Amy accepted the apology although she was not quite sure if the teacher did it just to keep out of trouble or if he really meant it. The first Biology 101 examination was difficult. We did all the homework, we worked in study groups and we quizzed each other. With all the labor, the results were only mediocre. The medical students, however, seemed to do very well.
Many students feel they are forced to cheat so they can receive a good grade.
The basic biology class is this type and can be a highly stressful situation for certain students. Medical students at my undergraduate university are considered an elite group. Admission to the program is extremely competitive. Once enrolled, they begin a rigorous course of study. The program is designed to produce full-fledged doctors in only six years where most normal schools can take ten or more.
