[quote=Anonymous]1. Brown University
Brown University has a unique grading system in which students can choose which grading system they are participating in. Students can opt to be graded under the conventional grading system, but there are only grades of A, B or C, and there are no plus or minus signs in the grades. There is no grade of D, and failing grades in classes are not recorded by Brown University. On the other hand, students can also opt to only show their grades as Satisfactory/No Credit, which is reflected on the external transcripts of the student. Furthermore, students can request a written evaluation of their work from their instructor. However, this written evaluation is primarily for the student's own use for reflection and improvement. The rationale behind this system of grading is that students are not encouraged to use their transcript as the only proof of their academic achievements and progress. Instead, they are encouraged to establish a portfolio of work and experience that is only supplemented by their grades, which is why Brown University offers the option for Satisfactory/No Credit grading. It also allows students to personalize their transcripts and customize it according to their needs and strengths.[/quote]
