Failing Students Saved By Stress-Detecting App, Dartmouth College Study
Earlier this year, two students at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire who were due to be failed for skipping lectures and not completing assignments were spared the academic axe. Why the leniency?

So instead of F's and a term's suspension, they were given a chance to complete the coursework over the summer and have now returned to campus.
