Encoding of grades, 18 students harmed?


People have prolly heard about a lot of students failing this semester. I don’t exactly know what to say. All I know is that everyone’s very hopeful that this will turn out to be a joke because it won’t matter if in the end, if it was all a nasty prank.

But why would professors lie to us about something this serious?

Okay, I’m being incoherent and all. Reality bites and tells me in the face that a professor like ours wouldn’t joke about.. grades.

Around eleven students from the third year failed Medical Bacteriology Lab.

Around seven students from the graduating class failed Industrial Microbiology..

Who these students are, we don’t know yet. Eighteen students will be “harmed” in the end but we are all mourning.

1. The anonymity is making everyone freak out.

2. Even if some people know they’re safe in terms of grades, they fear for their friends or thesis groupmates who are potential candidates.

3. Even if some people know they’re safe, they’re still scared because of some inevitable things such as.. error.

4. 5 for a grade isn’t a good thing, duh.
