The Grading System: The Better Business Bureau

Decent Essays
The Better Business Bureau uses a grading system to protect businesses and consumers. The grading system is ranked from A+ to F-. The grade that is assigned to the organization shows the confidence level that the BBB has in the organization to operate in a trustworthy manner. The letter grade system is to help give consumers a quick review of an organization’s business practices. Previously, the BBB implemented a satisfactory/unsatisfactory rating which was unfair to the businesses. The grading system is figured on the actual business as well as the behavior of the business towards the consumer. The letter grade simply tells the consumer the degree of confidence that the BBB has in the organization and their business practice.

    There are a lot of on-going debates about the traditional grading system. Many argue that the system deters learning therefore; it should be overhauled and/or reformed.

    Professor Jerry Farber’s article “A Young Person’s Guide to the Grading System” has the intention of persuading college students that the current grading system is not effective by using rhetorical questions to imply its inefficiency, pathos to provoke the reader, and specific diction to help the article resonate with the audience; he even proposes a new grading system. Faber’s solution to the current grading system is to change it entirely, and, in place, have students receive credit or no credit for classes. In this system of grading, receiving a no credit would not have a penalty on the student’s record, but, instead, the records would only have classes where the student earned a credit making this different from the pass-fail grading system.…

    Furthermore, a revision of the Honor Code will not only limit cheating and plagiarizing, but it will ultimately prepare students for their future, with the understanding that breaking rules will end in a negative consequence. Students will evidently grow out of this habit and regain morals that will improve their honesty. The students at RVHS should be aware and constantly reminded that cheating and violating school rules will lead them to be rebellious, and dishonest people in the future who don’t value genuine qualities. With college as the next step of education students must learn that acts in violation of the code will not be tolerated and can end with the student being suspended or expelled (Source C). Moreover, these colleges and universities…

    The entire purpose of the honor code in any school, including ours, is based on the student populations’ integrity. This means that even when one is bystanding a bad behavior, that person would need to turn it in immediately. The students may have these strong moral principles, but do they have courage? To turn in a peer or maybe even friend can be hard to do when the confidentiality or one’s reputation is at stake. Students at Lawrence Academy ‘opposed this obligation to take action against another student because they did not see it as their responsibility.…

    It is irrefutable that, to a considerable extent, legal and non-legal actions are effective in administering justice for consumers. Consumer law has continually evolved in order to maintain its ability to protect consumers within the ever-changing modern marketplace - progressing from the common law notion of caveat emptor to an intensive legal framework recognising the fundamental need for consumer protections. While much of this contemporary framework - comprised of statutory bodies, law courts and tribunals, and working in conjunction with a myriad of other non-legal avenues - is highly effective in its delivery of justice, there remain areas of concern currently inadequate in safeguarding rights. Thus, although legal and non-legal measures…

    Honor codes/honor systems serve as a reminder to students to (especially) not cheat/plagarize. However, just how effective they are is up for debate.
