course. The course turned out to be very Christian oriented. I dont align myself with any particular religion. We talked alot about the life of Jesus. The day of the final everyone goes to the classroom and when we get there the chalk board says report to another room for our test. As Im walking into the room a homeless man asks me for money to get something to eat. I didnt have any cash but I did have an extra breakfast taco which I offered him but he didnt accept. Turns out this was our final. It was a test set up by the professor to see how we would react. I thought it was pretty cool but alot of people said it had a strong Christian bias (which I also see their point). What do you think? P.S. - only two people got credit for the test : myself for offering the food and another girl for offering money. P.P.S. - After thinking things outI asked the teacher why I received credit, because it was "right" or because it was "Christian." He said it was right so I accepted the credit.

"Fair" is the key word here. The word doesn't belong in a conversation about life. Life is what it is. It's neither fair nor unfair. It just is. Learn to accept life as it comes to you. It is your option how you will react. But don't expect life to be fair, the word doesn't apply that way.

Well, if it's a private school, then fair has nothing to do with it.
And although I'm no christian, our society and culture is strongly based on Christian ethics, so it's possible that the frequent references to Christianity are due to this concept.
Then again, I'm not there, so I can't really say. But "fair" isn't
necessarily a reality. In life, few things are fair. Just take what you can from the class, sounds interesting actually.

If the university is public and not private, I believe their strong Christian bias may border on illegal, especially if the grade you receive is based on such a thing. What if you were in a less-than-safe area and such an accosting could be risky to give any attention to? That is another problem I see with the final. I am apalled at this. I believe that it is wrong to grade someone on a test of their "morality." I don't believe that it was at all fair, and I would hope that the university is receiving complaints.
