Make Southern Grades Pass/Fail Due to Forced Online Learning


Make Southern Grades Pass/Fail Due to Forced Online Learning
The Issue
Due to the novel coronavirus, all students have been forced into an online learning environment. Many students are not well suited for online classes, and the majority learn better in a physical classroom with their professors. Other students do not have all the resources needed which are typically provided on campus by Georgia Southern University. To make grading on a more even playing field and give no advantage to students who prefer online learning, or have better resources to succeed, all classes should be graded on a pass/fail basis. There are already a number of universities who have embraced this idea, and I believe it is most fair for all students in this time of uncertainty.
