[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The argument that the failure range,[b] 0-59, is unfair because it's larger than the 40 point passing range[/b] is invalid even if it seems correct at first. It somehow came to be that demonstrating 60% knowledge was the minimal level for passing. The 50% rule allows students to pass with less demonstrated knowledge. For example, if a student consistently scored 70, then 10, then 70, then 10...he would have demonstrated knowledge of 40% of the course material. Bumping those 10s to 50s would result in an average of 60%. The student gets credit for the couse after getting only 40% of all material correct.[/quote] I agree that 0-59 is unfair because it's larger than the 40-point passing range![/quote]
