As students of the University of Central Florida (UCF), we face a significant challenge in our academic journey - the course FIN3403 taught by Professor Whyte. This class has proven to be extremely difficult, with average exam scores often falling in the 60s. Many students end up having to retake this course, causing delays in their graduation timeline. This is particularly distressing considering UCF's emphasis on its students graduating within four years.

This situation is not only academically challenging but also emotionally taxing. Students are experiencing mental breakdowns over this class, especially those who aren't even finance majors but are required to take it as part of their curriculum.

We believe that implementing a grading curve for the Fall 2023 semester would provide immediate relief for current students. However, we also urge UCF and Professor Whyte to reconsider and modify the course content for future semesters. It's essential that education promotes understanding and growth rather than undue stress and anxiety.

Let's work together towards an educational environment that fosters learning without compromising student well-being or graduation timelines. Sign this petition if you agree that changes need to be made to FIN3403 at UCF.
