    Default Is this a big deal (personal)

    The syllabus reads "The three examinations will count roughly 33%, class participation can then improve the overall record"

    However today we are give a map quiz and told it will count 10% I probably scored an ~80% on the quiz as I hadn't been studying because the syllabus clearly states only three grades were being taken this quiz notbaly absent.

    So should I say something?
    There, but for the grace of God, goes John Bradford

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    That's what I thought, but if we are running on a standard 100% scale (it excplicitly says % not points) than that's a bit misleading no?

    "roughly" probably means they haven't finalised the syllabus at time of writing.
