minus-squarePhoenixz@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up17·4 days agoActual conversation I had with an admin after I graded ab exam with 70/100 after a student made 2 big and 2 small mistakes on an exam You have to grade her exam 100 But she made a bunch of mistakes She wants the grading 100 or she’ll leave But then what is the point of grading?
