Decision Making
First time ever, in my expirience, proffesor or teacher, gave students a chance to decide what to do with their grades for the first test. A lot of people would agree with me that it was a complete chaos and it seemed that we were not goinh to make decision on what to do with it. I, personally, decided to be active( give some ideas) because i got 70 on the test and i wanted a better grade. I know that some people in class did not want other people to get better grades because they were not studing and etc. That was absolute shock for me, i would never think that some people might actuslly do that. Okay, i agreed that 25 extra points is too much, but 10 was enough...but nooo people didn't want other to get these points. Anyway, on the end one guy almosr ruined everything. I swear that after i heard him i almost had heart attack...how could he do that? So, after successfully convincing him that it was positive thing and finally getting what we wanted, i think that we could have handle it differently. For example, we could have break up in several groups and have leaders of these groups argue their points. So, let's just thank our Professor for everything that he did for us and hope that next test is going to be not very hard.

It was a bit mess, too bad we could have done so much better
As the professor said in the class the test was designed to challenge students. He knows that lots of students will do bad in the test and thus lots of them will be asking for some arrangements to be made to improve their grades.
You should not be shocked to hear students who did good opposing the extra credit; that’s something obvious. Students who are in the top want to stay in the top, they have worked for it. Yes, they should not be looking only for their own interests and should have considered themselves as if they were in need and want others’ help, but what can you do people are different.
I agree with you saying that breaking into groups might have helped to take a good decision. If we had several instead of one group, we might have at least avoided all of that conflict and fights among students, and it might also have helped to hear everyone’s opinion concerning this matter.
I agree with you that we should thank our professor for allowing us to decide how to improve our grades. I also almost had a heart attack when the guy disagreed with us and we almost lost everything. But thankfully it was a misunderstanding and we were able to get a curve and extra credit. I did well, but I was hoping that we could help others who wanted to improve their grades, but we should be glad that after all, we got something out of it.
