Given the dumbing down of academics, and grade creep, I wonder how many of the otherwise A grades were inflated? Or, were each and every one really earned?
If she knew that class participation was 25% of the grade why did she not try to please her teacher by behaving and participating in an orderly, polite manner?
If she received all A's otherwise, why would one C+ totally destroy her? If I recall a C+ was a passing grade, even for graduate school. It was not a good thing because grad students were expected to maintain a B average. Strange case. Should have been dismissed.

Interesting thought. Perhaps a sleaze lawyer can invent a new industry line of suing schools as part of professional malpractice against incompetent practitioners.
