Decision, decision, decision.

I was just shocked at first, when Professor K said that he would let us decide on how we should do with the test. I was even more shocked when people suggested not just curving the test, but also dropping one of the midterms. I was never in this kind of situation during my school years, especially in college. I didn’t care what others were saying at that point, I was too upset with my own grade and still doubting about the whole process. So I chose to Avoid the process of deciding, and withdrawing from the crowd that was so eager to propose a change. I didn’t think we would reach a 100% agreement because obviously, everybody would have their own opinion and it is hard to convince others to agree on your suggestion, since each person has different strengths and weaknesses in the test. Somebody always has something they don’t like in the last minute, so I didn’t have much hope. I knew it was some kind of scheme Professor K played on us. He probably had a blast watching us arguing over each other. I guess I COULD HAVE suggested something and be more active in the process since this is also part of my grade that would be affected. I just didn’t think my opinion matters because in end, those that disagreed with the proposal went with it anyway due to lack of time and peer pressure. I think to have a better result, maybe all of us should have written down what they think and then make the decision based on the suggestions with most votes, but of course that is too time consuming and since professor values “everybody’s opinion” majority vote is not really an option, although I prefer majority vote.
