The thing is, it’s all about expectations.
When the professor says the midterm will cover chapters 4-12 and the midterm actually covers chapters 8-20, people (and by people I mean students) tend to get upset. It doesn’t feel fair. You feel misled, maybe even lied to.
When the professor says the midterm will cover chapters 4-12 and the midterm actually covers chapters 4-8, people (and by people I mean students) tend to get upset. It doesn’t feel fair. You wonder why you spent all that time on chapters 9-20 when you could have been going over 4-8 or playing Game of Thrones.
When the professor says the midterm will cover chapters 4-12 and the midterm actually covers chapters 4-12, people (and by people I mean students) have to find something else to gripe about.
It’s all about expectations.
