Katherine Watson-MLS

Facts are very useful for knowledge later in life. With facts people know a ton more than they could only from a teacher with no facts. One problem with facts is that they do not go into detail, and cannot bring out the creative side in someone. Katherine Watson is a great example of someone who is not just a teacher of the facts at a school that goes strictly by factual evidence. With a teacher like her, someone can be able to show what their full potential is with all of their creativity. This style of teaching is a great way to help students go through life with a creative mind.

Mona Lisa Smile

Women's roles played a major part in "Mona Lisa Smile". With the time period being in the mid-1950s, women were supposed to be a housewife. No job or post college degree. When Wellesley College gave a job to an art history teacher who thought that she needed to change the way women thought, they were concerned with her roles in her students' lives. She believed that women were not just meant to stay at the house and succumb to any need of their husband, but to achieve what they wanted to do in life. With all of her help, many of her students, and herself, found what the true meaning of living a happy life, even if it did not abide by the status quo.

Mona Lisa

An art education teacher is very confused when she thinks she is teaching at a normal school. "Mona Lisa Smile" is a movie that can have potential if it is made the right way. I believe that the movie will start off with a woman applying for a job as a professor in the 1940s-50s. I think that she will find it hard to teach a class of all girls when they are prepared to begin their lives. It seems like the movie will be about her students getting into the real world through marriage, and her having to find a way to deal with it. She will have to use her education in art to teach the girls a lesson in life.

Exam Levels

There are different types of exams depending on which level you are at. Firstly, there are elementary exams, which are not very hard as long as you listen in class. These are over the most basic material in a subject. Junior High and High School exams are the next level. They are more difficult than the elementary level exams and go over more material. Instead of just scratching the surface of the material, the exams in High School go more in-depth. Finally, College exams are the toughest exams in my opinion. They are the most in-depth of all levels and there is a much higher stake for each exam. In High School, there are usually around 10 exams a semester, where as in College the professor only gives a few, sometimes as little as two. With only a few exams a semester, the exams will reflect your final grade more. In High School, it is easier to study for an exam, and can take much less preparation. In College, there is a need to study much more since the grades effect on a final grade in much higher. In my opinion, High School exams are tough, but overall College exams are more difficult and are worth more to study for.
