What do you think the school board will do?

In our university about 70% of the students from last semester physics class filed an appeal about the grade they received because many of them felt that the professor testing formats resulted in about 15% of the class getting a C, 15% getting a D, and 70% getting an F.



Complaints that were made were 1. that questions on exam were much harder than what was assigned from HW, presented in class lectures, or assigned in reading. 2. Exams were made too long for most students to complete in 50 minutes. 3. Professor intentionally made separate questions depending on the one before which basically made it impossible for a student to get the question right even if they understood how to go about doing the steps. 4. Giving little or no partial credit.



Appeals board gave professor a week to give each student a copy of the exams they took that were marked and their grading sheet which includes the points they got for each assignment and their final grade and the professor seems adamant to do it because she feels that the grades deserve to be that way and that the appeals board has no right to challenge it. The students with backing of dean, president, and their advisors are now seeking for a permanent grade change or an administrative withdrawal because they have the copy of the exam question for each exam but still are not provided their graded exams and grade sheets to determine what would be the appropriate way in going about this (whether it be by curve, or reduced scale).What do you think the school board will do?
Hopefully change you all grades and find a way to get the provost to get rid of that Idiot.
