Was it fair/ethical that my biology instructor gave me a grade of 40?

In our biology class, we are required to complete 5 of the 20-minute online reviews for each chapter in the textbook. Each 20-minute review session is worth 20 points. Completing all 5 of these is a total of 100 minutes, which is a grade of 100. Last week, I only completed 2 of the 5 (40 minutes total) reviews and the instructor gave me a 40 for that week. 40% is an F. Was it fair?
Could I at least gotten a 70?
 
yes it was fair. If you would have done 4 you would have gotten an 80%, 3 would have been 60%
 
SO, you are expecting to get awarded for doing less than what was expected of you? That is what is wrong with some people in today's society, they do nothing and the sense of entitlement.
 
Yes it was fair.

You did 2/5ths of the work required....40% and that is an 'F' in every circumstance.

Why do you expect a 'C' grade when you didn't even do 50% of the work required?
 
You only completed 2 out of the 5 required 20-minute reviews, giving you only 40 minutes. 20 X 2 is not 70, it is 40. Try it on a calculator. 2/5=40%.
