Hello everyone, wanted to reach out here to see if anyone here has been in a similar experience. We are coming to a close on one of our classes before preceptorship, and as we are, not only did I but 3 other of my classmates finished less than a percent away from a passing grade in the class. With that said, there have been factors that have led to us getting a lower grade than we thing that we deserve such as our professor's refusal to throw out questions that a majority (if not all) of the class got wrong (faulty/bad questions), as well as a makeshift HESI constructed by our professor as well as some of the other nursing staff due to social distancing of the Corona Virus. That of which had extremely poor written match calculation questions that from my understanding, a huge portion of the class also had trouble with/answered wrong, as well as fill in the blanks (some of which I got marked wrong for even though I typed basically the same thing as the write answer. I know this as we were allowed to review it after). Our professor refuses to round the grade since it is apparently against our school's policy ( that of which I cannot find), nor refuses to even start a discussion which has led me and the other to take this to the director and the dean. With the pandemic going on and the changes being made, alongside other aggravating factors throughout the semester, I feel it's to the point of being unethical to simply let us fail by a percent that could be rounded up, or even give us some sort of assignment to add a point to the last exam.
Was wondering if anyone else has gone through a similar experience or know someone who has, and how it was handled. I'm going to be devastated if I have to repeat a semester being only .04%, another one of my classmates only being 0.01% away.
