"Privatizing higher education-generating knowledge or making more money for the opulent" got 40 Islamiat and Journalism ruined.

how examiner select topics
 

first of all
the person who check essay paper is different from who prepared paper???
is this right?
if yes then the paper checker will not be expert in all topics of history or quotational essays....
if this is the case then how he/she cheks the papers??

please elaborate the scenario....


second is...
how the person who sets the paper select those essays?
i want to say

have he/she read those topics anywhere
eg in newspaper,,,, digests etc...

i am not talking about ordinary topics
but topics like that
1. History is a gallery of pictures in which there are few originals and many copies
2. The higher you go up,the harder you fall
3 literature as a great cultural artifact
4. Post-modern ethos - a challenge to the west
5. Look to the east for a holistic progress
6. The character of a nation can be judged by its symbolic narratives
and bla blaa...


ever these topics appear in newspapers/digests/
or related to essays of G B Russel etc etc etc

from where examiner take such topics and the aspirant who cleared such topics ...from where they gained such knowledge...


i hope you have understand what i am seeking for.

Dear respected members could you kindly give some insight about the theme of your essay. On how many pages you guys wrote outline and approximate word count. I got 20 marks on this topic. Mostly I talked generally that how and why incompetent people resort to violence in order to suppress opposition. I wrote about how dictators in various countries usually resort to violence. Cambodia Iraq etc. Then i came towards Pakistan and wrote that Pakistan suffered immensely due to incompetent rulers. Especially I focused On Zia era that during his era how kalashinkov and drug culture emerged in Pakistan and that was due to the dictators incompetency that violence erupted in the country. Violence is the tool of incompetent which they use against competent people and they rely on violence to make strengthen and prolong their agenda or rule.

Please qualifiers tell me about your theme. Thanks.

Good. I also attempted this essay (Essay # 01). Alhamdulillah, I have passed CSS-2014 written examination in 1st attempt. Please pray for my next step, Thanks.

I attempted "Look to the East for a holistic progress".
However, someone has rightly pointed out that it's not the Essay but English Précis and Composition which has been slaughtered in 2015. I figured that out while attempting that paper. Just the objective made it clear enough. Then paper pattern was changed to a great degree.

Good'luck!

I wasn't very much happy with this outline though, I successfully managed to secure 50 marks. The reason why I wasn't satisfied with this outline is that I often get confused by such topics that are open to wide discussion and different interpretation. In 2013, I got 45 marks, and this year 50. As per my experience, I recommend all not to pick generic topics

The argumentative and literary topics attract me more than general or current topics. Current topics demand ample knowledge with figures and statistics, whereas argumentative demands creativity.
