semi-related tale. when i was in college, there was a snow storm and a bachelor party in the same week... so I missed 2 of 2 classes before the friday quiz. the class was hard already and i wanted to at least show that i cared about the course. so, I showed up to the quiz anyway. i ended up spending 40 mins or so writing about how the rhythmic hip thursts of some historical science person had changed my entire life and the landscape of modern dance. i had zero clue what the quiz was on and deserved to fail. i got a 50 % on the quiz and the professor thanked me, but asked that i never do that again. that was a fucking win over a zero. sometimes people just need a good laugh.
Isn't a 50% still failing? (Assuming this is in the US and is not a heavily weighted grade scale they're using.)
I assume the quiz was just a portion of the total grade. Scalping some points you don't deserve is still a win.
True.
