It's actually fucking ridiculous. I'm getting a C in a class I should get a B in because I didn't show up to class and participate in the fucking "activities", which are just mindless breakout rooms. Mind you, there were only 4 "activities" in the semester, so I got a 50% on them, and because there are so little of them, they weigh much more.

I lost 10% of my grade to "participation". IN A FUCKING MATHEMATICAL PROOFS CLASS!
