^ is it true if u make a face with tears pouring out of ur eyes saying .. " sorry I completely blanked out" .. do u guys consider giving at least partial credit?

Students will try anything & everything… and I mean EVERYTHING!
Re: tearful pleas, there isn’t a blanket response… they get heard but its rather easy to identify genuine cases where the student has done well overall in the course and deserves a little leniency.

@canadiandesigirl

good question. LC please do tell. I proctor exams for uni students and I have noticed some will write notes to the professor but I don’t know if it makes a difference.

Haha… yes, the notes in the final exams… requests, pleas, jokes and some outright weird comments too - generally these don’t work… but sometimes they’re a welcome relief during a marking marathon.
