After the New Year, the second semester begins in all higher educational institutions of the country. For some students, this is just a continuation of education, but for others, the second half of the year is the finish line before graduation. And this means that not far off is such a thing as the defense of a diploma and passing state exams. According to many, GOSy is a real punishment for a student.
Why is this event so scary?
First of all, the fact that GOSs are considered the most important of all exams. The results of their delivery can affect the overall mark for the diploma, which means that they can significantly dampen the reputation of a young specialist. Gos. exams in general in many universities are, if not a complete substitute for the diploma, then the most important component of the assessment of graduate knowledge.
Also, GOSy is the test on which, in fact, it turns out what exactly the student from the lectures, seminars, workshops took out over the years of study. Typically, the list of topics that may fall on this exam includes questions one through five, inclusive. The student could already forget a hundred times what the name of the subject he studied in the first semester of the first year was called, and then it’s snow on his head to get a ticket from his subject. So for many GOSy - this is a real trap.
How are these exams?
Usually, a state exam is conducted orally in order to assess not only the actual knowledge of the graduate, but also his ability to speak in public and answer questions. Such a test clearly shows how much he mastered the art of rhetoric. The only exceptions are disciplines in which calculations, analysis and construction of drawings play a major role in the answer. And then, almost all provide protection for their solution to a problem or project.
How are GOSy?
There is a compulsory commission at the state exam. Most often, it includes several specialized teachers, professors, as well as a representative of the top management of the university. And such a serious composition makes this test even more painful for the most shy students. So for some GOSy - this is an occasion to speak to reputable experts in their field and show their skills and knowledge. And for others - a real shame, despair and the inability to connect two words. It is also an opportunity for many teachers to present their promising graduates to the professors. And often on state examinations future candidates for admission to graduate school are determined .
But what about the answers?
Well and, of course, what state exam will do without various cheat sheets! Answers to GOS can sometimes take a good encyclopedia in volume. And a lot of ways have been invented to deceive teachers. In our digital age, a real find was the reduction of the scanned pages of the textbook - now they can easily be hidden under clothes, between the pages of the set-off or in shoes. Well, other technologies also help students - wireless and Internet technologies now make almost real spies from graduates of higher educational institutions.
