Osztályozó vizsgák

Osztályozó vizsgák

1. Ki és milyen céllal tehet osztályozó vizsgát a középiskolai tanulmányai alatt?

1. Amikor egy diák hiányzásai indokolttá teszik ezt, máskülönben nem osztályozható

2. Az előrehozott érettségi vizsga feltételeinek teljesítéséhez

2. Mit jelent az előrehozott érettségi vizsga?

Az előrehozott érettségi vizsga a középiskolai tanulmányok befejezése előtt, azaz a 12. évfolyam befejezése előtt letett érettségi vizsga. Ennek feltétele a osztályozó vizsga a még nem teljesített évfolyamok tananyagából. 

3. Hogyan lehet előrehozott érettségi vizsgára jelentkezni?

A jelentkezést a tavaszi vizsgaidőszakban a rendes érettségi vizsgákkal együtt kell beadni, mellyel együtt a diákok megkapják az osztályozó vizsgára jelentkezést is. Az osztályozó vizsgák időpontja havi lebontásban: 11. évfolyam - március, 12. évfolyam- április ( a napok a tanév rendjének megfelelően kerülnek kijelölésre)

Az őszi vizsgaidőszakot illetően, az osztályozó vizsgára való jelentkezést a nyár során kell beadni, ennek augusztus 1. a határideje. Az őszi vizsgaidőszakban való érettségi jelentkezéshez az osztályozó vizsgák augusztus utolsó hetében vannak, mind a 11., mind a 12. évfolyamot illetően. . 

Milyen osztályzat kerül a bizonyítványba, ha osztályozó vizsgázik valaki?

Ha valaki osztályozó vizsgát tesz a tavaszi érettségi vizsgák letételéhez, annak a korábban szerzett érdemjegyei semmissé válnak és csak és kizárólag az osztályozó vizsga eredménye kerül be a bizonyítványába. Abban az esetben, ha valakinek az osztályozó vizsgája nem sikerül olyan jól, ahogyan szerette volna, visszalépésre ezután már nincs lehetőség.

Hogyan néz ki egy osztályozó vizsga?

Az osztályozó vizsga 11. és 12. évfolyamon azonos felépítésű és hosszúságú, ezek nyelvi szintben térnek el egymástól. A dolgozatok szintje a pedagógiai programunk által meghatározott szintnek megfelelőek. Időtartama az írásbeli vizsgát illetően 90 perc, a szóbeli vizsga 15 perces. 

Az írásbeli vizsga feladattípusai:

1. Hallás utáni szoveg értése: 2 feladat

2. Olvasott szöveg értése: 2 feladat

3. Nyelvhelyesség: 2 feladat

4. Íráskészség: 1 feladat


A szóbeli vizsga a szaktanárok által meghatározott témakörökből összeállított tételek alapján történik, ennek fontos része az a tananyag, amelyet az adott évfolyamra tervezett a szaktanár és nem csak az addig tanult, hanem a tanév során korábban és később vett tananyagra is vonatkozik, így a jelentkezőknek önálló feldolgozásra is készülniük kell, ha előrehozott vizsga letételét veszik célba.

STEVEN PINKER: THE OPTIMISTIC VOICE OF SCIENCE

In his landmark new book, the Harvard professor argues we are much less violent than our ancestors.

Steven Pinker has dedicated much of his academic life to the study of human nature and, perhaps surprisingly, his latest book is full of good news. In The Better Angels of Our Nature: The Decline of Violence in History and Its Causes, the celebrated evolutionary psychologist and bestselling author argues that we - the human race - are becoming progressively less violent. To the consumer of 24-hour news, steeped in images of conflict and war, that may sound plain wrong. But Pinker supports his case with a wealth of data.

Drawing on the work of a fellow Harvard archaeologist, Pinker recently concluded that the chances of our ancient hunter-gatherer ancestors meeting a bloody end were somewhere between 15% and 60%. In the 20th century, which included two world wars and the mass killers Stalin and Hitler, the likelihood of a European or American dying a violent death was less than 1%.

