Oregon Student: Grades are BS

Found an interesting link via JP's Blog...

Oregon Daily Emerald: Grading System Gets an F.

Granted, the author points out that Universities with no grades are only a fantasy. Granted, grading systems are somewhat imperfect...no professor can tell exactly what a student knows just by how they do on tests. However, grades are a necessity. Without them, how are we supposed to know what we do well or where we need improvement? How is a University supposed to determine who meets requirements and gets the degree?

Without some kind of grading, a BS degree (or BA, or Master's or whatever) is truly BS, and probably not worth the paper on which it is printed.
