UGA letting students choose their own grades

[zippyGT]

Sounds like Harvard MBA: everyone is equally great because they got in, so no one is allowed to reveal their performance to recruiters.

Similarly, when it comes to “tests and exams” for Watson’s “Data Management” and “Energy Informatics” courses, all will be “open book and open notes” and “designed to assess low level mastery of the course material.”

Since registering for classes can be stressful, students should be allowed to choose grades for courses that they are not taking.

My friend from Washington told me at Evergreen State College, they don't even have grades... Just a professor's narrative on the student's performance...

Honestly that sounds miles better than this UGAg bullshit. There's at least some evaluation based on external perception of performance. Still hard for me to imagine that this isn't some massive troll job by the Prof to comment on how asinine our participation trophy culture has become.

At least be original. UNC has been doing this for years.
