I am writing to inform you about administration’s proposition to change grading policies for major level courses and the turmoil it has created amongst students. A change this substantial will greatly affect students going forward, and the pros/cons should be weighed out effectively before moving forward. In my opinion, a pass/fail grading policy would be very beneficial. The pressure to perform well in classes is sometimes unbearable, especially for those in majors that want to pursue a higher education after achieving their Bachelor Degree. In accounting specifically, the intense recruiting process puts heavy emphasis put on your “Accounting GPA.” I can speak for myself and my peers when I say the pressure to get an A in a class it too high.
