Hello to both of you,

 

I’m writing this to you as a student in your Faculty.  I’ve written this email to show my support for a recent petition started by SFU students that has received over 4,500 signatures that calls for compassionate final exam policies.  I support giving students each of the three options, to be chosen individually by the student for each of their courses:

a) Pass/Fail instruction, whereas there is no effect on GPA but credits are awarded, or;

 

b) A grade freeze, where further instruction and examination/work terminates effective immediately and letter grades are awarded based on all coursework up to this date (including possibly making finals optional), or;

 

c) Allowing students to finish the semester as normal.

 

These are extraordinary times, and there is too much at risk for us students, not only in this semester but for the rest of our lives to not support this compassion.  I implore you, please support and advocate for these policies

 

Thank you.
