We want to change the grading system for assignments (not classes as a whole) to pass or fail, if an assignment was completed you would be able to get full marks, which goes into your GPA (for instance a 5 point assignment was done and it would receive full marks and be transferred into your GPA). Most other schools and even colleges have switched to that and especially with our workload it would be better.
The feedback I have received from many of you highlights how heavily the current grading structure weighs on your daily well-being. I am currently organizing the specific arguments I have gathered to ensure our proposal clearly reflects these shared challenges when presented to the administration.

Seeing the growing momentum for this shift in our grading system is a testament to the shared feeling that our current workload requires a more balanced approach. It is clear that many others find the prospect of pass or fail assignments to be a necessary path forward for our community.

The grading system is so outdated. We are drowning in work and this would really help us stay sane.

it makes no sense that we get penalized for small details when the actual assignment gets turned in on time. just make it pass fail.
