I am absolutely outraged from what I have seen today. Professor Lin's midterm was significantly harder than Proffesor Lu's midterm for dynamics. I am not one to normally complain but in this scenario it is granted. Proffesor Lin challenged his class with question that we haven't seen before. The solution involved many more equations and complete understanding of the course where as Proffesor Lu's midterm was copied and pasted from his posted assignment problems and didn't involve any curvilinear motion or integration basically what we had done in physics in grade 12. I tested myself to do Proffesor Lu's midterm and was finished with it in 50 minutes. I am in Proffesor Lin's class and I struggled to finish his midterm or even understand the questions as they were brand new to me. Even the extra theory questions for Proffesor Lu's midterm were basic principles while Proffesor Lin's midterm required deeper knowledge.

Engineering students are competing for the same number of credits for the exact same course but are given two different midterms with polar opposite difficulties. How can you let this happen and now that it has how are you going to fix it. If I do not recieve a warranted answer I'm going to have to discuss it further with my Union.

I am the real Keval. I am not willing to forfeit my mark. The previous comment is from an imposter.

I found this test really easy, and I don't see where you're going with this petition, so for that reason I'm out

I thought the midterm was fair, but I'll sign your petition if it makes you feel better.

I also don't think I did very bad on Bill's midterm, but it's still unfair for most students. you can do Hua Lu's test well even if u didn't know the concept. So I support the creator of the petition

I express the same feelings as the creator of this petition. Especially given the fact that the course does not Grant too many opportunities to boost marks.

I like the idea and I like what you're trying to do, but I don't trust you as a partner. For that reason I'm out
