Take it to the A&M Galveston board.

And as fricked up as A&M Galveston is, at least it's not on the verge of bankruptcy.

I believe the class can vote and all get passing grades if they agree as a group they deserve it.

Galveston is not a great place to go if it's the year 1900.

Wrong. Department heads have the authority to change grades.
bullshite. No academic administrator at a college or university may change a grade submitted by a faculty member, except under the most extreme circumstances, e.g.: death, mental incapacity. Sounds like this instructor was alive and well.

Sounds like a wonderful institution of higher learning. I wonder if they got this technique from Harvard?

Yeah it's a big deal around here. Never had Horwitz but Management wasn't that bad, I hear the guy is pretty horrible though.

An Art History professor at Ole Miss gave everyone a D or below one semester and got canned afterwards and the Dean allowed the students to retake the class for free.


Ole Miss offers 2 "forgiveness classes" though to retake 2 classes throughout your undergraduate years if you'd like a chance to improve your grade. This class was basically a 3rd "forgiveness" and it didn't cost money like a normal "forgiveness" credit would.


I used my 2 forgivenesses to change two C's I got during pledgeship to A's my senior year.
