Rate the following essay on its writing, argument, and language skills:
I believe that the use of the new technology called the Facial Action Coding System would not be valuable towards students in a classroom. One example is that not all humans could possibly express emotions the same way therefore the student may not express an emotion completely. Someone could keep a straight face and feel many emotions. A direct quote from the passage is "she's 83 percent happy, 9 percent disgusted, 6 percent fearful, and 2 percent angry," which I disagree with because it is unrealistic to know all the emotions a person is possibly feeling and especially how much percent of each emotion. I think it's absurd to trust this technology. The computer may be great and have all this amazing technology but there is no way that it could calculate emotions correctly. Another reason I disagree with the Facial Action Coding System to be valuable in classrooms is because not all classrooms need computers to work the way the class does and is supposed to. A direct quote from the article I disagree with is "Then it could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor." I believe that is where the instructing should be, within the instructor. I however agree that the Facial Action Coding System would be valuable to video games. A direct quote to support that detail is "the same techonlogy can make computer-animated faces more expressive-for video games or videosurgery." My final reason i disagree with the Facial Action Coding System to be valuable in classrooms is because the example the article uses does not really support their claim in the strongest ways possible. The direct quote that leads me to believe this is "For example, if you smile when a Web ad appears on your screen, a similar ad might follow." The author should have used more persuading evidence to allow others to think this techonlogy would actually be important or valuable in any situation. These are reasons I do not think that having Facial Action Coding Systems in classrooms would be valuable.
