On the First Day of Class Your Professor Distributed a Syllabus

Essay

On the first day of class your professor distributed a syllabus that promised to base your course grade on a series of unannounced exams and a massive group project.As you scanned the room that day,you noted that many of your classmates did not share your enthusiasm for the subject and many were C students at best.You felt that your perfect 4.0 GPA was at stake if the professor's almost diabolical grading scheme were to be implemented.You decided right away that it was up to you to negotiate a grading scheme of equal parts class attendance,open book quizzes,and trivial homework assignments.How should you prepare for the negotiation and how should you proceed?
