<p>I knew of some students years ago who purposefully did bad on the placement test so they could take a basic language class and get an A.</p>
<p>It is unfair that UVa does not offer enough language classes to meet the demand but has a rule that the language classes must be taken at UVa. If UVa let students take a class or two at home during the summer, it would take some of the stress off the system.</p>