Pinker shows that, with notable exceptions, the long-term trend for murder and violence has been going down since humans first developed agriculture 10,000 years ago. And it has dropped steeply since the Middle Ages. Oxford in the 1300s, Pinker tells us, was 110 times more murderous than it is today. He calls this movement away from killing the "civilising process".

Nowadays, the notion that life is measurably improving is about as unfashionable as the conviction that western culture is in any sense civilising. Pinker is likely to stand accused of Panglossian* naivety. Indeed, he says that when he told colleagues what he was writing, they said he reminded them of the man who jumped off the top of a tall building and halfway down observed: "It looks good so far."

In an earlier book Pinker wrote: "The strongest argument against totalitarianism may be a recognition of a universal human nature; that all humans have innate desires for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." It's this vision of our common humanity, what Abraham Lincoln called "the better angels of our nature", that animates Pinker's latest book.

* Pangloss: Candide's tutor in Voltaire's satire Candide or The Optimist

0) The good news in Steven Pinker's new book is that humans on the whole are not as violent as in earlier times.

8) The media present a very different picture of the world from Professor Pinker's.

9) Pinker collaborated with several historians and archaeologists to establish approximate figures for violent deaths in ancient and medieval times.

10) With two world wars, and mass murderers Hitler and Stalin, the 20th century was the most violent time in human history.

11) Pinker questions whether the human race has gone through a "civilising process".

12) There is archaeological evidence that in ancient times females were not as murderous as males.

13) Contemporary thinking on the whole tends to be less positive about humanity than Pinker.

14) Pinker's colleagues told him a joke suggesting his optimism was unjustified.

15) Professor Pinker is a great admirer of Abraham Lincoln.

THE QUIZ QUEEN WHO MADE THEM TREMBLE

The quiz master called it an "intellectual blitzkrieg" after Gail Trimble of Corpus Christi College, Oxford led her team to victory in the grand final of the University Challenge competition. Hailed as the brainiest woman on British television, the postgraduate classics student became a cult figure last week, with commentators divided over whether she was to be praised for her brilliance or denounced as "horribly smug".

Laughing excitedly, Trimble, 26, repeatedly slammed her buzzer to address questions ranging from literature to science. Possibly the contest's most successful ever contestant, she scored more right answers than any other participant - getting right over two thirds of all the questions. ("Which of Shakespeare's plays is the only one to be set in Vienna and concerns the city's Duke adopting a disguise?" "Measure for Measure." "Which German bacteriologist gave his name to a shallow glass or plastic cylindrical dish that biologists use to culture cells?" "Petri." "The name of the kingdom that according to Aristophanes was built by birds?" "Cloud Cuckoo Land." etc.)

Tiny Corpus Christi College triumphed over Manchester University but it was the beating the team gave to Exeter University in the quarter final - described by the stunned question master as "less a quiz, more a cull" - that first brought the Trimble phenomenon to public attention.

Not all reaction has been pleasant, though. There have been some nasty comments, and she has been ridiculed on social networking sites for being too intellectual. Miss Trimble - bespectacled with long brown hair and a beaming smile -said she had been taken aback by the hostility after experiencing no such problems at school or university. Asked if she thought there was an element of sexism in it she said: "I'm sure this wouldn't happen if I wasn't a woman."

Trimble, whose mother was a magistrate and father a BT manager, gained four A-levels at A grade and was always a brainbox. "I seemed to find school a lot easier than other people - I realised I was a bit different because my classmates were always asking for help with their homework."

But there's a lighter side too. She likes cooking, gin and tonic and The Simpsons* - and has a boyfriend of five years, Tom West, a trainee solicitor. Nonetheless, it's not always easy having a massive brain. "I've had lots of issues about my self image - I try really hard not to come across as too clever."

A) background as a classical scholar.

B) vast knowledge and fast recall.

D) exceptional brain for a girl.

28) From the quarter final on Trimble received a lot of publicity

A) and she enjoyed it tremendously.

B) and she was surprised by some of it.

C) but she shrugged off nasty comments.
