This petition is on behalf of the students who took physics2140 Spring/Summer with Professor Taylor and Professor Thakur.
We believe we have been treated unfairly and with disrespect throughout the semester, and notably with the unfair final exam we were given at the end (which was worth 30% of our grade). We were told Professor Taylor would write the exam, but that was not the case. We were also told nothing in the syllabus Professor Taylor gave us would change. However, the format of the actual final exam was a lot different from the format described in the syllabus.
Professor Thakur's 2% curve did not help most of us, and was not enough to compensate for this final exam.
It was stressful enough that Professors were changed half-way through semester, and many students were negatively affected by that.
This class was a hassle to many of us. By signing your name to support this petition, you are agreeing to the fact that something should be done about this, and that you are unwilling to accept the grade that has been posted on Pipeline as it is.
The administration remains silent despite the volume of messages we have sent their way. I am exhausted by the lack of accountability but we cannot let them ignore the reality of how this semester unfolded.

Worst class i have ever taken. Switch professors in the middle of a term is such a mess and we are the ones paying for it.
