No Grades at Swarthmore?

<p>Yeah. Eight hours a night is probably on the high side, because you’d have to miss late night fun time in the dorm. But, you make up for it sleeping til noon two or three days a week.</p>

<p>I will give Duhvinci credit for noting that first semester pass/fail is a great thing. For some students, it’s the first time in their lives they’ve ever taken a course without worrying about the grade. Can be an eye-opening experience.</p>

<p>I think my daughter is going to take a course pass/fail this semester. She’s taking five because she really couldn’t prune her list down to four. One is in a department where she’s never taken a course and on a subject that may require a different kind of BS on the papers, so pass/fail is the perfect option.</p>
