46.Anjali is a bright student in your class. But she has done very badly in a recent test and has not been behaving well. She has lost her father in an accident a few days back. Her low score in this particular test is going to take away a very prestigious scholarship from her which she was always aiming at. Besides, the loss of the sole earner in the family makes this scholarship all the more important to her. What do you think should the professor do? (PGP/15/044)
- Conduct the test once again so that Anjali has a second chance to overcome her mental state and thus move on and start studying and still try for the scholarship.
B. To avoid further piling up of pressure on Anjali, and knowing that she is otherwise a bright student, the professor should resort to stricter checking for the rest of the class so that there is a level playing field for all and thus Anjali gets relatively better grades and can still vie for the scholarship.
C. Such are the times which make a person strong and teach real life lessons. So let Anjali get her deserved grades only, in turn lose out on the scholarship and face the real world. However, stand by her to motivate her and guide her in the future course of her life.
- Don’t favor Anjali by giving any special grades in this exam but give a personal recommendation to her for the scholarship.
Answer: C
Explanation: a professor is supposed to be impartial at all times in his function of imparting knowledge and especially in evaluating his students. So options A & B are ruled out. Personal recommendation is again going to be like favouring a particular student. So option D is ruled out. However, it’s a fact that Anjali did not perform well and so she deserves a lower grade. But because she is going through a rough time, its expected out of the professor to stand by her and motivate her. Hence option C is correct.
