Scene to read · Resilience, Ethics
In my apron pocket
You are a student in a university botany course.
During a timed plant identification practical in the greenhouse, Yeon, the teaching assistant, found your handwritten species list in your apron pocket. You had forgotten it was there and never took it out. She has recorded a zero, and your classmate Hadas stays behind with you.
The scene
Hadas: That's so unfair. You never even touched it. File the appeal today.
Yeon: Maybe you forgot. But I cannot know what anyone looked at.
Yeon: An appeal takes weeks. With a strong final, you still pass.
Hadas: Pass, sure, with a zero you didn't earn. Are you really accepting that?
The two questions
- 1Would you appeal the zero or accept it? What would you say to Yeon and Hadas?
- 2How do you decide which setbacks are worth contesting and which are better absorbed?
