Due to the global pandemic of COVID-19, University of South Carolina students will be working from home and doing online instruction for the remainder of the semester. Being expected to learn the same material without campus, classroom, and professors' resources will be more difficult and student performance will take a hit. In reality, many of these classes do not properly translate into an online environment. How does one conduct a chemistry lab in their house with no equipment? In addition, many of the professors in our school, while being unbelievable forces in their fields, have very little to no experience managing courses online. Students coming back from spring break are in self-isolation and for everyone, this is a very stressful situation. This is not an environment made for students to academically succeed. Additionally, students with certain disabilities can run into walls and major difficulties in the classroom, but the potential for that to get worse is greater with online instruction. Furthermore, the grading process will be severely limited and will place undue stress on students who have much less control over their ability to properly prepare for exams. The benefits of implementing this administrative change severely outweigh the risks. It is much fairer to students that graduate schools and employers see "Pass's" on students' transcripts than potentially risking students getting grades well below their GPA potentially negating all the hard work they have done (and will do in the future), destroying their employment and graduate prospects. To ensure this pandemic doesn’t affect our academic performance, we believe it’s in the best interest of the students to have a pass/fail option for all classes for the 2020 spring semester.
