This is not a petition to complain about how hard that test was. This a petition to say that we were tested unfairly on our ability to code in Python. The study guide you gave us, and in relation to the previous years of classes and previous tests this semester indicates this test crossed the line. We were given a test that did not test our ability level that had been tested all semester.
Multiple concepts on that test would have been difficult with the aide of a partner or as an assignment. Also the idea that new complex topics were introduced the day before and were tested extensively is just cruel. To test beginning programmers on these problems while taking away points for syntax and logic errors while timed is simply unfair.
This class is meant to be an introduction into coding and I have very much enjoyed the bulk of the class. However, when a test has not been turned in by ANYONE with one minute of class time left, and whereas over HALF of the students were still taking the test 10 minutes after class time, it becomes apparent that it is not an error on the student side.
Please sign this if you agree that we were unfairly tested and something needs to be done so that our grades do not misrepresent the time and effort we have put into the class.
