<human>: Recourse against my professor/univeristy?

I am a SUNY university student. I took a very intuitive class that required countless hours of studying. I just did miserably. Before the final exam our professor emailed our grades for each assignment. 

I emailed him back asking if it was possible for me to pass his course as I have had a difficult time. 

He responded bluntly. No. He said you it would be **impossible** for you to pass my class. He noted that even if I got a 100 on the last exam I would fall .9 pts short of passing. 

He went on to say that he recommened me focusing my attention on my other clsases, basically tell me to not waste my time taking his exam.

I took his advice. 

A week after the test he sent an email out to our class saying he decided to **drop our lowest 4 grades** on a particular daily assignment!

Conceivably, I could have passed this course -- and not even needed a 100 on the exam.

Provide a brief overview of the text.
<bot>: Teacher told me I could not pass class, focus on my other classes. He ended up dropping 4 of our lowest grades which would have made it conceivable I could have realistically passed
