Letter to The coordinators of the Economics and Business program 2016-2017 and Microeconomics Lecturer Mr. Aljaž Ule,


This petition urges you to consider the circumstances of Microeconomics students, who due to logistics issues faced by UVA(BOL), didn’t write the midterm exam on 22 of November 2016.


Changes in predetermined setting of writing the midterm exam, should not put in jeopardy the grades of each student, by changing the conditions of the final exam. There are no questions as to why such unexpected changes occurred today, however we believe it’s not fair to transfer all the pressure on us - the students.


We truly believe that as the final exam will cover the whole material of the book, our grades will be put in jeopardy. In addition, as this course has a high passing grade of 6.00, we urge all the faculty coordinators to take into consideration our concerns and any of the following suggestions.


-Share additional material for preparation, analogous to the final exam,

- Lower the grade boundaries;

-Lower the minimum passing grade;


However, you might come up with your own solutions, as to how reduce the pressure that we’re going to face, for the final exam.


I hope that faculty and program coordinators, will take appropriate action to ensure fair assessment of its students

we need more practice material if the final is going to cover everything. just make it fair for everyone involved.

PLEASE listen to us. going from 0 percent to 100 percent of the grade in one day is way to much pressure for any student.

it is just not fair to have 100 percent of the grade depend on one single exam because of technical failures at the university. please reconsider the pass mark.

Perhaps schedule an additional and optional midterm exam for those Students who do not want a 100 percent of their final grade on their final.

We want by the end of this week when they're going to take a final decision, our voices and concerns to be heard, so they'll not to like today, when they decided the final exam to cover the whole material.
