Last week a good friend of my took his final. He had to get a 94 or better to get a B in the class. He ended up getting an 86. Now normally it wouldn't be a big deal on whether or not you get a B in a class but for him it meant his job.
He studied hard and worked through many tough challenges this semester including deaths in his family, sick, and over stressed but that didn't seem to be enough.
So this week he called the professor and asked him if there was anything he could do to earn two points on his final grade so that he could get a B in his class. The teacher just plainly said nope. When my friend asked if there was any extra credit assignment to do the teacher said you can retake the exam. This sounded like a good idea until he told my friend that the material being covered on the new exam was all the material he hadn't gotten to cover in class yet.
Honestly who wants to take a test over material that wasn't covered in class and not know what would be on the test and not.
The whole situation is crummy, and honestly why can't some people just bend due to the holiday spirit and the fact that his job is in stake.
I just feel that those people just hate their jobs because it seems that they are out to make other people suffer and have no mercy for them.
