One class. So fucking what?

>>136688870
Seems alright, but the grades should specify if the student chose the grade themselves.

>>136689012
What are the documented benefits of the policy?

No way will the Uni board allow this. The undermines any credibility they have with their degrees in the workplace and will therefore hit the hip pockets of the uni as no student will continue to enroll.

>>136690030
better grades

>>136690282
professors are given broad authority to evaluate their students as they see fit.

>>136689435
Because it ALWAYS start as just "one class/person/town/company".
Ten year later half the country is doing it because no one tried to stop it early and it has became a trend.

>>136690282
They could lose accreditation in the long term.

>>136690328
Why is that a benefit?

>>136690547
because better grades are better than not as good grades. its sort of built right into the word "better"

>>136688870
I am enlightened, I deserve 1000% grade on my exam

>>136690684
The point of a grade is to give a metric to a person's knowledge. What's the point of having a grade if a person can just choose what they get?

what is the documented negative outcome of this method?

why are millennials so fucking dumb and mentally ill?

Anyways it's fake news - as usual.

Here's the actual syllabus which has no such statement.

>>136688870

I'm ok with with people not being graded as part of "group dynamics - forcing people to study with Chad Thundercock and Sally Sleeparound was never a good idea in the first place.

Being allowed to work alone and not in a group would really, really help me t b h

>>136691143
Syllabuses are subject to change and are merely guidelines rather than hard set rules, are you really this dumb?

>>136690411
Usually but having worked in the uni sector they can definitely be overturned

>>136691077
Well we're at an impasse here, because as far as I can tell there's no documented benefits or negatives to the method, as it hasnt been tried.
You also didn't answer my question.

>>136691266
What's your point? No source = fake news.

For all we know some idiot hacked his page and added that statement to trigger other idiots.

Grades become meaningless if everyone can just choose to have better grades.

They exist to judge competency.

>>136691433

>They exist to judge competency.

Ever heard the phrase; ''if you can't do, teach''?

Teachers are the most incompetent people around.

>>136691433
certainly there is a documented negative outcome of this method then. i'll be right here holding my breath

>>136691597

Yes, you end up with a stupid population parading themselves as competent.

That's why it isn't done.

How old are you?

>>136691668
oops, you forgot your source

>>136688870
Check your high self esteem privilege. What about the depressed students who give themselves failing grades despite good work?

>>136691668
Yeah but the article is bogus. So why are we arguing?

>mfw graduated from the University of Georgia

At least I had one super red-pilled professor there 10 years ago.

>>136691077
are you a fucking idiot? How about an incompetent workforce, candidates not having basic and essential skills relative to their profession? Not demonstrating that you qualify to graduate from your program? The "Documented negative outcome" can be observed with every fucking idiot that gets a job they can't do, which is far too common in every single profession.

>>136688870
american universities have nothing to do with education anymore.
they sell a degree to their customers, and the customer is always right.

>>136689012
How about when I go to UGA to hire potential candidates, I can no longer trust in the grading system, and therefore, all straight A candidates look the same.

Why continue to hire at UGA at all?

I can hire from Auburn or Alabama, or South Carolina just as easy

God damn group dynamics, that shit was the reason i said fuck college. Fucking normies.

>>136689051

>>136688870
I actually read the article. You still have to get your grade approved by the professor. So you cant fail everything and still get an A or some shit.

>>136689012
>we just implemented this policy for no reason
>unless something bad happens .00003 seconds later, there's nothing wrong with it
Myopic thinking there retard.

>>136689435
Until it becomes trendy and others are pressured into doing it. I suspect they'll start with TAs and work their way to professors.

>>136689439
There is no way that is tenable with the university bureaucratic system.

>>136690328
Pretty sure you were just trolling with a response that stupid.

>>136696209
Professors are push-overs, and the anon that said that grades are easily overturned is correct. I used to teach at a university, I was pressured by the director to give students better grades because other teachers were passing out As left and right and it made me look like a worse teacher because I was being strict.

the only positive is...being able to abstain from group work
this is not high school this is not jr high
i understand the whole socialization aspect, the angle of cohesion for those who go into business or the military .
fuck team dynamics though
not everyone has to or wants to work in a team
not every career lends itself to teamwork
academics does not lend itself to abundant collegiality and the same with STEM no one should pick up your slack
i always hated being one of two useful people in a group

>>136690465
Yeah, this. Just twenty years ago, today's reality would've been a fucking joke. This nonsense is spreading fast, and the insane left will not stop doing this by themselves.

>murrishart education

>>136688870
In the past, the art's teacher of my school gave students only 1s or 5s.
If you know, you get 5.
If you don't know, you get 1.

He's right guys, everyone's grades went up!

>>136689012
Making objective validation of knowledge irrelevant surely won't detriment our society and our attempts to educate.

>>136690328
Yet they mean nothing. It's like getting paid in monopoly mony.

Sure you are now a millionaire but it's fake.
