College finals are a consistent source of stress in college students, counting for about 20-40% for a class’s final grade. If a student works throughout the semester to maintain a passing grade, they obviously show some mastery over the subject and in many cases of poor final grades, it isn’t purely because of a lack of knowledge on the subject. I propose that policy be changed in such a way that the results of a final test cannot cause an individual to fail the class.
