Oxford Students Appeal Grades Due To PTSD Suffered By News Of George Floyd’s Death

quote:

---

Oxford University has told students that they can apply for “mitigating circumstances” if their performance in exams was affected by George Floyd’s death.

---

If their exam performance was affected by the death of someone on a completely different continent, they are probably to feeble and stupid to graduate anyways.

frick these dumb kids.

My daughter is in medical school. Some kids in her class complained to the dean about the use of the word “attenuate” on a test saying that it was testing their vocabulary and not their medical knowledge.

He wrote back a snarky response that said “attenuate” was high school level vocabulary. And that the general public expects them as medical students to be a little smarter than the average person.

I can see one of these kids now:

"Ok, what we are going to do is take a picture thingy of your insides with that big circle shaped doohickey over there."

Why the frick is his death affecting kids in the UK?

Since the bells rang to start classes at U of Bologna ...kids have had at least 2 priorities. Meet the opposite sex and push back tests. And have been using creative ways to accomplish both

I came from a very discipline oriented HS. I was floored when in college ..classmates asked the professor if he would postpone the test that v was to be taken that day. Prof let the class vote. I was ready. There was no "voting" out of a test in HS but they voted to postpone it.

Are they serious stating that this common medical term isn't necessary knowledge? I have to use it all the time in the vaccine schedule description and when talking with patients. I have to tell them what it means mostly but that doesn't mean it isn't necessary for me to know that.

So much for the elite minds of the Oxbridge set.
