Pass/Fail Grading System for Ramapo College Spring 2020 Semester


Pass/Fail Grading System for Ramapo College Spring 2020 Semester
The Issue
Due to unforeseen circumstances, students are being deprived of learning opportunities that have been provided regularly in years passed. Students at the university have the option to take online courses yet many choose not to because they feel they learn better in class. It is unjust to force this scenario on those who do not wish to have online classes to begin with. As a senior at the university, this impacts my peers and I far greater than most other students because we are losing out on valuable face-to-face learning opportunities that are tailored to our future occupational fields. My peers and I are not interested in an amended online curriculum that would deprive us of valuable in class lessons and are asking to move to a pass/fail grading system to avoid any complications towards our GPA’s. It is the easiest, and most sensible option at this point in time.
