Concordia University students asking for optional PASS/FAIL grading system for SUMMER 2020
Concordia University students asking for optional PASS/FAIL grading system for SUMMER 2020
Although Summer 2020 is over, we are doing this petition now because Summer semester 2020 took place during the pandemic as well as Winter and Fall 2020. It doesn’t make sense to have the PASS/FAIL option for Winter and Fall 2020 but not for Summer 2020.
For Winter and Fall 2020, the pass/fail option was given. Therefore, it has to be given for summer 2020 as well.
During Summer 2020, CO-OP students were still obligated to study. Other students were also studying to follow their sequence. All these students were going through the same stress and same circumstance as Winter 2020.
Since the pandemic did not end yet the PASS/FAIL option is offered again for Fall 2020.
It is not fair that the PASS/FAIL option is offered through out the year except Summer 2020, because the number of students is relatively lower than Winter and Fall 2020.
