Rate the following essay on its writing, argument, and language skills:
Guessing how someone is feeling is hard sometimes which can make it difficult for people to connect with eachother. If we only knew someone's feelings, we could improve how we communicate with people and how productive we are.That can all change with the new technology that can read the emotional expressions of humans. The new technology called Facial Action Coding System, made by Prof. Thomas Huang, can change the lives of students drastically. The use of this technology is valuable in classrooms because it can make it easier for students to process information and keep the students engaged.

Students will be able to learn a lot with the help of FACS because of the way the information is displayed and taught. In paragraph 6 of "Making Mona Lisa Smile", it says " 'A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored,' Dr. Huang predicts. 'Then it could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor.' " If a student was getting tired of the lesson, FACS could detect that the student is losing interest. So, it could change the format of the information and keep the student focused and keep going during the lesson. This will help students a lot on understanding the knowledge that is being given to them because not everyone learns the same way.

The emotions of humans can be hard to detect because most people don't want to verbally communicate or some don't know how to. Students can feel good or relieved if there is a lesson that is not stressing them out and that can actually make information more understandable. Also in paragraph 6 of the article, it says " 'Most human communication is nonverbal, including emotional communication,' notes Dr. Huang. 'So computers need to understand that too.' " Some students may have trouble talking to teachers or asking questions about certain information. With FACS, they no longer have as much anxiety when learning which keeps the student from drifting off. The FACS will be able to keep the students engaged in the information because it is going into their head

more easily and it's less stressful.

Some might be against this innovative technology and argue that students might not learn as well or they might have a decrease in social and verbal skills. The thing is that it will help all students learn because everyone is different and the FACS will allow different students to be exposed to different formats of information. Since lessons could be modified, it will be more understandable for students to process given information. With FACS, students won't be as pressured and can actually be interested in the lessons because it is the best fit for them.

In conclusion, FACS is valuable for students because it will help them improve their understanding of new information and keep them interested. Thus, the FACS would also benefit their mental state because they are considering emotions of kids which could be hard to tell sometimes. FACS could be a new beginning for schools to improve education and engage students in lessons.
