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? According to an automated analysis of their smartphone data, both had stress and health-related issues they hadn't told their professors about. 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.
