failing due to less than .1 of a percent
You absolutely right and I do apologize for that. Don't get me wrong, I do take blame for having my grade be so low, and know I could have done certain things better to have been in a better position. I have a bad tendency to overthink the questions and talking myself out of the right answer. It's something that I've struggled with throughout nursing school. I was just extremely frustrated when I made those posts. My biggest issue being her lack of response to my emails, and my belief that she was denying me points that I answered correctly, but got wrong due to a keying error that would have put me at passing. Overall Update: I had intended to go to the Dean to appeal my grade due to the Keying error. It's a policy at my school which wouldn't have resulted in ant consequence that I know of. However, my professor did reward everyone an extra point on one of the previous exams that bumped me over to passing, which I was extremely grateful for. I agree with pretty much everything everyone said here, was just extremely frustrated with the situation, and hoped for some sort of compassion from the staff due to the minimal amount. Luckily, the situation played out to my favor, and I'm taking it as a learning experience, and to not take any point for granted. I appreciate all of your responses.

failing due to less than .1 of a percent
The thing is, my classmates and I have heard she had made exceptions for others in the pass, and I feel like we got the short end of the stick due to the corona virus and that crap exam at the end of the semester. She also hated our class for reasons that stem to the beginning of the semester. Also, She's refusing to look at at final at points I'm missing that the key is marking me wrong for due to it being fill in the blank, another classmate being in the same position . She's deliberately choosing to let some of us fail

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.
