This week I am going to talk about a very bad policy to S.I.U.E has for its math classes. They require that In the college algebra classes to take an retention exam that is worth ten percent of your grade an you must pass it with a seventy percent. during the first four week if you pass it you get hundred percent then it goes down from their until the seventh week an you get a zero on it if your do not pass it with a 70. the reason I believe it be an unfair policy first of all is I all ready passed those classes with an c. Second part is that you are allowed to takes as many times as you want ,but you are not allowed to see what problems that you got wrong. Which makes it hard very to know what to study for if you do not know what problem you got wrong. You are also required to keep up with all your other test in the class that is going on at the same time. Since they will not tell you which problem you got wrong I believe it is a way for them to fail an student that is barely passing an subject that is hard for them. An for the school to make more money, because then the student has to take the class over again. It makes it very hard for us that work full time an go to school full time to try to study for two math test at the same time an keep up with the rest of our classes.
