Xi'an University of Science and Technology has had a "grade revision" turmoil, and it is getting bigger and bigger, which has attracted widespread attention.
What's going on?
The turmoil of "changing grades" involved two students.
One of the two students is Chen, and the other is Wang, both of whom are graduate students at Xi'an University of Science and Technology, and their test scores have failed, and they think they are "honorable" if they fail the course.
There are two flowers, one for each flower, let's talk about the first classmate Chen.
Student Chen failed the exam of "GNSS Principles and Applications" and failed the course. Mr. Qin, who teaches this course, is an associate professor.
It is said that the student's parents have a very hard background, claiming to be a researcher in the academician group of a research institute, which has more contact with the university, thinking that he will not lose face, so the father himself went out and asked to revise the grades for his child.
The grade of this course consists of two parts, one is the paper grade and the other is the usual grade, and the student's usual grade is 90 points, which is relatively high. However, the paper score is 25 points. The overall score is 45 points according to the school's ratio. In other words, this classmate Chen has a score of 25 points...... This thing, 25 opens a root number, and then × 10, it's less than 60 points.
Teacher Qin explained to the parents that the result was useless, and the purpose of the parents was to change the grades to more than 60 points.
For this reason, Teacher Qin and parents have communicated on the Internet many times.
Teacher Qin insisted on principles and said, "There is no problem with the grades, I can only express regrets, you should understand my hardships......"
But the parents did not relent, saying, "It is too difficult for you to produce the papers, and the grading is too casual...... It shows that you have a problem with teaching, and you do not have any sense of morality for the future generation of the motherland. I will continue to complain about the unfair treatment of my child......"
Later, in order to ensure the fairness of the examination, the college set up a supervision team to review the examination papers.
The result of the review is that the questions meet the requirements of the syllabus, the difficulty level is moderate, and there is no problem in grading.
Then there is only one reason, Chen didn't study seriously, a little more seriously, he won't even be able to score 60 points.
However, things turned around, and the teacher refused the request several times, but was eventually forced to face pressure. Later, although the school conducted a make-up examination, after adjusting the questioners and markers, the student's grades were finally judged to be passing.
After the matter fermented on the Internet, the school official said that it attached great importance to it and had set up a special working group to investigate and verify.
Let's talk about another classmate Wang.
Mr. Wang, who is also a graduate student, failed a course exam, and still failed the make-up exam, so he personally asked Mr. Qin to "change his grades".
Because Mr. Qin was not the marker, but only submitted the make-up examination results, for the sake of prudence, he checked the student's results by the way, and there was no problem with grading. The final score was 56 points
Later, this score was revised to 60 points by another teacher Zhang.
Mr. Zhang also admitted the fact of "revising grades". His reason is that the student has a good character and has been admitted to the graduate school of this university, and if he fails to pass the make-up examination, it will be difficult to graduate, and the graduate student will be in vain. In addition, the student once said that if he didn't change his grades, he would "jump off the building". "Changing grades is to save students"!
My first impression of this incident was: When did the school disturbance enter the university campus? There are also students who fail the exam and can revise their grades by "making a fuss", so why do they need to take the exam? Where is the equity and responsibility in education?
But where there are exams, there will be students who do well and there will be students who do poorly. If a student does not study hard, he will still fail the exam, no matter how easy it is.
On the whole, the university is not too strict with students' grades, and in general, if you fail the exam, after the make-up examination, the teacher will always take care of the pass, unless it is too far behind.
The problem is that there are many college students nowadays who lie flat when they enter the university gate, and some lose their goals after being admitted to graduate school. There are also students who are addicted to playing video games, and their studies have become a side hustle, and they often skip classes, how can they pass the exam?
Nowadays, the "strict entry and wide exit" of universities should indeed be changed.
Last year, China University of Mining and Technology made an impressive decision: it dealt with 31 graduate students, including 1 doctoral student, 24 master's students, and 6 master's students.
Beihang University punished those who failed the doctoral and master's examinations, and 404 students were withdrawn.
Hebei Institute of Physical Education has 40 students who have been absent from school for a long time, and the school has also ordered them to withdraw from school, these students are dissatisfied, and they also appealed to the Ministry of Education, which made it clear that if the student is not responsible for himself, his parents, and the society, then he should pay his due price.
A number of undergraduates at Huazhong University of Science and Technology had poor academic performance and were demoted to junior college students;
Hefei University of Technology dismissed 46 master's students at one time......
If college students don't study at school, they might as well go home and sell sweet potatoes.
This time Xi'an University of Science and Technology "grade revision" turmoil, although Mr. Qin was finally forced to revise the grades, but I think he is still a responsible teacher, the school should check how big the background of that student is, why so many school leaders and teachers say good things about it?
The school disturbance has entered the university campus, and the university should uphold the principle of responsibility for students and educational fairness, and not succumb to the pressure of the school trouble. For students who do not study, we should not be too tolerant and accommodating, and those who should be cleared out should be resolutely cleared out. I hope that this incident will make all universities reflect on it.
