Should grades be changed from "A", "B", "C", etc to just "Pass" or "Fail"?
Wouldn't it be easier to just know if you're failing or not or does it depend on knowing how badly you're failing or well you're doing?
"Pass" and "Fail" is easier

I think it should change to "Pass or Fail" because at least if you DO get a pass , fail , grade , then you know your doing work and passing . That way , if you fail , all you can doi s the work and then pass again ! ^__^ difficult to explain actually........... Side: "Pass" and "Fail" is easier

So what if "pass" and "fail" are easier, there's a big difference to most people between passing with a 51% and passing with a 94%. I was almost always an A+ student, so I'd like to get that grade, not a grade which puts me in the same league as those "good" slackers who wind up managing to get a passing grade. Side: Stick to letter grades
Letter grades. Easier to identify and it shows where you are. Pass means above passing limit, which is alot of percentage, while failing is below, with quite a few of percentage. Besides, it is easier to see how good you did on your paper then seeing, "Well, you passed, but you don't know how well you did". Side: Stick to letter grades
