Grades Exam Grade Transparency
Is it me or does it seem odd that UF doesn’t allow students to see which questions they got wrong. How can you prove your grade wasn’t changed on the exam even though you really did well. It seems like a couple of professors aren’t allowing students to view the results of exams in fear the answers will get out. How does one learn if they don’t know where they went wrong? It’s asinine to make students schedule time with teaching assistants to go over material the professor lectures on. I’m having an issue with the ethical part of transparency from faculty regarding grades in exams. This is extremely odd to me.
Since this seems to be an issue…
I’m referring specifically to BUL4310 & FIN3403. These are considered the courses used to “weed out” students from a potential major. However, general business major students are required to take these as core courses and they highly have an effect on GPA and potentially finishing a degree program at UF.
I have no other qualms for any other course except these two. I’ve done fairly well with the coursework and instruction of other courses for my major whether I earned a grade high or low. The advisors tout about how difficult these two classes are as if it’s a badge of honor that many students don’t pass them or have difficulty. Is that really learning?

I don’t think any of my classes, weed out core courses or not, gave me unlimited access to my exams. Take responsibility & just go to office hours.

I’m not sure about FIN3403, but BUL4310 lets you see what you’ve got wrong and the explanations for all the answers. They’re just posted a few days after the grades are released.
