    ampus Commentary
r hat do you think about a change in the grading system that would implement pluses and minuses?
“Last term I got
an 89.4 average and
received a B. This
proposal should.be
followed up on
because I'll get a
reputation of being a
B student when I
could potentially be
an A student."

and Society
“G.P.A. must be
considered in this
issue. There’& such a
wide disparity of
grades, it's high time
something is done."

“Other major
campuses have this
system, so I don't
see why they
shouldn’t use it here.
In the Engineering

- “I think it’s great
because it'll give
students an advan
tage if they know
whether or not they
have a high A or a
low A. There’s a big
difference."

“It's definitely a
good idea. I think
this improves a stu-
dent’s chances of
making the Dean’s
List. The distinction
between high and
low grades will in
crease student
motivation."
Jessie Fordham

“This change
would increase stu
dent competition and
C's won’t be as
common."
