I would prefer to write a five page report at home, because preparing a report at home will give you less stress, if you are in your house you can think freely and concentrate on your work well, you can use special tools like books and dictionaries where you can research some of your reports. You can also use the internet and computer to research and type the report to make you easier, and if you are in your house you can construct your report immediately and beautifully because the tools you had used, specially nowadays our equipment or tools are high technology and you cannot just bring those tools in your school. unlike in school it is more stress and you cannot just use any of the tools for your report writing. so if my instructor given me a consideration to make my report at home i prefer to choose homework. and we have a saying that "there is no place in the world like home".

Dear instructor:
I am a student in your English writing class. In response to your email regarding about final exam survey. I would prefer to write a five-page report at home.
Although option A is ok. This final exam survey just need to memorize something and to spend 3 hour to complete the test. Almost students will just review the content what you will cover in the exam. I think it is not useful. Option B could encourage the students searching some information and it will bring much knowledge to us. This option will promote the students learning more active.
If the students prepare for report, we need to collect information in the library or on website. During this process, it is another chance for students learning by themselves. Through writing report process, we will learn new resources and good idea from other authors. Moreover, it has 5-page length let us write own opinion and ideas on the report.
Of course, This is just my opinion. I think either option i will accept.
Best regards

I appreciate your inviting our opinions on the option of a final report in lieu of a final exam in this class.
If given the choice, I would prefer to turn in a five-page term report than to sit a final exam. I firmly believe that writing is a craft that, in order to produce the best work product, should not have imposed time constraints. When we are asked to write exams under short timelines, such as 3 hours, that tends to favour efficiency over quality, and I have found in past exams that my writing suffers tremendously.
I would much prefer to have the opportunity to sit with a term project or report at home, think through both the content and the writing style, and produce a final paper that I have spent some effort on and that I am proud of.
Especially given the report/exam is worth half the course mark, I think it only fair that we are given the time and opportunity with a final project to assimilate some of the lessons of the course, and put them down in a report that is worthy of your final assessment!
