A great idea just came to me for med school grading....
people who are doing very well hate P/F bc they don't think they are rising above everyone else (some schools DO rank based on numeric grades, though)....
Others who are learning for the sake of learning hate grade grubbing and the unspoken competition that comes with back alley rank....
How about you go in and take the exam and then only hear about it if you didn't do so well and the powers that be want to make sure everything is OK and that you are grasping the information....
you don't have grade grubbing (ohhhh that is annoying!) and you virually eliminate competition in class while maintaining an unknown rank for later on.
you will be able to keep a copy of the test, so if you REALLY cared if you got every question right then you could go ahead and look every question up in your 3000 page Robbins!!!
I think it is quite beautiful....
sound off...
PS: unless you are dead or in the hospital or an immediate relative is dead...NO ONE IS ALLOWED TO TAKE AN EXAM LATE!!!!!!!!
