Subject: Suggested Improvements in Holding Faculty Exams
Date: 21th November

Purpose
The purpose of this report is to comment on conditions of holding our faculty exams and to make recommendations for possible improvements.

Holding Faculty Exams
Although conditions of holding faculty exams are generally good, there are some problems. Firstly, we have rigid examination schedule and there is no accumulation procedure at the faculty.
Secondary, the part of our students are non-residents and their families live far from the capital, but during the exams they have to stay in Minsk. We are given two or three days for preparation for each exam and these students have no opportunity to spend their holidays during the winter session at home(I mean Christmas and New Year).

Suggested Improvements
There are number of changes that could be made in order to improve the situation. To begin with I would strongly suggest that students should be permitted to accelerate session exams and to sit for an ahead-of-schedule examination. Furthermore, we would avoid the overcrowding that sometimes exist during the session.
Also it would be a good idea to make our schedule more flexible and to hold exams after Christmas.

Conclusion
To sum up, while the most of us are satisfied with the conditions of holding faculty exams, I feel that the above improvements would make things even better. If such changes were done, it would mean that all of the students would be able to get the maximum benefit.
