The administration officially announced that we are returning to the ten point grading scale. I am relieved that our university chose to prioritize honest academic growth over a restrictive system that held so many of us back. Let's keep paying close attention to how this transition is implemented for all …

Seeing 500 names on this page brings me a lot of hope because it shows that so many of my peers are feeling this same frustration. I thought I was the only one worried about these grades but you have proven that we are fighting for our future together.

Seeing this level of support reminds me why I chose to attend this university in the first place. It is inspiring to see my fellow students refusing to accept a system that compromises our hard work and academic future.

The new gpa calculation is petty and hurts students more than helps them. It is especially hard on serious hard majors like engineering.
This hurts students who will have an over all LESS GPA than a UNCG student doing the same amount of work because they have an A+ option
This grading scale makes it harder on students to successfully acheive the grades they want in their classes. You go from a solid grade to a minused grade in the matter of seconds which is killing our GPAs
The retention rate is going to plummet with the new scale. Its not fair to us to do this so late either. Should've systematically been implemented.
It is understandable that the University wants to push it's students to strive for excellence, but this grading scale does not do that. As a student who strives for A's, I feel penalized for losing GPA points for not receiving the highest a possible, and then am still not given the opportunity to receive more GPA points when I do receive the highest A possible. It is almost like I am being punished for excelling, when B+'s and C+'s are worth more quality points than B's and C's alone.

This plus and minus system has added extra stress to students. All the plus and minus system does is put more emphasis on grades, and therefore make the students focus more on their grade for the class rather than the content they are suppose to be learning about. Don't have the students so focused on the letters on a transcript that we don't learn anything in class. Help students focus on information again!
