<p>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.</p>
<p>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…</p>
