After being told that we were only able to boost our grades during this semester from all the hard work we all have done to be then told 2 weeks before the examination period that the marks we get this semester will only count if we are 2% off a classification boundary is not fair on us students.  The university believes that this is the best option for all students, get the student body is clearly unhappy with this as it makes us feel as if we have put all our hard work into semester 2 just to be told it doesn't matter. Here are quotes from students: 'Does the Uni actually believe this was the best option for us? What the?', '
It’s obvious a lot of people are feeling the same about departments announcements about Semester 2 not counting...especially if other unis are implementing the no detriment policy properly.' and a direct quote from the university -
“Don’t worry everyone, the no detriment policy means your grade can’t go down! Second-semester marks will only RAISE the average!”...as you can see we all feel cheated despite the fact even during a pandemic we all have been working our hardest to get the qualifications we deserve.
