What about the people who are sitting on bad midterm marks but cannot raise their grades because they cannot write their finals?

Not to mention the stress that is out on students near the end of the semester when teacher pile on last minute assignments. How are we expected to keep up with all of this added work on top of relearning and entire semester of work?

100%, they cause way too much stress on students and it's really pointless having to base a big part of your grade on memorization for all the concepts learned in one semester for one day

Dear Connor,
The wonderful thing about petitions is that it can bring to light problems/issues that are occurring, along with solutions to fix these. That being said, I really am struggling seeing your side of this issue, and with the amount of students sharing your view, I am truly worried for our upcoming generations.
To begin with, let’s take a look at the problem statement “While life isn't always fair, since roughly 10% of students don't have to write exams, the other students shouldn't have to”. While on the surface it may seem rather unfair that some students have to write exams while other do not, this issue can be further analyzed by diving deeper and seeing the underlying implications; which clearly you have not.
Since your argument of “unfairness” can be related to your remark about the exams affecting students’ grades and acceptances to further education, I will tackle this as one point. You seem to be under the impression that writing your final exam could cause you to lose your acceptance to further education. While this may be true, the cut-off marks that they will let you drop down are, for the most part, in an acceptable range that any student who has been working hard all year will be able to achieve.
If students who have to write their final exam end up getting a mark which revokes their acceptance, then they can only blame themselves. Cut-off criteria are there for a reason; if you are so worried about losing your acceptance, then you should have put more effort into your studies. Several studies have been carried out which indicate that students do indeed achieve higher results on their finals then their midterms. Wouldn’t you want a chance to increase your average? Maybe try and earn a scholarship?
Now, these students which have been out of class for roughly 1 – 2 months have not been able keep up with the curriculum, and thus would suffer deeply if they were to write their exams. Going further with this, the students are alrea
Not fair when applying for university
