Updates

I have been hearing from students who feel ignored by the current grading system and feel forced to perform just to keep their grades up. Contact your department head today to demand a review of these grading policies. Post this link on your social media accounts to keep the pressure on the administration.

The momentum behind this shift in our grading policy is undeniable. Post the petition link to your social media channels today to keep this pressure on the administration. Text three classmates tonight and tell them why participation grades need to end.

This is an unfair way to grade students. If you are getting all the right scores but don't feel confident enough to say your RIGHT answer then why should you be marked down for the sake of speaking!

I feel that because of participation being graded that it sort of ruined my school experience
