Shall we scrap CCTs?

CCTs should not be scrapped. CCT refers to Common Class Test. Its function is to examine if the student understand what he has been taught. It gives marks which assess the result of one`s working and teachers and parents can also figure out the shortage or progress of the student from the marks. Knowing the level of the student, then it is easier to teach him in more efficient way. Moreover, CCT marks is one important component of the GPA result. If CCTs are canceled, more TAs, assignments, performance tasks, praticle tests and other tests will appear and are all graded. These small tests come to compensate the lacked percentages due to the cancellation of CCTs. Then, the situation will not be what we expect--we would be free to do our own things. Reversely, those small but important tests will cost more time than CCTs. In short, CCT is a good method to assess the working of the students and saves time for us, thus CCTs cannot be scrapped.
