Realistic synthesis
The people, events, figures, and contract terms are a synthetic premise. They are not statements of real cases or of current law. The source documents are the roots of the background and the norms and do not establish the premises of the scenario.
The question to decide
Participants in remedial classes perform well, but the effect of the classes themselves is still unknown. If only volunteers attend, everyone may sign up for fear of falling behind, and full participation eats into break time. Among keeping everyone, running it for volunteers only, and converting to joint activities, which choice should be made for chances of advancement and students' evenings?
