Hogwarts: I am the White Demon King

#145 - Chapter 145 Examination Reform

Hearing Professor McGonagall's words of support, Sebastian felt as refreshed as drinking an ice-cold cola.

Hehe!

With Professor McGonagall's support, this matter is basically settled.

As for Old Dumbledore, he doesn't even say a few words to support me, just sitting there like a wooden dummy.

Not a qualified hype man at all.

Sebastian looked at Professor McGonagall and said with a smile.

"Secondly, I want to reform the exams."

"We all know that, in fact, for professors, exams are only used to test students' knowledge mastery."

"Through exams, students can understand how much knowledge they have mastered in the past year and in which areas there are still deficiencies."

"To put it bluntly, exams are not the goal; the ultimate goal is for students to master knowledge."

"My idea is to divide each subject into mandatory knowledge points and ordinary knowledge points."

Hearing this, Dumbledore frowned and interrupted.

"Is this idea of dividing knowledge into different levels too utilitarian?"

"Are those ordinary knowledge points not important then?"

"You misunderstood, Headmaster," Sebastian looked at Dumbledore and explained with a smile.

"This is what I'm thinking: in fact, every course has some knowledge that students must master."

"This can be seen from the exam papers every year; there are always some questions that are always tested every year."

"Since this is the case, why don't we just be straightforward and let the professors select the most important points of this academic year and directly designate these knowledge points as mandatory knowledge points?"

"Then, add mandatory questions to the final exam."

"We can generously announce to the students which knowledge points are mandatory during this year's learning process."

"In this way, during the learning process, students will naturally work hard to master those knowledge points."

Listening to Sebastian's explanation, Professor McGonagall slowly understood the benefits of doing so.

To put it bluntly, the little wizards' revisions are generally concentrated in May of each year, and they need to review a course from beginning to end in one month.

Through Sebastian's method, students can evenly distribute the pressure of revision throughout the academic year.

For example, when learning mandatory points, the little wizards will naturally want to immediately master these knowledge points.

Before the exam, they can spend more time reviewing those ordinary knowledge points.

This is what Sebastian said: the ultimate goal is for students to master knowledge.

Of course, fifth-year and seventh-year students will not enjoy this treatment, after all, both the O.W.L. and N.E.W.T. exams are the responsibility of the Wizarding Examinations Authority.

Professor McGonagall became excited and actively suggested.

"If that's the case, we can be stricter."

"Mandatory questions are not included in the total score, but if all the mandatory questions are answered incorrectly, the exam will be failed directly."

"After all, given that the information is readily available, students have plenty of time to learn this knowledge. If they can't master it, it can only mean that the student is too lazy."

"In addition, I think it's best to set some of the mandatory questions as practical projects, because these skills are essential for students to enter society."

"For example, for Charms class, specific spells can be selected that students must master."

"The same approach can be taken for Potions class."

Sebastian nodded with a smile: "That's a great suggestion!"

"After all, if the mandatory knowledge points are scored, the little wizards can simply study these mandatory points to pass the exam."

"According to your suggestion, students will not be able to take shortcuts."

"As for the specific details, professors can brainstorm and discuss them."

"Regarding the exam, I also discovered a problem."

Problem?

Professor McGonagall looked at Sebastian in confusion.

"I found that, except for a very few diligent students, most students are relatively lazy."

Sebastian's voice slowly rose.

"Generally speaking, most students will not actively review the knowledge they have learned until May."

"In fact, it's not that they won't work hard. Every May, these students are equally diligent, but they are usually too lazy."

"In response to this, I suggest learning from Muggles and adding a midterm exam after Christmas to assess students' knowledge mastery in the first half of the year."

"Through this exam, professors can also understand the specific situation of students and adjust the teaching content and methods accordingly."

"For the five major basic subjects of Transfiguration, Charms, Potions, Herbology, and Defense Against the Dark Arts, professors can even increase the frequency of exams."

"For example, have a simple quiz every two months, or even every month, for no other reason than to let students know their weak points in learning."

"After all, these five subjects are so important that students can find good jobs as long as they learn these five courses well."

"In this way, we are indirectly helping students, allowing them to evenly distribute their revision throughout the academic year, rather than concentrating it in May."

Professor McGonagall nodded in agreement, she couldn't agree more with Sebastian's statement.

Students do need to put more effort into the five major basic subjects.

Most of the other elective courses only broaden the students' knowledge.

These elective courses only serve to enhance their job search.

Especially a certain Divination class, not only do the little wizards not learn anything, but it is also useless for finding a job.

"Headmaster, Professor McGonagall," Sebastian's voice became serious.

"Regarding exam reform, I have one more point to add."

"I want to set the Disarming Charm, the Stunning Spell, the Petrification Charm, and the Shield Charm as the four spells that students must master upon graduation."

"If possible, it's best to add the Apparition Charm as well."

"Students will only be allowed to graduate if they have mastered all of these spells."

"Oh?" Dumbledore's questioning voice rang out, "Why do you want to do this?"

"You need to know that the Shield Charm is very difficult, and many adult wizards cannot master this spell."

"Wouldn't this requirement be too harsh for students?"

"The reason is very simple," Sebastian looked at the two professors firmly, "The Dark Lord has reappeared."

Hearing the words "Dark Lord," Professor McGonagall's heart tightened.

She glared at Dumbledore and Sebastian angrily.

These two fellows actually let a few students face Professor Quirrell, who was possessed by Voldemort.

It's outrageous!

She opened her mouth, just about to complain to Sebastian again, when she heard Sebastian continue.

"Within ten years, or even five years, the Dark Lord will definitely make a comeback."

"At that time, there will definitely be another wizarding war."

"We can't explicitly tell the students about this situation, we can only silently push them."

"Let them learn the means of attack, defense, and escape."

"Headmaster, Professor McGonagall, do you think this reason is sufficient?"
