Re: Need your help - trying to change school policy
Some food for thought.
It may not help you to question what other school's pass % is.
My school actually has a very low fail (60%) compared to yours, however the school purposely curves marks so that the average student achieves about a high 60 low 70. Does this mean that my University is easier than yours?
I don't know. I know that in my last year of BSN (year 4) we officially have lost 50% of our graduating class. That is a lot of students. I think about it.
I know that our calculation med test is 100% to pass with 3 attempts. Does that make our test easier or harder than yours? Or just different?
I kinda like to think about it like sizes for pants in a store, one store tells me I'm a 3/4 another a 1. They are the same size pant though.
Obviously you are still in the program and that's good! Keep up the hard work, and try not to compare schools....it's apples and oranges. Even with an 80% equivalent to an A in my school, only 3 students out of 400 made Dean's list this year.
Hopefully you understand what I'm trying to say...
