I took a calculus class at my local community college and IMO the instructor scammed half the class to drop after the first test (which of course was after refund period).
Buried in the syllabus you got a choice to replace a grade with a score on the next test, so the instructor made the first test super hard, the highest grade was a 70% and a class average 30%. So most that scored below 50% dropped, the instructor then only had to teach half the class, that had a better grasp to teach. The next test was a breeze, class average 80%.
So anyway, anything buried in the syllabus about dropping or replacing a test?
