■  Impossible to have all professors the same grading system

■  if any questions or concerns

○  Concerns:

■  Students have 3 different grading scales from 3 different professors (inconsistency)

■  Seems to be that it is extremely difficult to get a 4.0

■  The transition was difficult for all current students

■  C- is not in good academic standing with the school

■  Greek Houses & Athletics are struggling

■  Education Department struggles too because if they get a C- in a class then they are required to retake it

■  Just a plus system???

■  Since it’s a +/- system then why isn’t there an A+ granted?

■  Was not communicated to all of student body very well
