The two main examinations administered by teachers are the mid-term and final tests. Therefore, all teachers usually coordinate to conduct the mid-term and final test during the same week. In addition to the two tests, teachers are allowed to administer other tests or quizzes on their own. Before conducting the mid-term or final test the teachers should check the attendance records of the students. Students must attend at least 75 of the lectures in order to participate in the mid-term or final test. If they have attended less than 75 then they are given additional duties as a condition for participating in the mid-term or final test.The procedure for conducting the mid-term or final test is shown in Chart 9 below: Chart 9: Procedure for conducting mid-termfinal test Source: document of quality control unit of KUM YES SSS Teachers administer the test NO Teacher announces the schedule of the test Students individually prepare for the examination An instruction letter from university management for teachers to conduct the test.

If the teachers are able to follow the rules, they might attain forms of cultural capital that enable them to perform well as the KUM teachers as Nolan 2012, p. 204 mentions that, “the relative smoothness of the gamefield often depends upon the players blindly accepting and following these rules, regardless of how arbitrary they might seem.” As a teacher continues to engage in the game, heshe willingly follows the rules so that heshe will be able to feel the game Bourdieu, 1990. The next section of this chapter describes the School of English Education that acts many of the rules teachers are required to follow. This is the school that has the largest enrolment of students at KUM.
