Your spelling and punctuation demonstrate that...
A.) You can not be in college unless it is Kindergarten College.
B.) Your teacher is out of her mind to pass you on any subject.
C.) Not only is it wrong, the college should have their credentials revoked.
(Actually, if this is an English Composition class the teacher is liable to be arrested for a felony.)
g-day!

If you are receiving a grade for this "pass" and it isn't a good one, definitely DON'T go along with it. I had a teacher in college who decided to give me a C instead of fail me or give me an incomplete because she was leaving and didn't want to deal with it. I guess she thought she was being nice, but I had not learned one thing about the material, and clearly should have taken it again. I would have preferred an F, because I could have repeated the course, or a W, which is what we give these days. This C will haunt me for the rest of my life: it was a major course and already caused me trouble once getting into graduate school.
This is your education: take control of it.

* It does sound wrong.
* It probably won't make a difference if you report her because she is leaving anyway.
Talk to the teacher in person and explain to her exactly how you feel. Let her know that you will feel guilty if she passes you even though you don't deserve it and see what she says. If she insists on passing you anyway, just go back and learn the material again on your own time. That way, you will know that you would've passed the class given a second chance and you have earned the passing grade.

Is this a pass fail course? I assume not. Why settle for a passing grade when you will likely do much better by doing a retest. Your GPA is important. You are the consumer here and it is the school's responsibility to give you exactly what you bargained for when you signed on the dotted line.
As far as the instructor is concerned, don't worry about her, she is so out of there she was willing to pass you just to get finished. She will certainly not suffer in the least and likely she will not find out about it at all.

I am shocked and disappointed with the answerers who advised you to "grab and run". No wonder the world is in such a horrible state, with all these immoral jerks running around. I say do the honorable thing and take the retest, but only after you bone up on the subject enough to pass. When you have the opportunity, take a class in English composition; your writing skills need a lot of improvement.

In a way, she is showing confidence in you that she thinks you can indeed pass the test. It's a bit difficult, because you fell you are being (unfairly) advanced, and if you complain, others are likely to feel, "so, what's your problem?" If you, in your own mind, wish to prove that you can pass the exam, you can go to the office and nicely, very politely, ask if you might please take the exam again, as you feel that you were passed for convenience's sake, and you don't wish to take unfair advantage. But if the office says, don't worry about it, then don't.

I think that this is wrong because you won't learn for yourself about the subject. You should go to the office and ask for a remake. Study up on this subject and you are sure to pass. I believe in you!!

yes the situation is wrong but do you really want to take the test again? Did you learn something in this class did you retain some knowledge that is what it is really about not the final. I have taken so many finals and don't even remember most of it but have remembered other things so is it really failing

Chances like that don't come often. Accept the offer. If you feel guilty, do some extra studying on your own and have a friend quiz you if you need the validation. Don't tattle on the teacher, since she is retiring it could ruin her reputation that I am sure she has worked MANY years for.

There is no guarantee if you failed it the 1st time that you will pass it the second time.
I admire your honesty.
In this case, I think you should study for the test so that you actually know the information, and just let her give you the grade as a parting gift.
