Making The Grade, By Kurt Weisenfeld

In the article “making the grade,” by Kurt Weisenfeld, a professor of physics at Georgia tech

university, grumbles about a problem that he has been encountered with most of his

students in the past ten years. He figured that his students are worried about their grades,

however they don’t put enough efforts based on the grades they desire. On the other

hand most of his students are studying engineering and science. They answer the exam

questions partial, but they are not able to have the final answer correct, therefore it is

impossible for those students who have a responsibility to build a bridge or do their jobs

precisely. Not only the students’ view point is devastating for themselves, but also it is

pernicious for the society.
