| Annotation: | This article discusses the movement for a change in grading within higher education during the Covid-19 pandemic. Specifically, this article looks at how changing grading to pass/fail for a semester at Duke University benefited students. It is noted that this system greatly reduced inequality in the classroom, especially with the use of labor-based grading contracts. These contracts assign every assignment a point value and students are given full points on their assignment as long as it meets the minimum standards listed or are able to meet minimum standards after revision. |
