        @JohnKucek2 @DanSvensson77 @DrKittyGirl Thank you. I think it's less a case of "passing out 100%" than of "canceling the exam but not wanting to re-weight everything else being evaluated because that would be fundamentally unfair to someone."

      @JohnKucek2 @DanSvensson77 @DrKittyGirl There's been times when I had to cancel planned projects because the school changed the schedule or added holidays or whatever and there was no time for them. I always give everyone 100% on them because anything else would unfairly re-weight things to more than originally stated.

    @JohnKucek2 @DanSvensson77 @DrKittyGirl Oh, and... I'm more passionate in my frustration. It sucks seeing how counterproductive the grading system we're stuck using is, and knowing admin will never, ever consider changing it in a positive or helpful way during my lifetime, or likely my kid's lifetime either.

      @JohnKucek2 @DanSvensson77 @DrKittyGirl Education could be so much better, if we weren't so trapped in dated systems and dated approaches. But... we allowed admins (including many who know nothing about teaching) take over, and now universities are mostly trapped. Sigh.
