Dear rector and pro-rector,
I am writing you in name of all students that are unhappy with the decision
that students cannot cancel their grades and enter the make-up exams. Many of
our students will have big problems now how to keep the average grade above 8.00
and keep the scholarship.
This decision means that it was better
for students to be irresponsible and not to prepare all exams in one week. In other
words, they could organize their time and prepare three exams out of six for
the finals and three again for make-ups. That has no sense.
Allowing students to cancel their grades and enter make-up exams is on some way
award for their work to prepare all these exams even if they had some problems
to organize everything in just one week.
It is also against the Bologna system of education. According to this system
that we are using, like many other world universities, students have the right
to cancel their grades if they are not satisfied with them.
Here you have also a petition signed by 100 students that share the same
opinion.
Sincerely yours,
IBU Students

PLEASE CHANGE THIS. I have a 7.9 average right now and I really need to retake my math exam to get my scholarship back.
literally everyone is stressed out about this. stop making it harder than it already is
Ridiculous decision. Why punish the people who actually tried to take all their exams at once? Makes no sense at all.
This is so unfair. Most of us are struggling to keep the scholarship and one bad week shouldn't ruin our entire year.
TOTAL BS. They are basically telling us it is better to be lazy and spread exams out than to work hard and get a grade you dont like.
