mona lisa smile vs. charles dickens'

In the movie Mona Lisa Smile, the professor Katherine Watson sees that the students have already mastered everything in the textbook and so she starts teaching them art that is not in the textbook and she tells them that they don't have to like the art, they just have to consider it. she begins a new teaching  method called progressive teaching. in the Charles Dickens' mid-nineteenth century novel, he says that he wants the students learning nothing but facts. Katherine Watson wants the students to have their own view of the art rather than the textbooks view of it and Charles Dickens doesn't care what the students think or what their view on something is because doesn't want them learning anything but facts.

My favorite part of the movie is when the college professor stopped letting the college students control her and get to her. She was wrong for hurting her boyfriends feelings when he came 3,000 miles to propose to her and so it came back on her toward the end of the movie when she found out that the college professor that she was seeing was lying to her. Bettie was so busy trying to ruin everyone else's happiness but she ended up getting a divorce.

I think that the Mona Lisa Smile movie will be about a teacher that is teaching at an all girls college and she doesn't have much experience. one of her students decides to get married and she starts to miss class.

college exams vs. high school exams

in my opinion, I think that college exams are more difficult than high school exams because they cover more material rather than a high school test that only covers a small amount of material. and also, college exams count toward your grade in that class more than a high school exam. college exams are way less frequent than high school exams. instead of having a test every week. You will only have 2 or 3 exams for a semester in college. you could probably cram for a high school test and still get a decent grade on your test. but if you did that for college, you would most likely bomb the exam because you can't study 3 or 4 chapters in one night and expect to know it all.
