Got this story from a colleague of mine who has a 2nd job teaching medical assistants at a for profit school.
So she gets to the end of the 5 week course, and is preparing to give the final exam. All other assignments, tests, and projects have been done. Per the instructions of the school, she has the students review the questions that comprise the final review of the textbook in class, and gives them the correct answers.
She then tells them that this review will be their final exam next class period.
You would think that means everyone gets 100% on the final, right?
Wrong!
Only two students got 100%. Most missed at least 2 questions.
Several flunked it badly.
Sooooo, to recap folks: she GAVE them the final . . . and they still failed it.
