Today,
using internet during a test or an exam would be cheating, but recently there
have been a debate whether or not students should be allowed the use of internet
during tests and exams. Being allowed internet give us the ability to research
facts about whatever we would be writing about, and therefore, the evaluation
will be more focused on how we present the facts, rather than what we know. Even
though internet can be a huge advantage, it can be “dangerous” as well, because
finding reliable information can be hard, and it is easy to just use the first
you find when you search on Google.
So I think
whether or not students should be allowed internet during a test or an exam
should be dependent of what kind of subject you’re writing about. If there is a
history test, where the whole point is to test you on dates and historical
events, having internet might be a too huge advantage.
