Rate the following essay on its writing, argument, and language skills:
In "Making Mona Lisa Smile," the author describes how a new technology called the Facial Action Coding System enables computers to identify human emotions. These computers can actually "calculate" your emotions. Dr. Paul Eckman is the creater of the Facial Action Coding System. Dr. Eckman classified it in six basic emotions- happiness, surprise, anger, disgust, fear, and sadness. These are calculated by facial expression, the movement of the muscles on our face. This seems quite very interesting and out of the ordinary, but would the use of this new technology to read student's emotional expressions be valuable in a classroom?

In my opinion, yes. This technology could really help the comprehension and learning of students because as the author mentions the prediction of Dr. Huang in paragraph six, "A classroom computer could recognize when is student is becoming confused or bored," and this is exactly true because if teachers could recognize the students emotions then they can also modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor, which the author also mentions. When we think of the word "communication" we automatically think "talk" and that is not quite right, because how the author also mentions towards the end of paragraph six, "Most human communication is nonverbal, including emotional communication," so knowing this fact, how would we expect for students to speak up and ask questions about a lesson they are confused about?

I would also like to mention is that if we had this new technology teachers would know what is wrong with a student. A lot of times students are going through things at home, which could keep them distracted in class. If teachers know the student is angry or sad, the teacher could have a talk with him or her. Get it out of their mind and try to keep them as best concentrated in the lesson as possible. Teachers would also be able to see who isn't concentrating and call them out in class to get their attention.

In conclusion, these computers could help so much because teachers never know how that student is really feeling, we could think their head is down because they are feeling sick but maybe they're just sad or angry. They also could tell if they're confused and simply try to teach the lesson another way around. Maybe the student is feeling "fear" to ask a question about something he or she is confused about because they'd feel embarrased infront of their classmates. Whatever the case is, this new technology would really be valuable in a classroom, and it could help the school community in general, making it more easy for teachers to teach and mainly for students to learn.
