in previous semesters, students that had unexpectedly low final exam scores wrote me back right away, or showed up randomly in my office during the next semester.so this semester i pre-emptively wrote them about it. whether or not this is a good idea remains to be seen: the optimist would say that since the instructor explained the situation first, then the news is easier to take ..
i guess they just wanted to know why, which i can understand.
.. but i myself tend to shoot messengers
(at least in my own mind)
sometimes, bad news is just bad news.
