[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Virginia Tech has handled it well.  Move outs were staggered and kids could remain on campus, if necessary.  Online classes seem to be going ok and kids can choose to go pass/fail if they want.[/quote]

Good point to note how colleges are handling assessment and grading. There'll be a lot of pass/fail grading which is totally fair and understandable. DC's OOS LAC is doing a more tailored thing--the student can decide "if I get less than a B (or A, or C, or whatever--student chooses) in this class, I want it recorded as a pass with no letter grade." If the student achieves the desired designated letter grade, it's recorded as that grade and goes on the transcript. No harm, no foul if it's a pass only, without letter grade. At least this is how I understand it, based on what DC has explained. Sounds like a way to motivate some students while also accounting for the fact some students are going to be stressed etc. and might need the pass-without-letter grade option just to help them in a stressful time.
