to more engage in learning but also a chance of self-appraisal. / The potential of study ability can be excavated by attempting to pass or get high grades. Students might strive on their study and further find their best way of learning. Take me for example; I used to do poorly at mathematic and always got low score on tests. In order to chase the higher grades, I adjusted my study pattern, learned some new study skills, reviewed my daily assignments and found out my weakness of sections. Ultimately, I developed a new study skill which successfully help me to get high grades. If there is no any pressure to push me up, I would still use an inappropriate method learning mathematic. That is one benefit of grades encouraging me to learn. / Another advantage is that grades can make students evaluate themselves when they reviewing their effort on particular subject. As an effective learner, he or she should have a frequent and proper self-appraisal to inspect his or her study schedule. The result of grades directly reveal the overall performance. Whenever I realized that my grade is getting lower than before, I saw a sign which reminded me to revise my learning method. Therefore, this is another reason that grade can encourage students to learn. / Of course, different people hold different perspective and I know there are some drawback about considering grades when I learning a new thing. Yet, when I take all the factor into account to pursue a great achievement on study, I still support the statement that grades can help me to learn.
