Background: I have a policy where students in my upper level class must do 10 practice problems for every question that they miss on an exam if they fail. The emphasis is on learning fundamental concepts early and learning from mistakes so future lessons won't be as difficult.
Student 1 [submits test and checks their score]: "Yes!"
Student 2: "What did you get?"
Student 1: "A 61%. Barely passed. I don't have to do any practice problems."
Student 3 [submits test and checks their score]: "Whew! I made it. 64%"
Student 2: "Oh man, I'm nervous."
Student 4 [after checking their score]: "OK, I thought I would fail. I did pretty good."
Student 2: "What did you get?"
Student 4 [proudly]: "68%."
Student 2: "I've never seen so many people so happy to get a score in the 60's." (9/13/22)
