Though this is completely theoretical and, I'm sure, would manifest into nothing, it's still something to consider: Wouldn't it be cool if students had the option of taking either an "evaluation" or "learning" track in college, one emphasizing results--grades--and the other more forgiving of lower GPA's because, essentially, the student "sought" out tough professors and wanted to learn and didn't really give a damn about their GPA, as long as they were passing. I'm kind of in a dilemma like the latter scenario.

I'm currently taking a class with a kick-ass professor, but I don't expect to earn anything beyond a C+/B-; however, I've never learned so much from one course. If I could have it my way, I'd take classes with more professors like him and graduate with a mediocre GPA but will have evolved into the individual I want to be. But, then again, there's this little thing called Grad-school....
