What nonsense!! You had a D, take it or leave it, it can't be changed!!!" Professor Tunde shouted Joe pleaded and pleaded, but all fell on deaf ears. Prof. Tunde was a strict and hard lecturer in the department of Philosophy. He barely passed his students. On the other hand, Joe was a final year student of the department of Philosophy, who had a dream of graduating with a first class. He had struggled to make a Cgpa of 4.6, but with the release of his last two results handled by Prof. Tunde, his Cgpa had dropped to 4.45.
