<div style="direction: ltr;">I am also into the idea of P/f. At SAIC all classes were pass fail but students could request letter grades if they wanted or needed them. A few times I had to translate acstudents p/f grade to a letter grade becUse they were going
to another institution that evaluated with letter grades.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">A similar situation would be ideal in my opinion.</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">When this happened, students would fill out a letter grade request form that initiated contact with the registrar.
</div>

</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">Let me know how things transpire,</div>

Dear Professor James,<br>
I write with enthusiastic support for the P/F model to finish our tumultuous Spring semester.<br>
<br>
While I admit that I am interested in the experimental modes that may be imagined and even implemented in the scramble that will continue to burden every employee of the university in the coming weeks, I do not feel that it is appropriate to share this burden
with our students.<br>
<br>
As instructors and professors across the campus roll-out experimental pedagogical strategies and technologies, I feel it is unfair to our students to ask that they not only play along as good-sports in these experiments, but also ask that they perform as scholars
to be evaluated by a traditional grading matrix, that was only applicable in a much more stable educational environment (if even then).
<br>
<br>
This seems a minor generosity for us to extend to our students and I hope that our colleagues across the Fine and Performing Arts work group will agree. <br>
<br>
Thank you for collecting faculty feedback.<br>
<br>
