Decision Making

When the professor told us that he was going to allow the class to decide what he should do with the midterm grade I was very surprised because I never had a class where we were the given that option. When he said that the only way he'd comply with our decision is if we get 100% agreement within the class I knew it was going to be hard seeing how there are so many students in the class and everyone has their own agenda.

I didn't do too bad on the test so my what I wanted most to happen is to get the test curved, that way I would end up with a pretty good grade. I was very glad that getting their tests curved was pretty much on every else's agenda as well so within the first few minutes everyone agreed that that's something we all definitely wanted to happen. At that point I got what I wanted so I decided to just sit back and be accommodating to everyone else's demands. I didn't interject much after that because there were already more than enough people yelling over each other and trying to get their points and their demands across; and seeing how what I wanted to happen most (which was to curve the test) was already in the bag I figured what ever else would happen would be a bonus so I was willing to accomodate what my other classmates wanted without interjecting and causing more conflict and debating.
