Exercise 4

Some administrators in your school have proposed a change in grading policy for major level courses-that is, beyond the principles or introductory level. They propose that instructors be required to grade courses on a Pass/Fail basis only. What would be the advantages and disadvantages of this proposed policy? Consider both sides of this question, using critical thinking to analyze the pros and cons of the proposal. Then write a letter to the editor of your school's newspaper, or the local newspaper where your school is located, in which you summarize your findings. Chapter 9 discusses letters.
