In light of the transition to a new and unfamiliar course delivery method for a normally in-person university, there should be a pass/no pass option for students and their classes.

Online classes present a challenge to STEM students because of the need for hands-on learning which has been sparse even in "hybrid" style classes. It has been evident that students struggle to uphold the same level of comprehension, and professors find it difficult to provide the same level of teaching in this enviornment.

Giving students this option will allow for more peace of mind when dealing with unforeseen circumstances in their education and lifestyle due to COVID-19. The school has done its best to be accommodating, but the reality is that this is a new and unprecedented time for all of us. Therefore, appropriate action must be taken.
