The Truth or Lie
Salam... Hi all....
Final exam has end and all the results are posted on the internet. Including my students... But guess what... I failed a student because he got 58% on his/her continuous evaluation and 18% on his final exam. 68+18/2 = 43%... Can't do more to help him/her to pass...
Oddly, he/she manage to do his/her quizzes and assignments... He/she failed his test... My colleagues said, if the students are part time students, we should pass them because they pay a lot for each subject... But what if they are really really weak? Should I pass them as well... People will question my integrity as a lecturer and the quality of my assessment... isk isk isk...
Turns out, the student I failed is a brother/sister of a colleague... and now he/she's not talking to me... I don't take this seriously because Im just doing my job.. By the way, I cought him/her cheating on his/her quizzes but I still give him/her chances to rectify his/her mistakes... Am I that bad?
I also gave these students an extra assignment to help them with the continuous evaluation, be he/she chose to turn it in the day after I process the marks and turn it in to the head of department... isk isk... Nottttt....
