Valdosta State University : Changing the grading scale at Valdosta State to Pass/ Fail

The Issue

Due to the spread of Coronavirus, Quarantines have been taking effect across the the country. The mandated evacuation of all university campuses abruptly has affected all spring semester courses by transferring them to online-based learning. Though the movement to online classes is understandable, the teaching methods can be less than desirable for different learning styles.Many teachers are ill prepared to educate remotely and in turn, It will negatively impact the grades of their students. Another factor would be that many of our students do not have  consistent computer access or the WiFi capacity necessary to effectively take their classes online.That is why I propose that spring semester should be Pass/Fail  instead of the the traditional Grading.This would be a beneficial solution to both the students and the university.
