This is not to suggest, of course, that in determining a quarterly or final grade, credit may not be given for such matters as class participation or student effort. While petitioner does not seek adjustment of the examination grades, I admonish respondent to maintain academic standards consistent with this decision in the grading of future examinations. I also find them to be unbecoming to you as teacher and member of our professional staff. These written comments, while obviously critical, do not rise to the level of disciplinary reprimands and I find no basis for ordering their retraction. However, since petitioner was correct in her accusation that full credit was improperly given for incorrect or incomplete answers on the mid-term examinations, as a corrective measure, I will order that a copy of this decision be placed in petitioner's permanent file.
Petitioner alleges that the exchange of papers was voluntary.
However, the record is unclear as to how the papers came to be exchanged. Upon the record before me, I find that petitioner has failed to establish that the statements commencing the exchange of papers, to which she objects, are inaccurate or otherwise merit corrective action. I have reviewed petitioner's remaining contentions and find that they have no merit.
