Unless there is legitimate problem with question or answer choices I think its ridiculous, I didnt earn those points and its just falsely inflating these "meaningful grades".
I fail to see what babying half the class into a "passing" mark does to help anyone. You failed one test, get your act together and study harder.
/end rant
We should be on a pass fail system anyway. At least thats what they are going to in the states and it seems to be working better.Quote:

I disagree... pass/fail would not motivate me to study as much as the letter system. I think students would do what they do to get by and not go the extra mile studying and learning.Quote:

What course are you talking about?
its usually not just simply "pass/fail"
it's "pass/pass with honors/fail" - so, you're "motivated" to get a "pass with honors"
so how is that different from the letter grading system?Quote:
