In recent years there has been an understanding that any damage or issues that arise during the tug-of-war will be marked with some lenience as there is no time for these issues to be addressed. Dr. Khanna has essentially made the tug-of-war a greater risk to students marks as students risk 5% of their overall grade for a small chance to get 3% bonus marks. The tug-of-war should not be to the detriment of our grade, and for myself and many others it has been a point in the semester to look forward to. This petition will hopefully sway Dr. Khanna to not discourage students from participating in what should be a highlight of the course.
