Yesterday students just found out that something was mis-keyed in the our first exam ( 6 weeks ago) so therefore some of us either lost or gained 1 point, and some people did not have any change. I was one of the lucky ones that gained 1 point so going from a 81 to 82 was no big deal to me. However, there are some that lost a point and was hanging on the borderline of failing with 1 pt making the difference. I personally feel that students should not have points deducted due to the instructor mis- keying the scan tron. I feel for those who thought they passed that exam and didn't. In nursing school 1 point can make a difference and I've seen students fail for that 1pt or less.
The other problem is that we are taking our final today and they are just now letting us know about this even after grades have been posted 6 weeks ago. What do you all think? Should students have point(s) subtracted even if its as a result of the instructor making an error?
